Twinkies Live On -- in Film! Foodfight Will Hit Screens in 2013 From Viva Pictures
SANTA MONICA, CA, Nov 19, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Despite the sad loss of Hostess brands last Friday, its popular
treat, Twinkie, will live on in the film Foodfight as Twinkie the
Kid. Viva Pictures announced today the VOD premiere date of the
animated film Foodfight featuring the voices of Charlie Sheen, Hilary
Duff and Eva Longoria. On February 12, 2013, the beloved character,
Twinkie the Kid, will be introduced.
"Prior to filing for liquidation, the Hostess family were very
instrumental in helping us capture Twinkie the Kid in his iconic
state for this upcoming movie debut featured alongside other classic
American icons including Charlie the Tuna, Mrs. Butterworth, Chef
Boyardee and the Vlasic Stork," stated Victor Elizalde, president of
Viva Pictures. "While it is sad that the delicious product may never
be tasted again, Twinkie the Kid will live forever in Foodfight."
Foodfight is a story of good vs. evil. When the lights are turned off
and the doors are locked, chaos reigns supreme for the products in
this grocery store as branded foods fight for shelf space against the
less tasty generics. This animated full-length feature is voiced with
a plethora of talented actors including Sheen, Duff, Longoria,
Christopher Lloyd, Chris Kattan and Harvey Fierstein. With the recent
news last week, it is ironic that in the film Twinkie the Kid battles
alongside the world's most recognizable brands to the bitter end to
help save their existence from evil knockoffs. Hopefully, the life
imitates art as Twinkie the Kid ends up on the winning side.
