If Hollywood Remade Nickelodeon Cartoons
The talented folks at Dorkly played with the idea of turning classic Nicktoons, such as Hey, Arnold! or Rugrats into modern day Hollywood movies, and damn they would look depressing as hell.

At the E3 demo for EA’s mega-budget cops and robbers game Battlefield Hardline, we saw action more commonly relegated to a warzone. Countless explosions and military-grade weaponry in the streets to stop a… truck robbery. Buildings crumbling. Havoc. No civilians. No one…
