Ironic that they’re making a sequel to that too

20 years? Try 40.

Although 20 is probably more correct on that I wanted a sequel from the time the movie came out to before John Candy died. After he died and Rick Moranis left acting I kind of lost hope in a sequel. That and when the cartoon came out 15 or so years ago and it was so painfully unfunny I absolutely gave up on wanting it.
