You just pretty much nailed why I can't sit through Very Muppet Christmas in its entirety, due to being jam packed with un-necessary of the moment tv/film references(which date it pretty quickly) I definitely have faith with the Apatow gang, especially given they have both veteran Muppet...

I never thought that the Hot Dogs from Jim Henson's City Kids in the early 90's would have had such an interesting revival two decades later! First off is the new Hot Dog plush! http://twitpic.com/26w1fc There's also a number of appearances in interview form featuring the hot dog on...

Decided to try my hand at some custom outfit paint jobs. First up is "Daft Gonzo", inspired by listening to French techno funk robot band Daft Punk(seen here: http://www.musicnewsculture.com/pix/daft-punk-helmet.jpg ) Sucky camera phone pics unfortunately, but here goes: front...

Wait, you saying Beaker won't come out til Christmas of 2011? :( I was hoping he'd be released this year. I actually greatly prefer the look of Muppets in figural form with this aforementioned style(as Hallmark has been doing) than the Palisades look; but then again Im a big fan of bright and...

I want an adult muppet movie. I want an edgy Muppet movie. But when I say adult and edgy, I mean that in how I feel Up is the greatest thing Pixar has ever done. Or how 20 years after you saw a kid's movie/cartoon it hits you with how much nuanced hidden layers of socio political subtexts had...

Well, I do have that utter contempt and pure loathing for a lot of the stuff out there cloaked as "children's entertainment". I feel sick to my stomach when I see trailers for crap like the upcoming Smurfs, Yogi Bear movie, or the Garfield and Alvin movies. And unlike the Smurfs which I...

Frogboy, in the mind of the detractors, they never could have gotten what the Muppets are all about. The Muppets have always been relevant, quirky, irreverent. They are not, as some "fans" think in their minds, purely beholden of the 70's and early 80's. they are unlike any franchise in the...

Looks like they are about to start filming on the muppet movie rather soon(see very bottom of this interview) http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=68216 There were a few things about Very Muppet Christmas that I liked, chiefly the scenes that take place in the theater. Same with...

I haven't yet, I plan too soon. (not interested in the blu ray thing, so im glad they released a dvd) As much as I love 80's and early 90's Tim Burton, I just had no interest in seeing the new Alice. But there is something so visually rich and ahead of its time with the original. I happened...

I'm telling ya, Up is the best thing Pixar has ever done and even made me cry! Also, Monsters Vs Aliens, as much as I cant stand Dreamworks animation, is one of the most amazing looking, funny and amazing cgi films Ive ever seen I don't see how Disney could top Princess and the Frog. I was...

that was a massive wall of text there:) But yeah I remember getting a queasy feelings when Disney announced years ago they were going forward with their own version of Toy Story 3. After the real life massive recall of Mattel and other toys, that really woulda been awkward. I do like *some*...

If it's high quality anime I'm big into it(Akira, Ghost in the Shell 1 and 2, Cowboy Bebop the movie, etc) otherwise yeah a lot of anime seems rather disposable. Im glad Disney has released all of Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli's films on dvd, so amazing. I loved Spirited Away as it reminded me of...

Hmm, is this a plush version of The Hotdogs? http://twitpic.com/26w1fc

I think I'm probably one of the only one who not only has fond memories of FR animated, but popping the episodes in I still love em'. Heck I wish it woulda gone on for another season, and I am super grateful they decided to release these. I also like the show as it came out in 1988, one of the...

I actually see Disney going out of its way in the last year to go bold and reach a new level. Princess and the Frog, Up...and what looks to be the most visionary looking movie since the Matrix(Tron Legacy) I know I cant be the only one that sense Disney has finally decided to up the ante...

I'd have to say Bugs Life is the one Pixar film Im a bit bored with, next to Cars. While Antz had much cruder animation(actually besides Monsters Vs Aliens, most of DWA films have pretty dated and bland animation) as a huge Woody Allen fan I felt it just popped more. But the late 90's was the...

A lot of the post Lion King 2d stuff I had no interest in, until Tarzan hit. Perhaps it was the heavy anime influence, but it was really 2000 that was the magic year of 2d Disney. Both Fantasia 2000 and Emperor's New Groove wowed me so much, that I consider those some of my top favorite Disney...

Wow... http://www.mwctoys.com/sdcc2010/images/sdcc2010_hallmark_20.jpg Thanks for posting this! Now if only Disney could start making Muppet figures in that style! :)

With JHC, you really just have to...well, just remember the good times. It's like Im disappointed with Mel Gibson. Im saddened with what became of Michael Jackson in his later years. But I rather remember the good times, the golden years. I think JHC realizes that their options are very limited...

Of course. Though I know I'm not the only one fatigued on cgi. Even the people behind the new Predator sequel opted to mostly use practical effects. It's hard for the brain to be tricked into thinking cgi is "real" on screen. And most these pg/pg-13 films are just a loud blurry mess of cgi that...
