Technically, there's no news on teh story, so it *could* be set further 
in the future when Elroy is older ... and thanks to Politically Correct 
idiocy, "Elroy" is probably an Asian trans-person with a missing arm 
and Judy will be black and in a wheelchair.

It wasn't a very good movie. Part of the problem is trying to stratch 
out a 30min animated show to be a 1 hour (or more) movie, plus the 
silliness of adding in musical numbers (which simply annoy most kids I 
know), etc.
