There’s a “Garbage Pail Kids” documentary in the works, and the IndiGoGo campaign only has 9 days left.
While I’d love to see a doc about the infamous sticker cards, what I really want to see is a segment focusing on Rod Amateau 1987 cult classic movie adaptation. I wanna know all of the dirty little secrets behind the disaster of which I love oh so much. Without this, the documentary is incomplete (there’s no mention of it on the campaign page).
Either way, it’s happening, and it’s called “30 Years of Garbage: The Garbage Pail Kids Story.”
Our goal is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Topps’ Garbage Pail Kids Cards with an awesome documentary that is jam-packed with interviews and stories from the original creators of the controversial and explosively-popular 80’s card series. Grown-up kids will share nostalgic memories of what it was like to be a part of an international phenomena. Superfans will give us a peek at what a 30-year amassment of Garbage Pail Kids memorabilia looks like. We will explore the rich cartoon art history that bred this culture icon and proclaim Garbage Pail Kids as a solid mark of the 20th Century!
