5The author intends to remake this story with {{Creator/garfieldodie}}, like the first movie. Though it seemed to be stuck in DevelopmentHell, it was eventually confirmed that it would come out in 2014. After garfieldodie finished the rewritten Fanfic/CanYouImagineThat, he posted [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/10184493/1/Calvin-and-Hobbes-II-Lost-at-Sea-REWRITTEN the first chapter]] of the remake, and has taken over the project due to Swing's busy schedule.
