I feel like a lot of the "retro" ones don't have enough stupid bullshit for the characters to be doing, or don't give enough visual room for it somehow. In the old ones it's like Where's Waldo --- if you were standing in line outside the theater staring at one, you could have really kept yourself occupied for a few minutes. Points for including a banner-flying biplane, though.

Edelman is not known to me, so I was assuming their biggest casting "get" was Carol Bagdasarian, the daughter of Chipmunks creator and vocalist Ross. Apparently she made a decent go of it as a 70s TV actress, with an appearance on Harry O and seemingly five different named roles on Mannix. Her biggest film parts seem to have been this Model T movie, a supporting role in the Chuck Norris vehicle The Octagon, and a major role in a forgotten 1980s sci-fi movie called The Aurora Encounter.
