Two tiny hands with three fingers, two huge bulging eyes, two bat ears, nestled on either side of a cute little face…
It’s clear that Gizmo, the famous Mogwai from the Gremlins movie, and Grogu (aka Baby Yoda), Mandalorian’s little companion, share many physical characteristics.
A similarity that Joe Dante, the director of Gremlins fame, recently evoked on a television microphone. San Francisco Chronicle. For the filmmaker, there is no doubt: his character was stolen from him.
“I think the longevity of the films really depends on the character. which is a kind of child”Thus he declared about gremlins. “Which of course brings me to the issue of Baby Yoda being completely stolen, completely copied. Shameful, in my opinion.”
Is Joe Dante’s resentment justified? Could Baby Yoda be considered a plagiarism of Gizmo? Or was Mogai simply an inspiration for the creators of the Star Wars series?
While we wait for the possible reaction of the Mandalorian directors to Dante’s words, the Gremlins will soon return to HBO Max in an animated series. Secrets of Magic.
