Background:

To me, in case you’re gonna make a film a couple of toy monkey, you might be severe about it. However a lot of King is humorous and nostalgic feeling. So we tried to make a film that felt somewhat bit extra like one thing from the late ’80s – ’90s. It’s sorta like, if Robert Zemeckis had similar to somewhat little bit of acid and made a Stephen King image a couple of monkey toy.”
