Just saw the movie last night. My thoughts: This movie is a weird hybrid. On the one hand, you have the Warner Bros. animated stuff, most of which works pretty well; on the other, you have the typical big bloated WB production of late that has a lame nonsencial plot and big special effects...

Ahh, another classic returns. Thanks, Jamie and Phil! I get such a kick out of this one. Do we have different menus leading up to Christmas, then? (Not different from last year, necessarily -- just different from each other each week.)

Well, it's 11:50 p.m. by my clock, so there's still just enough time to post this today. A major milestone: the first Mickey Mouse cartoon, "Steamboat Willie," was released 75 years ago today (Nov. 18, 1928). Happy birthday, Mickey!

As has been pointed out on TP, it was a year ago today that Kermit got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The mayor (?) declared that day was Kermit the Frog Day. That's as good as an annual holiday for me. So...happy Kermit the Frog Day, everyone! (Especially to Kermit.)

I just saw this, posted today at TVGuide.com: FAR OUT!: Hey, 'Scapers — this is the news you've been waiting for! The Jim Henson Company is holding a press conference Thursday to "announce an exciting new development in the campaign to continue Farscape." Among those participating in the media...

Hi, all, I'm trying to compile a list of all the Muppet Time segments that aired on Nickelodeon. If anyone has such a list, please let me know. Or if you only know one or two, just shout 'em out. The only one I've ever seen involved an "opera" where a couple of screaming monsters (actually...

Here's a treat for fellow fans of voice actors: http://www.npr.org/display_pages/features/feature_1460443.html

Hi, Phil! I just got the e-mail late tonight, though it was obviously intended for tomorrow (the 9th). The birthday greeting is much appreciated!

Hey, Phil! Just wanted to thank you for all the new reviews we've been seeing over the past few weeks. The reviews for the Storyteller, Ed Sullivan, and Rocky Mountain DVDs; Cindy's puzzle review; and even the VMC reviews. OK, those were actually from last year, but I hadn't seen mine up...

And thanks for all the wonderful characters you've given us over the years! (And great job on the menu, Jamie!)

Fabulous job as always, Jamie! I hope Steve sees it and is honored by it. So, you doing the Jim Henson menu tomorrow? Or was that yesterday?

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but there have been no new releases of The Muppet Show on DVD from Tri-Star Columbia. Volumes 1 and 2 were released in September, Volumes 3 and 4 were released in March. It's now September again, and I've heard nothing about Vols. 5 and 6. Yeah, at...

I know there are some animation fans here, and some VeggieTales fans in particular, so I thought you might be interested to read this: ----------------------------------- VeggieTales Creators File for Bankruptcy Bob the Tomato and friends sold to company that already has Lassie, Lone...

I'll be out of town from Thursday, Aug. 28 thru Tues., Sep. 2. So I won't be checking e-mail or responding to posts till Wednesday the 3rd. Take care, everyone! Try not to have too much fun without me. ;)

Hey, all, Anyone besides me going to Dragon*Con in Atlanta this weekend? We've got several guests from Farscape coming including Anthony Simcoe (D'Argo) and Lani Tupu (Crais, and the voice of Pilot). We've also got at least one panel discussing the cancellation of the series and our hopes for...

Why is it that when I post in a brand new thread that I'm really interested in (the Sullivan DVD thread, in this case), I DON'T get e-mail notification of new postings, yet I still get notifications about someone posting in, say, a "Left-Handedness" thread from two years ago? Even after I've...

Thought you all might find this interesting...though the well-meaning article writer gets a few things wrong, i.e. "Farscape's ratings didn't improve even after being pared with SG-1," not "Farscape's ratings were just fine till Sci-Fi bumped it from its slot with SG-1." (And that's nothing...

For those thrilled with last year's Mickey Mouse in Black and White and The Chronological Goofy (I still need to check those out), here's more good news, courtesy of Smig at TP: From www.dvdtoons.com Walt Disney Treasures Wave 3 July 11, 2003 (10:52pm) Reported by: Anthony Walt...

Hey, folks, remember a few weeks ago when I was complaining about no Looney Tunes on DVD? Well, my wishes have come true! According to Smig over at TP, there are 4 individual discs being released this fall. Just a couple of days later, Warner Bros. announced an additional two-disc set, plus a...

My set of figures are now up on eBay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3135771101&category=16485 It says "U.S. and Canadian buyers only" because I had one really bad experience with each party having to wait forever and thinking the other had bailed; and the payment system...
