NickToons Movie to Crossover Cartoon Properties

Jared Hess will direct the NickToons movie, which aims to crossover Doug, Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy and Ahhh! Real Monsters!

Get ready for a cartoon crossover of massive proportions! Variety is today reporting that Paramount Pictures has hired Napoleon Dynamite‘s Jared Hess to write and direct a NickToons movie that will combine the worlds of classic Nickelodeon cartoon originals like “Doug,” “Ren & Stimpy,” “Rugrats” and “Ahh! Real Monsters!” No specifics are mentioned as to how, exactly, the NickToons movie will blend the shows’ various worlds, but plans for the feature are likened to Robert Zemeckis’ 1988 classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Although only “Doug,” “Ren & Stimpy,” “Rugrats” and “Ahh! Real Monsters!” are specifically mentioned in the trade report, there are quite a few other 1990s NickToons that could also appear such as “Rocko’s Modern Life” and “Hey Arnold!”. If you’ve got any favorite that you’d like to see on the big screen in the NickToons movie, let us know in the comments below!

Jared Hess, who also wrote and directed Nacho Libre, Gentlemen Broncos and, most recently, Don Verdean, will co-write the NickToons movie with his wife, Jarusha Hess. 

The NickToons movie will be produced by Mary Parent and Cale Boyter.
