    MSNBC: Old School Sesame DVD's not for kids

    I thought this article today on MSNBC.com was pretty funny: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15105377/ It's about the old school Sesame release. Ive only seen the first episode from 1969 awhile back, and thought it was great. The article at first confused me, as I thought "what could he mean...

    What I think happened...

    2d animation with cell mapped 3d animation(ie: pretty much every 2d movie in the last 5 years) ROCKS. I LOVED Recess the movie, I LOVED Emperors New Groove. I even liked that one non Disney one from 2000 the Road To El Dorado. Of course stuff like Spirit, Brother Bear, Home on the Range and...

    Your Thoughts: The World According to Sesame Street

    Kosovo is a really complex situation, more complex than Israel/Palestine/Arab states. You have this big former Yugoslavia, where part of the government went on a genocide campaign against Muslims in the early to mid 90's. The US wanted to intervene, but then you had Croats, Macedonians, etc...

    Your Thoughts: The World According to Sesame Street

    I wasn't expecting this to be as heavy and hard hitting as it was, but as a big political documentary buff I could see why they made it that way impact wise. But wow, not sure what to say...it's crystal clear in this time of global chaos and uncertainty, the world NEEDS Sesame Street more...

    What I think happened...

    I really really liked Curious George...it looked theatrical, it didnt have that cheap straight to video "feature" were so used to. It's funny, if ONLY Madagascar had The Wild's quality ...as Madagascar to me has some of the absolute worst cgi Ive ever seen in a cgi cartoon movie. Yeah Cars...

    C'est Les Muppets Showue!

    Gosh, when was that...April or May of 1989? I forget, but I remember being 11 years old. I had been obsessed with anything Muppet related since before I can remember. I had grown up on Sesame, TMS, Fraggle Rock, Muppet Babies, the movies, the specials...but for some reason Jim Henson Hour blew...

    C'est Les Muppets Showue!

    I agree. The first half hour portion of The Jim Henson Hour IS my fave muppet show ever, and was so very edgy. I have the 13 episodes on vhs and still consider my favorite. IT's all about Digit!

    In Development: Henson's Fraggle Rock Movie

    Wow. While Disney seems to have locked the Muppets proper up and thrown away the key, its good to see two of the Muppety franchises(Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock) will be celebrating. A Fraggle Rock movie, with fraggles in the real outside world...could be the best thing since Muppets...

    Aint It Cool News Animated Statler Spoof

    Well Harry Knowles is a big Muppet/JHC "geek", he says in the new Dark Crystal 2 newspost that he's been in a very Muppety mood lately. He's always one of the first to report big Muppet news, like when MWOO was announced. And yes I agree, it's unfortunate what Disney has done with the...

    You've Got To See The Pan's Labyrinth Trailer

    It's coming to theatres in December. It reminds me a bit of not just MirrorMask, but the Cell and some really just out there avant garde stuff. Could be the most visual film of the year next to The Fountain and The Science of Sleep(which I highly reccomend) Watch the trailer, and you can see...

    What I think happened...

    Really? It would be done if it could be? No, higher ups kill even the smallest of ideas. I'm really curious to hear what the central Muppeteers, JHC employees, former Muppet builders, and even yes...Eisner, feel about the current state of the Muppets. There are so many small things they...
