Basically the whole story is Humphrey Bogart, Da Boss is a huge mafia guy in Chicago and the first scene shows his grave after he died in the mafia and his daughter Shirley Temple, Crystal takes the throne of his large Mafia. She takes control of some parks and such. whatever a 7 year old gangster would do. Then the rival gang, with leader Edward G Robinson, Frankie Joyce decided to retire to compete against the competition properly and puts his son Norman Chubby Chaney, Chubs, competes against Crystal. At first, Chubs follows his father footsteps and rules his gang as a mean mobster, but when he found out he was competing against the cute little Crystal. Crystal and Chubs have a friendly get together at the neutral ground, Grant Park, and Crystal changes Chubs for good. Over some time, Crystal and Chubs get in a relationship and the become great friends. Through their relationship, the gangs dissipate and they work together to make Chicago a better place.
Well we chose this genre because we wanted to be unique and stand out so we made the first comedy gangster of the time period. This would also appeal to many more people as we have combined to genres of film.
We used the Warner Brothers Studio because, at the time, they were infamous for creating great gangster movies and they were also dabbling in comedic movies as well. The best for "The Godtoddlers."
We chose Humphrey Bogart because he was a tough, mean looking guy at the time and his character would compliment the movie well. We wanted to incorporate Shirley Temple because she was just starting up in the movie industry at the time, and if we could go back and create this movie with her in it, it would obviously be her best movie ever. We chose Edward G. Robinson because he was another tough looking guy that would be a great gangster. Finally we chose Norman Chubby Chaney because this would make the movie funny in that aspect. He just looks funny, and the things he could bring into this movie are endless.
We would get around most Hay code no-no's by not showing the bad things such as death or drug trafficking because the story will focus on the childish "mafia" parts and what they would do. This would not only get around most parts of the Hays Code, but it would also be funnier to the audience, as they have never seen anything like this before.
If I had total control of thinking about this movie, I don't really know too much of what I would change, as I like it just as how it is already. But if I had to think of something to change, I would try to focus more on the quarrels between Temple and Chaney. This could also spur some more comedic moments in the movie and make the story longer as well. I would do this because real stories don't always end "happily ever after" soon after they meet.
