7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Innerspace (1987)?
a.		The films release was accompanied by one of the most massive merchandising tie-in campaigns in Hollywood history. Among the items merchandised were puzzles, a reprint of the original nm0517452 series of books by Dell Publishing, childrens toys (including talking Pushmi-Pullyu and Rex Harrison dolls from Mattel), school supplies, a line of pet foods, and, in a truly bizarre move, small toy figures in each package of "Shake-a-Pudding". Additionally, as well as the obligatory soundtrack album, several major artists recorded "Talk to the Animals" and other songs from the picture, with star nm0627969 recording an album of nothing but "Dolittle" songs for RCA Victor. nm0002035 and Bobby Darin also released all "Dolittle" albums along with instrumental albums from jazz musicians nm0124270 and nm1121911. Most of the merchandise sold poorly, killing off movie studio interest in such revenue streams. Ten years later, this attitude allowed nm0000184 to easily get the merchandising rights for Star Wars and profit spectacularly from it.
