What happens

Gooby (also known as A Ted Named Gooby) is a 2009 Canadian fantasy comedy drama film written and directed by Wilson Coneybeare featuring Robbie Coltrane as the voice of Gooby, a living teddy bear, and Matthew Knight as Willy, an 11-year-old boy who is scared of his new house. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes rates it 20% positive ("rotten") based on five reviews. The Kansas City Star said that "instead of inspiring children to be brave and loving, it will most likely send them cowering under the covers in terror." In 2019, YouTubers Drew Gooden, Danny Gonzalez, and Kurtis Conner made a video with a segment in which they reacted to trailer of the film, and later, the 3 uploaded a video of them watching the full movie. These videos brought attention to the film, where it gained a small cult following among fans of the YouTubers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
