Gremlins is a 1984 American comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante and released by Warner Bros. The film is about a young man who receives a strange creature called a mogwai as a pet, which then spawns other creatures who transform into small, destructive, evil monsters. This story was continued with a sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, released in 1990.
British author Roald Dahl, who served his military service in the Royal Air Force and was familiar with the concept of the gremlin, published a children's book that he called The Gremlins (1943). In it, he named the male gremlins widgets and the female gremlins fifinellas. In Gremlins the movie, the little furry creatures are called mogwai. What is a mogwai? ï¼é­æªï¼é­é¬¼ï¼ Mogwai can be translated from Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese as meaning monster or demon. In Gremlins, the mogwai is a cute little animal who likes to sing. The Peltzers name him Gizmo.
