From the mega-corporation who brought you “It’s a Small World After All”, it’s “Beverly Hills Chihuahua”!
This should only be allowed to be viewed on DVD players that are in the backseat of vans, that children are able to observe trancelike while wearing headphones that no noise can possibly escape from.

UPDATE by Bill: If I might toot my own horn, I was WAY ahead of this trendline. Evidence here.
But the Chihuahuas are SELLOUTS now, man. I remember when they were raw, playing CBGB’s and the Mudd Club. Here’s rare early concert footage of them:

In keeping with the faux-Aztec theme in the trailer, I’m hoping that the film will entail copious amounts of human sacrifice.

Do parents attempting to off themselves so they can leave the theater early count?

Preferably the sacrifice of everyone responsible for this movie.

I… I am offended, right now. This feels like being called a retard. There actually is someone who was convinced that people would actually pay to see. Someone who believed that there was enough stupid people to make this movie make money. I feel like I ought to travel to the Disney main office, in order to punch whoever greenlit this movie. Ofcourse, there would probably be a line longer than all of the lines in Disneyland combined.

There are good, great, nay, grand screenplays out there that deserve funding and development, yet THIS gets the green light. Not just any green light, either, but the light from the advertising and merchandising powerhouse that is The Mouse.
Rome, at its nadir, was not this offensively socially bankrupt. This is beyond a concept film to a film (well, a series of moving images with linked sound, anyway) about a trend in fashion pets.
That riff line in “Deathstalker” (”Hair club for men: the final conflict!”) was more prescient than ridiculous, apparently. What’s next? A movie about low-rise jeans? A movie about cheese sticks? I despair.

Does this mean we’re at war with Mexico again?

Is this retaliation from China for Kung Fu Panda?

I love it! It’s the sort of original family friendly, action filled spectacular that we’ve come to expect from our good friends at this large, but still very affable and charming, entertainment giant. I am sure that, whatever the plot might be, that it’s quite well thought out, but i do shudder to think of the quantity of these adorable little rascals that will need to be slaughtered in order to enable the fabrication of whatever item of clothing Ms. De Vil is desirous of making from their pelts.

Can you imagine the marketing push if this gets wide release?! This might even be one of the new ABC comedies in development along with the soon to be greenlit “Travelocity Gnome” and “I Stole Meatloaf’s Underpants.”

So will we get a rifftrax of this which entails of 90 minutes of Mike, Bill, and Kevin crying? Cause I’d buy that.

[…] Hills Chihuahua AAAAAAAAAAH!!! I caught a glimpse of the teaser for this film awhile back when the RiffTrax blog brought it to my attention (presumably because they hate decency over there), and my brain died for like a week. The film did […]
