- Meet the Deedles is a 1998 American live-action Disney comedy film directed by Steve Boyum and starring Paul Walker and Steve Van Wormer. It was the first theatrically-released film to be produced by DiC Entertainment since 1986 . Its name is a play on the Beatles album Meet The Beatles. It is also one of Disney's attempts to capitalize on surf culture, the other two prime examples are Johnny Tsunami and Rip Girls. Meet the Deedles follows the story of two dimwitted surfer brothers from a wealthy family, who are expelled from their high school after several reckless shenanigans. Hoping to straighten them out, their father sends them to Wyoming to attend a specialty boot camp for languishing rich kids. Once in Wyoming, the two are mistaken for park rangers and are thus hired by Yellowstone National Park to rid the park of a prairie dog infestation which happens to be part of a dastardly plan orchestrated by a deranged former ranger. Reviews for the film were almost unanimously negative, claiming the film was nothing more than a poor attempt to revive the goofball duo genre of films such as Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Dumb & Dumber. Areas of the film that drew the most criticism were its two-dimensional characters, overuse of surfer slang, ludicrous plot, and questionable morals. Despite the film's failure, it became a cult classic in the following years with a request to be released on Region 1 DVD. Although the film has occasionally aired on The Disney Channel, it has only seen a limited release on VHS. The film was released on DVD only in Europe, in the PAL/Region 2 format. Tagline: To protect and surf!
