Written By A Kid Season 1 Trailer - YouTube

basicly, they ask a kid age 4-9 to tell them a make believe story, asking the kid about every detail, and then making it into a short movie, animated, live action etc.

also it has joss whedon

Aaron Douglas is going to be starring in one of the episodes as a Firefighter as well. I think it's an absolutely brilliant idea.

Well, it's certainly one way to get some original story ideas!

Well it's a tried and tested formula getting kids to tell stories then getting adults to bring them to life, look at how popular Axe Cop is now. It's even getting its own TV show apparently.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the first Spy Kids an adaptation of something Robert Rodriguez' kids told him? Or was that Shark Boy and Lava Girl?

I read they're already planning a reboot...

That's a nice idea! The internet seems to have embraced childrens retellings of popular movies, so giving them a chance to make their own seems only fair

First episode is up.

Just watched it. Pretty funny stuff (especially with that new guy, "Joss" somebody)
