Family Home Movie ‘Mad Max Junior’ Brings Kids into the Apocalypse
Your heart is about to grow three sizes on this day.
Former Nickelodeon director Ian Pfaff and his wife are pretty cool parents, as evidenced by a pair of tricked out Little Tykes cars they made for their kids. The custom-made vehicles, which they call Mad Max Mobiles, were inspired by Mad Max: Fury Road, and they were recently a viral hit here on the internet.
Now, the Pfaffs have taken this whole thing one big ole step further.
Working with filmmakers Aaron Ulrich and Markus Rutledge, the awesome parents brought their kids into the Mad Max Universe proper with a faux trailer (or family home video, if you prefer) titled Mad Max Junior. The premise? A little girl’s family has been stolen from her in the post-apocalypse… and she’ll stop at nothing to get them back.
“My wife and I turned a couple of Little Tykes cars into Mad Max Mobiles for our kids,” Ian explains. “With the help of some friends we took the cars and kids out to the desert to make this “family home video.”

The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has scored the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen above.
The website details, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story will be seen taking heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, expected Halloween 2024.
Jeffrey tells us, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent and incredibly dark movie.”
Megan Placito has joined the cast as Wendy Darling, Kit Green is Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) is Michael Darling and Charity Kase (RuPaul Drag Race) is James. Martin Portlock will be playing the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
