It is possible that we have stumbled into a parallel dimension - and this is the Mandela Effect or something?

Well, the original film did first appear back in 1982, so there is a link to THE MISSING EIGHTIES...

It wouldn't be any worse than the Dirty Dancing remake, surely?

That's like wanting to remake THE NAKED GUN without the humour...
Oh wait, they're doing that too.
The older I get the less sense any of this makes to me.

Some post-production singing and dancing added in could give it the edge though.

Admittedly, this could compromise the drama somewhat.

There is a reason a number of us worked so hard to forget the 80s completely and yes, drugs were actively involved.....
Top Gun, Boy George, "Padded Shoulder Power Suits" (thank you Nancy Regan....not), the S & L bailouts.....
Not too mention a POTUS who needed power naps and whose legacy is an "inter-active" Library that doesn't focus
on reading!!!!!!!....... or the actual collection of books! ( Or was that Jr.???? I always get those two mixed up). But hey, he met John Wayne and had a great collection of of US old west bronzes..... Goodeeeee....!
And to those of you who loved and admired him... The "War on Drugs", (epic fail) The CIA supplying "the best guerrilla terrrorists" we could and then arming them to take over the country on our behalf... and so on and so forth ad nauseam.... and lets not forget all of the Midwest Auto factories that were shut down and the unions that got broken so Corp. Execs. could "outsource" the work without all the nasty money having to go into the pockets of American workers! Cause well, that just worked out great didn't? Detroit is a bloody graveyard!
Sorry, sorry, sorry..... I slipped "upwards" onto my soapbox and went a little bit batshit there for a moment.......
Bad WNW!
And because I have to fight 3 hours of "radical" traffic with Mum correcting my driving; so she doesn't have to change hair salons...... I'm a "little" pissy on Thursdays. And I apologize for the outburst. My Mum's ex (yeah, yeah, my DNA TOO) manipulated her out of all her retirement money so I have any number of hot -button issues on Thursdays..... again, sorry.....So because you guys keep getting exposed to my toxicity when I can't keep it locked in a box in my brain marked " Don't go there!!!!!
Ya'll get bunnies to make you smile!

DreamWorks Animation and Universal Pictures are moving forward with a sequel to this year’s box-office hit “The Boss Baby” with plans for a March 6th 2021 release.
Alec Baldwin is returning to voice the title character in the sequel which brings back the creative team from the first film which was based on award-winning author Marla Frazee’s picture-book series.
Tom McGrath directed the film which follows a suit-wearing, briefcase-carrying baby that pairs up with his seven-year-old brother to stop the dastardly plot of the CEO of Puppy Co.
Miles Christopher Bakshi, Tobey Maguire, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Kudrow, Steve Buscemi, and ViviAnn Yee also lent their voices to the film which opened this past March and has since grossed $469 million worldwide, including $167 million domestically.
