This is the movie we never knew we needed.  As more and more people are thinking about heading back to movie theaters, Hollywood is starting to put more and  more of them together.

Animated movies have been steadily making a comeback and they will make an animated movie based on just about anything.  Case in point, a new animated movie about Peeps candy is coming.  I saw this and it grabbed my attention because Rob Tanner, our fearless morning show quarterback, loves him some Peeps.

Makers of the film say imagine Trolls  meets the Smurfs kind of vibe.  So, adorable.  It will follow a group of Peeps characters  who set out on a cross country journey  to attend PeepsFest in Pennsylvania.  That is the state where the candies are made.  To learn more about the movie, get your details right here
