Gizmo is still an icon
Izaac Wang is too young to have experienced the Gremlins movies the first time around, but he didn’t have trouble understanding Sam Wing’s bond with his Mogwai buddy. “Gizmo obviously was pretty iconic. He’s pretty easy to recognize at first—especially when I saw him and how he was animated, I thought it was super cute because it’s this fluffy little thing,” he said. “My point of reference for Gizmo was either, like, one of my really close friends or one of my cats. There’s times Gizmo would probably act most like one of my cats, where they’d make not so smart of a move—or where [they] would make a really intelligent move that I wouldn’t expect.”
