The team built six normal dolls, plus a variety of stunt toys, and individual body parts. “Practical things, for whatever reason, seem to touch us more,” he adds. The doll is, for the most part, totally tactile - not computer animation - save for some enhancements to his eyes. To understand how a toy from a store works, Masters “hacked up a bunch of dolls” and found the key to making Chucky an emotionally compelling character is keeping him real. They explored simple ways the new life form would learn pain and discover the real world around him. With a toddler’s naiveté in mind, Masters, his team and designer Einar Martinsen aimed to not over-animate Chucky and turn him into some hyperactive puppet.
“How he’d look at Lars with his big eyes and subtle emotions.” “He’d talk a lot about his young son, and how curious he was and how he’d take in information,” Masters says. The concept for the re-imagined character began with discussions with the film’s Norwegian director, Lars Klevberg, who found a nontraditional inspiration for a freaky horror villain: his 3-year-old child.

So, we kind of took the corporate polish off it, and kept removing parts of it and made it more and more simplistic.” Chucky from the 1988 movie “Child’s Play” ©United Artists/Everett Collection “Think about how that logo got simpler over time and now you can barely even tell it’s a mermaid. “We kind of thought of it as the Starbucks logo,” Masters says. “His costume is still striped, and he’s still got the suspenders.”īut, he adds, “There’s other stuff that we definitely wanted to make sure that we weren’t too close to.” “There’s definitely some respect paid toward the original design,” says Todd Masters, president of MastersFX, the firm that created the doll. So, while you’ll recognize aspects of the toy that gave you nightmares, he’s really Chucky 2.0. Now, for a more technologically advanced era, Chucky’s bloodlust is a factory defect.

Yes, the ginger-haired, maniacal doll is back in theaters for the first time since 2004’s “Seed of Chucky” in the new movie “Child’s Play.” (The last two entries in the franchise were direct-to-video.) My Buddy doll, kind of creepy, but okay, I guess.Ĭhucky doll? Hell to the N to the O, take that shit back.This weekend, while Woody and Buzz are making you cry, Chucky will be making ’em die. The trauma that could have ensued to our kid makes me think that taking this doll back to the store could be a brilliant idea.įinal say. I’m pretty sure that anyone who owns a Chucky will wake up with it looking at you, like, you are his next victim. It is a bit unnerving to think of the possibility.
I’m pretty sure that this is what happens to My Buddy after dark. They inverted the color of the overalls and shoes from My Buddy’s red and blue to Chucky’s blue and red. They are both wearing a little blue hat, overalls, and striped shirts. I mean look at the two dolls next to each other … But with today’s technology we can compare easily. I wondered how they could have gotten away with doing the movie with the My Buddy.īack then there was no Google Images to compare the two dolls. It had been a few years since I had been around a My Buddy but in my mind, sitting there at the movies, Chucky was a My Buddy.
