    New Mickey Mouse Shorts Announced

    It's gotten a 4th season? Source, please. If this is true, then it's great to see Disney still caring about the shorts rather than completely making Mickey back into a preschool franchise.

    The Nicktoon Thread

    Craig Bartlett must have twisted the CEO's arm so much he ripped the flesh right off. Same goes for Genndy Tartakovsky and Samurai Jack for CN. Now can Craig McCracken complete the trifecta and do that for Wander Over Yonder? :D

    Last movie you watched

    Now I finished watching When the Wind Blows, rather appropriate given the climate we're in today. It's a very bleak and depressing animated film about an old British couple trying to survive the aftermath of an atomic bomb blast, after spending a childhood surviving WWII. It's based on a graphic...

    Questions about anything

    Are they made from scratch, or do they use those brands you mentioned? If it's the former, than heck yes it does. If it's the latter, maybe the fact that you don't see it oozing from a plastic container that makes it seem better. It's kinda like how soda seems to taste better from a glass bottle...

    Worst/creepiest puppets/puppeteer work

    Now here's something I'm curious about. There was an old French children's block that aired in the '80s called Zappe! Zappeur. It was essentially about a lazy dog with an short attention span who has a habit of rapidly channel surfing, eventually causing it to explode in a Muppety fashion. It...

    When you need to rant...

    UGH! ABC is thinking about reviving American Idol, which may have something to do with Ryan Seacrest becoming Kelly Ripa's new permanent co-host. :grr: http://tvline.com/2017/05/02/american-idol-reboot-abc-fremantle-revival/ Didn't everyone stop giving a crap ever since Simon, Randy, and Paula...

    Animation Conversation

    I totally want to see a new animated film from the directors using the same techniques, if they're not working on one already. :)

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    As expected, Guardians Vol. 2 demolished this weekend's charts, even making more than its predecessor. It helps that it was released in May rather than August, the dumpiest of dump months. It should even be able to beat next week's big contender, a King Arthur film directed by the same guy as...

    Which is what makes Hong Kong Phooey all the more special, as it was something original for them during the '70s.

    Animation Conversation

    Yeah, TRH is a pretty forgettable show, essentially The Flintstones with an Ancient Roman coat of paint (and interestingly, that's what The Flintstones was supposed to be at one time). But at least it had a great theme song, which was what H-B was usually good at. :)

    The stop-motion thread

    Aardman's coming out with Early Man next year, making it the 3rd stop-mo film of 2018. :) http://www.aardman.com/aardman-and-studiocanal-announce-2018-release-dates-for-early-man/ And the story seems to be about a caveman fighting against the encroaching Bronze Age to save his village, which...

    Fede Alvarez to Write and Direct Labyrinth Sequel

    I hope it crashes and burns during production. Knowing JHC's difficulty of getting anything off the ground these days (The Fraggle Rock movie, the Dark Crystal sequel, Happy Time Murders, etc.), that's likely to happen.

    The stop-motion thread

    Wes Anderson's got a new film coming up next April titled Isle of Dogs, and it appears to have a strong Akira Kurosawa influence going by the poster. And it's his 2nd animated film after Fantastic Mr. Fox...

    Pet Peeves

    There was a thread about this many years ago. http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/kanye-west-proud-non-reader.38247/ And Drtooth talks about how he hated reading back in school because he was forced to do boring assignments on books that didn't speak to him, yet enjoyed reading when he...

    TV Tropes

    Thank Glob I've never encountered anyone like this on the site. Then again, I haven't visited the forum in years.
