Our goal is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Topps’
Garbage Pail Kids Cards with an awesome documentary that is jam-packed with interviews and stories from the original creators of the controversial and explosively-popular 80’s card series.
Grown-up kids will share nostalgic memories of what it was like to be a
part of an international phenomena. Superfans will give us a peek at
what a 30-year amassment of Garbage Pail Kids memorabilia looks like. We
will explore the rich cartoon art history that bred this culture icon and proclaim Garbage Pail Kids as a solid mark of the
20th Century!

Making a movie is never a simple task, but we're determined to complete this documentary in time
to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Garbage Pail Kids trading
cards.
We have already
interviewed multiple Garbage Pail Kids artists, countless fans, and
documented trading card expo events. As we begin to film additional
interviews, we are prepared to travel great distances - literally and
figuratively! Our production team is dedicated to bringing you the most bang, boogers, and (Adam)bomb for your buck no matter what gunk and goo gets thrown at us.
