This adaptation of the famous kids book by Judi & Ron Barrett completely expands on the world of its source material to tell the story of an inventor (voiced wonderfully by Bill Hader) who unleashes a storm of food. This may be for the slightly older kids, and some of its gender politics are dated, but Diane Keaton keeps it moving with her ace timing. Nancy Meyers co-wrote this clever family comedy about a successful woman who finds herself the unexpected mother of a 14-month-old baby girl when her long-lost cousin leaves her the child after her death. And if it introduces them to the live-action films and series, then it will have done some good.
Still, kids love to see new stuff, and this was very recently in theaters, so will likely be a major draw on Hulu. Not the superior live-action version with Christina Ricci, but the 2019 animated version that made a minor dent at the box office.
