Furby Toy's Time to Shine on the Big Screen
If Disney can transform its characters into live-action stars, then so can Hasbro.
The iconic Tiger Electronics toy, Furby, has plans to hit the big screen. Although there are no details on the movie's plot, cast, or release date, Hasbro executives have confirmed that the film will be a live-action and CGI hybrid.
Furbies became popular in the late 1990's and were the first successful attempt to produce and sell a domestically-aimed robot. Anyone who bought a Furby in those early years may remember the toy speaking Furbish. But not to worry, the Furbies will speak English in the upcoming film.
Until more information is revealed, here are a few Furbish phrases to master:
wee-tah-kah-wee-loo: Tell me a story.
wee-tee-kah-wah-tee: Sing me a song.
u-nye-loo-lay-doo?: Do you want to play?
u-nye-ay-tay-doo?: Are you hungry?
u-nye-boh-doo?: How are you?
u-nye-way-loh-nee-way: Go to sleep now.
u-nye-noh-lah: Show me a dance.
