The strip ran for 10 years from Nov 18,1985 to Dec 31, 1995 and over that period we saw Calvin go on adventures in his mind with Hobbes as well as murder a few snowmen. But enough of this history lesson.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cole Drumb from Film.com has <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.film.com\/movies\/story\/threefilmsfromthewishlist\/11597472\/17886918\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">created a wishlist of 3 films<\/a><\/p>\n<p> he would like to see, and who he wants directing them. Among this list, he&#8217;d like to see a Calvin and Hobbes film, and who does he want to direct? Brad Bird.&nbsp; &quot;If not done properly this film could cause riots in the streets and destabilize small countries.&quot; says Drumb, &quot;The comic strip is as perfect as one of his movies and should not be trusted to anyone below Bird&#8217;s caliber. Brad Bird is the only writer\/director with the chops to tackle this delicate, heart-warming and hilarious strip.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>You can read Drumb&#8217;s full reasoning behind <a href=\"http:\/\/www.film.com\/movies\/story\/threefilmsfromthewishlist\/11597472\/17886918\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this decision here<\/a>, but what do you think?
