Ever seen it? It's got these three furry puppets Tula, Ivor and Groove, who belong to an alien race known as the Hoobs. They're visiting 'Peeps' (humans) on the 'Peep Planet' to find out the answers to all kinds of questions about us and our ways of life. At the end of each program, they transmit what they call 'Hoob News', a "new program for Hoobs everywhere". This is all under the direction of a Hoob called Hubba, back on Hoobland, and supported by a roaming Hoob known as Roma.
Afterwards, while I'm getting myself ready to head out, I start imagining what 'Hoobs: The Movie' might look like.
Imagine the rest of this post in that deep american movie-advert voice we all love:
=====
For the last five years, the Hoobs have been walking our Earth, finding out all they can about the Peeps - our Human race. Knowing the suspicion of the adult Peeps, they elected to ask all their questions of our children, believing them to be the innocent truthtellers that they are.
This has always been about the truth, but little did we know how horrifying the truth was.
For, while it was their aim to understand us, this was just the beginning. Under the guise of mere curiosity, the Hoobs have been gathering intelligence on their new enemy. Knowing their every transmission was being observed, military reconnaisance was cleverly hidden in childsplay - "Hoob News". Their true mission: To Subjugate the Peep Planet.
Under the direction of Commander Hubba, the Hoob armada is ready to attack. They ride in machines that sing their war anthems. They know our strengths... they know all our weaknesses. And their time is now.

There must be other good "So-and-so: The Movie" ideas out there. What have you got?
