7 unrealistic gifts from movies we want under our Christmas tree

  1. Hover board from Back to the Future

According to director Robert Zemeckis, we are supposed to have this by now. He also thought the Cubs would win the World Series this year, so he was a little off.

2. Ted from Ted

We all want our own living, breathing, cuddly teddy bear, but due to their vulgar tendencies, we think this will not be a possibility any time soon.

3. Mogwai from Gremlins

Due to the terrifying consequences for breaking one of the three rules (do not expose it to sunlight, do not let it get wet and never feed it after midnight), we don’t think these will be a hot toy item this year.

4. A minion from Despicable Me

If only these lovable yellow creatures were real, the world would be a happier, and much stranger, place to live.

5. Baymax from Big Hero 6

A personal health care provider, the big marshmallow of a robot would be awesome to walk around campus with.

6. Turbo Man from Jingle All the Way

Schwarzenegger spends nearly a whole film trying to track down this coveted toy. Might be unlikely, but can you imagine waking up to find that under your tree?

7. Red Rider BB Gun from A Christmas Story

All that needs to be said is “You’ll shoot your eye out kid.”
