Toy Story 3: Cocoon
The other movie path available to pensioners is best exemplified by Cocoon. A handful of old folks take a dip in a pool with alien pods in it, and become young again.
Ignore all the alien pod stuff, the last part is universal to almost every old folk flick – at some point, they’ll adapt some aspect of youth culture, usually for comic effect.
The Plot: Buzz and Woody are old. Their parts are broken, their paint is peeling and Buzz’s laser isn’t as bright as it once was.
But then middle-aged Andy takes them in for repairs so he can give them to his son.
The pair get fixed, and gain a new lease of life, as the objects of affection for Andy Jr.
The happy story is offset by a slighter more reflective subplot, in which Mr and Mrs Potato Head are ignored by Andy (operating as a metaphor for society) who slow fall to pieces.
Likelihood Score: 9
Next: The Tear Jerker

The Coc**n idea actually sounds quite good.

I would definately pay to see the body swap idea, I'm surprised no-one's done it before.
