Variety reports that Ricky Gervais’ children’s book Flanimals will soon be made into a 3D animated film.  In related news, Ricky Gervais wrote a children’s book called Flanimals. And from what I gather, it’s the ultimate kids-will-watch-anything bluff call.  Here’s the description from Amazon:

What is Glonk’s favorite pastime? If a Puddloflaj’s eyes pop out why can’t it pick them up? The Plamglotis only eats two things in its entire life. What are they? Why don’t you know the answers? What’s wrong with you? Anyway. Help is at hand from Ricky Gervais.

No offense to Ricky Gervais since he’s clearly America’s SweetheartthatwestolefromEngland, but, dude, he literally just made up words.  And then had someone else draw pictures of them.  Why the hell am I not writing children’s books?  You can just hit the keyboard with your elbows and then go, a Spurglamsk? Yeah, that’s a shark-headed orangutan who pulls the arms off naughty boys who won’t go for a ride in my van. The moral of the story is pay me.  And that kids are stupid.  See also: everything.
