Just finished watching the 2013 Academy Award nominee Ernest & Celestine. It was a beautiful and adorable movie about a bear and mouse who become unlikely friends through being unwitting criminals. The animation is especially gorgeous and Ghibli-esque, but what really floored me was that it was...

The word "Soccer" originated in the UK as a shortened form of "Association football". Also, Australians and New Zealanders widely use "soccer" to differentiate itself from "Australian Rules Football", which they simple call "football" or "footy". Though with major federations there adopting...

I remember Drtooth bringing this up in a couple of threads, but Cartoon Network has actually greenlit this show that started off as a series of shorts and a mobile game under the title Lakewood Plaza Turbo, and is now bringing it to a full series. It's about the employees of a strip mall in a...

So, that American-made live-action Ghost in the Shell movie can rightfully be considered a flop, as it performed below expectations even in China where it was expected to be saved. So it doesn't seem like a sequel will be coming, thank goodness. :rolleyes...

I've heard about this before on Cracked. You definitely don't see something as ambitious like this very often! And at a fraction of the cost of the average Hollywood CGI film, who says stuff like this can be expensive? And the same studio did the stop-motion Peter and the Wolf film. Saw that on...

"My dad is a Power Ranger!" - A kid from an episode of Rescue 911

None of the new movies that have come out last weekend managed to make it into the top 3. The closest is the latest Disneynature documentary Born in China, which is in the 4th ranking. Also, The Smurfs have slipped into 6th place, down from 4th last week...

So awesome to see you back and hear that you're making so much progress in your life, but at the same time it sucks that you're being assaulted by so many morons on the web who have nothing better to do than to tear others down to make their own miserable lives seem better. :( I myself have...

Mary herself does look very good, which may explain why the series has been slashed from 13 to 9 episodes, and why she has barely appeared in eps past the first. It's supposedly derived from a web series that I've never even heard of. So, there's that. Also, so awesome to see you back, even...

And it all started back in 2001 with the first of these, The Magic Ring, which was also the last T&J project to be produced by Hanna & Barbera themselves. I've never seen this myself, but it's gotta be better than the movie from the '90s where they talked, right? :D...

Yes, partially by an Indian studio. http://www.madassemblage.com/ourstory.html

Except that was produced outside of the Hollywood system for pennies, and it was planned to have sequels for a long time now. And even though it flopped, it was not a huge loss because it was so dang cheap. At least Norm is staying out of theaters this time, if that's any consolation.

Spark did chart, though at a pathetic 24th place! It took in around $100,000, far worse than The Oogieloves, though that's an unfair comparison as the latter was given a wider release. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/?yr=2017&wknd=15&p=.htm

The Fate of the Furious, the 8th installment in the Fast and the Furious franchise, shows no signs of slowing down with a $100 mil.+ domestic take this Easter weekend combined with about four times that in international ticket sales, putting it on the top 5 biggest earnings in 2017. Trailing...

Spark is nowhere to be found on Box Office Mojo's rankings for Friday, so I suspect some amount of sabotage by the distributor. And it took in less than $50,000 that day, too! :eek: Here's hoping Nut Job 2, which is from the same studio, gets a similar treatment...

The only episode I feel was a big misfire for me was "No Such Luck". It's reminiscent of the SpongeBob episode "I'm With Stupid" in that it starts off decently enough, but falls apart around the 2nd act. It was totally uncalled for for even Lincoln's own parents to be so superstitious as to kick...

Yet another Wheel puzzle reference tonight: this time, it was simply THE MUPPETS. Pat even did a Cookie Monster impression when the contestant solved it, which is technically not inaccurate, but I usually think of characters other than the ones from Sesame Street than from TMS.

Maybe their mouths are all dried out, or they have a case of morning breath.

The Boss Baby and Beast are still going strong. Unfortunately, The Smurfs is at a pretty distant 3rd, opening a little less than the 2nd live-action movie. Which is kinda unfortunate because this looks like the Smurfs movie that Sony should have made from the beginning. Betcha The Emoji Movie...

And most important of all, it's a black guy depicted doing this. That's a demographic especially known for having a pervasive "macho" mentality, along with Latinos.
