Action Movie Kid fights a shark in the living room

Fox has reportedly bought the rights for a feature film version of Action Movie Kid.



Action Movie Kid is back! If you're not familiar with his adventures, Action Movie Kid, aka James, is the 4-year-old son of DreamWorks animator Daniel Hashimoto, who has made a popular series of special effects-enhanced YouTube videos featuring James playing in various incredible and death-defying situations.

In his latest adventure, James must battle (and save his baby sister from) a creature from the deep:

He's back! It's the return of Action Movie Kid! Daniel Hashimoto likes to record videos of his 3-year-old son James doing everyday, average kid stuff. But when dad is an animator for DreamWorks, those everyday, average videos get super-powered, and little James becomes Action Movie Kid!

Using the power of Adobe After Effects, Daniel makes awesome videos of James in a variety of epic situations, from lightsaber shenanigans to cliffhanging shenanigans. After posting them to YouTube under the channel Action Movie Kid, young James' adventures became a big hit. Now he's back for a season two of sorts.

AMK Volume 2 is a compilation of all the latest adventures. Take a look:
