‘Gremlins’ director claims Baby Yoda was ‘stolen’ from Gizmo character
Fox News
"Gremlins" director Joe Dante said Baby Yoda from the Star Wars Disney+ TV series, "The Mandalorian," was "shamelessly" stolen from Gizmo's character.
"I think the longevity of [the films] is really key to this one character [Gizmo], who is essentially like a baby," Dante told the San Francisco Chronicle in a recent interview. "Which brings me, of course, to the subject of Baby Yoda, who is completely stolen and is just out-and-out copied. Shamelessly, I would think."
Gizmo is the main Mogwai character in the horror comedy, "Gremlins," and its sequel, "Gremlins 2: The New Batch," which premiered in 1990.
