According to The Hollywood Reporter, B-list icon Charles Band is making a doll-and-bomb-themed movie of the same name. Charles Band detailed the Barbenheimer plot, in which a doll scientist named Dr. Bambi J Barbenheimer, living in the city of Dolltopia, resents the way people treat dolls.

So he sets out on a mission to explode the real world with a giant nuclear bomb. Barbenheimer’s synopsis states, “They have a great look and a great attitude! And now they have a bomb.
