For their streaming service, Warner Brothers have shaken the dust off one of their own properties.
Gremlins came out in the cinemas in 1984 with Steven Spielberg as Executive Producer. For this animated prequel both Spielberg remains as well as Director Joe Dante.
Shot in 2d cell animation. From the very first scene of Mogwai, it is clear that the inspiration is Baby Yoda/Grogu. There was no other reason why this series was greenlit.
Mogwai has been wrested away from his ideal homeland and is now a circus attraction in 1920s Shanghai. Young Sam Wing and his Grandpa (voiced by James Hong) decide to rescue Mogwai but there are others after him as well.
The elder Sam Wing appeared in the movie. The Grandpa character knows about these creatures and the havoc they can create. Hence the rules, the first being never get them wet.
The series is aimed at both children and those who were kids when the movies were released. It got a bit too talky in the middle before a big action set piece. I could sense younger children would had got bored in the middle of it.
