I saw that commercial (and a few others) on the Wreck-it Ralph website before the film opened.

You realize that they planned a sequel the second the Box Office receipts for that came in, right? The movie was meh, which is frankly better than it looked. Hank Azaria carried the whole thing, and there still was no call to bring them into the "real world." I'm pretty annoyed they're doing the same with the sequel, but considering I did nothing but blow up at the first movie and actually didn't hate it, I'll keep my mouth shut. Even though this one's just Hangover 2ing.

It's till better than Yogi Bear. That was really bad. It's a sad thing that the human cast pretty much made the Smurf movie tolerable, but the human cast took the Yogi Bear movie and destroyed it with their suckiness.

When this movie comes out, I'll say to people (to quote Wreck-It Ralph,)
"You're not going to Turbo, are you?"

You're lucky. You didn't see it. Yeah, I'm going to complain and then wind up seeing it and maybe liking it... but it's a pretty stupid concept and a desperate attempt to get that sweet, sweet Cars money. Dreamworks went back to it's Sharktales roots for this one. I just hope Peabody and Sherman is good. At the very least, let's not try to be worse than Dudley Do-Right.

"You're not going to Turbo, are you?"

You know what? No one has been able to put 2 and 2 together. The first character to say "Going Turbo" was M. Bison from Street Fighter... or should I say Street Fighter 2 Turbo.
