'Calvin and Hobbes' Get Dark and Twisted for Fake Feature Film

If you've been holding your breath for a sunny movie about comic book best friends "Calvin and Hobbes," you can keep waiting.

There is nothing cheerful about this trailer by Gritty Reboots. Granted, it isn't for an actual movie, so we'll accept this dark and twisted version.

The "movie" has a somewhat Inception-inspired plot, in which Hobbes is simply a figment of Calvin's imagination and eventually gets sucked into Calvin's subconscious. Calvin then must venture into his imagination to get him back.

Calvin is also sporting some pretty awesome magical powers here, but his adult self is much more emotional than we all remember.
