‘G-Force’ Teaser Tests Our Ability to Comprehend Stupidity

Now I know why we’re having such a hard time fighting the war in Iraq. We aren’t using guinea pigs as soldiers.

Disney’s G-Force,a film about a group of highly intelligent guinea pigs trained by a covert government program in the art of espionage, doesn’t come out until July 24, 2009. But we’ve got the teaser for it in all its furry goodness, thanks to the official Disney site. Be careful for falling cedar chips. The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

G-Force has a pretty solid cast of actors attached to it, with the likes of Sam Rockwell, Penelope Cruz, Tracey Morgan, Kelli Garner, Bill Nighy, Steve Buscemi and dare I say it, Nicolas Cage. The main problem I have with it, and many other animated films, is the tendency to make characters racial stereotypes. Penelope Cruz is “Agent Juarez?” Why didn’t they just name Tracey Morgan’s character “Agent I Play Basketball Well” and have the guinea pig wear a skullcap and gold chains? Yay perpetuating of ignorance!

Are you ready to hold G-Force? Is there any way to save Nicolas Cage’s career?

  • Am I the only one who assumed this was the adaptation of the cartoon G-Force aka Gotchaman aka Battle of the planets?
  • When I first heard somewhere that Disney was releasing something like this I was like "...WTF?!! Disney is producing Gatchaman? I mean there's blood violence and male ambiguity villian in the cartoon..." But then I was like OH its a Gunea Pig flick oh ok its Garfield and Alvin and Chipmunks all over again.
  • Damn it Adam I was so thinking this was Gotchaman and all excited. Talk about coitus interruptous.
  • You and me both, Alericc. I didn't mean to be such a tease.
  • You dirty Ho Adam....lol
  • Who says he's not.
  • Adam, Maybe Agent Mooch should be called Agent Salmonella then Agent Blaster should be Agent Xzibit pimping rides and stealing parts in a mini junk-yard.
  • I think you're onto something here. Haha. I fully anticipate my cousin's kids falling in love with this movie and me shaking my head many times in response.
  • Wait, can the humans and the guinea pigs talk to each other? Because if they can actually speak to each other, that creates a pretty fucked up world, considering the humans are talking to them while millions of their brothers are enslaved in households and flies and bugs are killed by the billions and we're eating what are clearly advanced and sentient beings. DISNEY WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
  • Are you kidding? Just go down to Ecuador and see how much they love their guinea pigs...Rotisserie Style!!
