Maybe, but Henson's Creature Shop might do a better hob than Magnetic Dreams. I find it amazing how Caroll Spinney can have Big Bird rollerskate or ride on a unicycle. That truly IS talent. But I believe that Caroll can't ice skate as Big Bird, so he had a double do it on "Christmas Eve on...

I know Baby Piggy's voice sounded a little unusual to me, but that might've been because she was voiced by a woman, instead of a man like the adult Miss Piggy is. Makes sense for the young version to be voiced by a woman, to make her sound "younger" I guess. It seems Frank Welker did a lot of...

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Tress MacNeille yet. She's been in every episode of "The Simpsons" these past few seasons! She's a great voice actress.

I like that Ed Sullivan version best of them all. The animation of the "visual thinking" looks much more better and detailed, IMO

Then again, I remember reading from a post last year saying the set was going to be redesigned next season. I guess this is what they meant. But it looks nice though. Man, with the new set, involvement from Jim Henson's Creature Shop and Caroll Spinney inside Big Bird once again, this will...

What surprised me was that I couldn't find any Little Jerry and the Monotones clips there. But they DO have "Danger's No Stranger" by How Now Brown and the Moo Wave. I must admit, "Danger" would probably never be rerun again, but "Danger's No Stranger" being rerun could be a possibility. It's...

Little Chrissy is named after his voice actor, Chris Cerf. And Little Jerry and the Monotones, the band members are named after their respective performers. Little Jerry = Jerry Nelson Rockin' Richard = Richard Hunt Chrissy = Chris Cerf Big Jeff = Jeff Moss In their 2000 appearance, I...

I like the new set. It looks a lot like the one they've used since 1998. And it's good to see Caroll Spinney in the Bird suit once again! Last season, he just mostly did the voice.

I think that segment was supposed to be a parody of those old Abbot and Costello horror films, like "Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein", with that bit with Ernie calling Bert when he's scared. I've seen the skit several times when I was little (we had it on "The Best of Ernie and Bert") and I...

Yeah, I'm also angry at Disney for releasing "Ratatouille" on DVD too close to the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5 release date. That really hurt the DVD sales for LTGC 5, and I'm kinda biased since I'm a Looney Tunes fan. BUT... I finally managed to see some of "Ratatouille" two days...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddenyc7A_to One of the News Flash skits featuring Suzanne Farrell, the ballerina. I had no idea this segment was from the 1970s!

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I had an interesting Sesame dream last night. It was one morning and my brother and I were watching TV. We were flipping through channels, and when we hit Channel 10, it was all staticky but I could hear the Sesame Street News theme beginning. Then the...

I guess the reason why Baby Piggy was voiced by a woman instead of a man was to make her sound younger. And Baby Skeeter was always voiced by a man. Frank Welker made a better Skeeter than Howie Mandel did, IMO. I've noticed that Baby Piggy and Baby Gonzo's voices sometimes sound very...

Spumco's animation was really good, too. It was practically done in full animation! I know that many of DiC's cartoons in the 1980s and some in the 1990s were outsourced to Japan. Usually it was Tokyo Movie Shinsha, like on "Inspector Gadget," "Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats," "The...

Well that's because Marvel didn't produce the special. It was mainly done by Southern Star Productions, and the overseas animation studio was Wang Film Productions in Taiwan. The regular Muppet Babies series' overseas studios were Toei (1984-1987) and Akom (1987-1991). I DID notice that the...

The Terrytoons stopped in 1968. The last one was DePatie-Freleng, they did original theatrical cartoons up till 1977! Close second was Walter Lantz's studio at Universal, lasting until 1972. Warner Bros. Animation's original run lasted until 1969 (their last cartoon was called "Injun Trouble"...

I hope the new Goofy short is good. When I first heard the Disney studio was going to make new theatrical animated shorts, my mind flashed back to 2003, when Warner Bros. Animation tried to bring back the classic Looney Tunes characters in brand-new theatrical shorts as a cross-promotion to the...

I saw that concept picture for "Up." The animation looks really good, and Disney-like as well! If they can do great CGI films, I am sure Pixar can do great traditional-animated films as well. It'll be good to see them do some variety.

I bet if Pixar did a movie in hand-drawn animation, it'd still be hyper-successful. But that would be good. Maybe they'll experiment by doing a short in hand-drawn animation before going to do a full-fledged film.

"Chicken Little" was basically trying to imitate DreamWorks. I'm glad this phase Disney's doing will roll over next year with their upcoming "Rapunzel" movie.
