'Rick and Morty's New Movie Is a Mistake the Show Can't Afford To Make




The '90s saw the success of feature-length, theatrical films based on adult animated shows like Beavis and Butt-Head Do America and South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, but the same demand does not exist today. Given that the entire runs of these animated shows are available on streaming, the notion of bringing the characters to the big screen feels less monumental. There are certainly exceptions, as was the case with The Simpsons Movie, but that was a specific case in which enthusiasm for the film helped to spark renewed interest in the series. Rick and Mortyis a strange place because it is still one of Adult Swim's most popular shows, but doesn't have the same cultural cachet as it did during its best years. There is potential for a massive shakeup for the future of Rick and Morty, but a film isn't necessarily the right option.
