Cause why would they get pulled into the world of their own time?
Well, movie magic has been known to create period movies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What would Kenan be doing in a period movie?

Fred, it gets even freakier. According to the little blurb in EW, it's not just a live-action Fat Albert movie: apparently, it's about the animated Fat Albert characters stepping into the real world or something.
I admit, I saw the trailer, and I got a kick out of it. I find fish-out-of-water movies (e.g., Blast From the Past) amusing, as long as they're done well.
I don't know if I'll see Fat Albert, but the trailer made me laugh.

Acting? Or are goofy black kids strictly a 2004 thing?
I dunno -- Starsky and Hutch was set then, Fat Albert is set now -- nothing but a creative judgment call.

Based on Steph's reaction, I went to look at the trailer - but I don't wanna download Quicktime. Oh well. Will have to stay in the dark dreading what they have done to my beloved characters.

Well, I was just considering Kenan's target audience, who weren't alive back then. Does the retro factor work on twelve-year-olds?

More importantly, do they know who Fat Albert is? Will this be Kenan fans in the kid demographic, and retro older fans?

That's what I think. I mean, I don't think I've ever seen a Fat Albert cartoon. Has Cartoon Network ever showed them? I just know about it because, well, I don't remember. Pop culture. It happens.

Did the Cos really sign off on this, or does someone else have the rights to this now? I'm really hoping it's the latter, because although my comedic hero has sold out a few times, this is just too much for me.
