Another crime of modern cartoon to real-life adaptations - in each movie, a "trendy" (read - overplayed) hip-hop/RNB song must play, and our beloved characters from the 80s MUST don shades and boogey down to it.

I hate when they throw in an overplayed song and force the characters to dance in an unnecessary dance party ending. Cheap and annoying.

And even funnier the slang is just about always 10 years out of date or has been so overplayed even the dorks on ESPN wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

I bet the movie will be remade at some point.  And E.T. will have a hoverboard with a scantily clad female alien with big knockers printed on the bottom.
It will be called E.T. and A
