Seems those dusty, page-raped Berenstain Bears books might be worth seeing on Ebay soon…. so dust ‘em off kids!

Shawn Levy (“The Pink Panther”, “Cheaper by the Dozen”, “Night at the Museum”) is spearheading a feature-film version of the book series by Stan and Jan Berenstain.

The film, which like the recently-announced “Marmaduke” (and – gulp – “The Country Bears” movie) would feature live-action and CGI, would likely be ready for release in 2011.

“The Berenstain Bears” family consists of Papa Bear, the woodworker father; Mama Bear, his homemaker wife; and their three children: Brother Bear, Sister Bear, and Honey Bear. Stories are set in Bear Country, a society composed entirely of bears. Story lines typically follow the Bear family as they deal with topics relevant to both children and parents. The books spawned several TV series’ and computer games.

“I’d like the film to be un-ironic about its family connections but have a wry comedic sensibility that isn’t oblivious to the fact that they’re bears,” Levy, who will be producing the flick, tells USA Today. “The comedy comes from this bear family coexisting in a more recognizably real world.”
