How would you do that without being too close to Ernest itself? What other films in the oddly specific "90s wacky family friendly comedy" genre would you take inspiration from, something like RocketMan? Would Ace Ventura be too far removed?
An original idea would not only solve the "Jim Varney's been dead for 25 years" problem but probably allow for more creative concepts, but you would really have to try to nail that feel
I was thinking about this the other day with the North Park thread, I admire the time and effort put into the concept but you can't say it isn't just "South Park but different", and I feel that's not the best choice to make with a creative project
