Variety brings us news of the newest big-screen adaptation inspired by a rampant fad. And when you consider how much coin WB has earned on stuff like "Pokemon" and "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers," this latest news should come as little surprise. NeoPets, for those not in the know, are cute little virtual pets who get fed, get fat, and fall asleep. According to Variety, "WB and NeoPets have already firmed a concept for the first film and have begun talks with an animation director they would not name." Plans are already in place for stuffed animals, video games and McDonald’s Happy Meal tie-ins. Parents, watch your wallets!
