The classic 1987 film Predator, known for its star-studded cast and thrilling action scenes, has been given a whimsical makeover as a charming Pixar creation. The movie, directed by John McTiernan and written by Shane Black, featured acclaimed actors such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers, and followed a group of skilled commandos as they faced off against a deadly extraterrestrial hunter in the jungles of Guatemala. Thanks to the creative efforts of YouTube personality Yellow Medusa and the use of AI programs like ChatGPT and Midjourney, fans can now experience a delightful reimagining of this beloved classic.
The animated video presents a unique perspective, transforming the traditionally macho characters from the film into cute and cuddly versions. The Predator, usually portrayed as a violent hunter, is depicted as a helpless creature resembling a Funko Pop, in need of assistance to find its way back home.
The concept of an animated film featuring the Predator may sound like a stretch, but the franchise has a history of reinventing itself. The series has consistently embraced experimentation, as evidenced by 1990's Predator 2, which broke from the original's jungle setting by taking place in Los Angeles.
The Predator franchise has undergone a transformation with a series of films that have challenged the traditional concept of the movies. The franchise has had two crossovers with the Alien franchise, a thrilling 2010 movie titled Predators, which draws inspiration from Lost by introducing an unlikely group of people in a dangerous situation, and an action-comedy flick, The Predator. The most recent addition to the franchise is the prequel movie, Prey, which follows the story of a young Comanche woman in the early 1700s. Though different, each Predator movie has its unique identity.
The Predator franchise has not yet been animated, but it has come close with numerous comic books and video games adapted from the property. With the success of Prey, the filmmakers may take the franchise to the next level by venturing into animation. However, an animated movie would likely carry a much more R-rated content than what has been presented in the current movies.
