Well, I saw Mr. Peabody and Sherman today. It was a great movie. I had read that a photo of Bullwinkle appears in the background, but I didn't catch it. I assume it's in an early scene where we see several pictures on the wall, there were too many for me to get a good look at them all fast...

I was at Toys R Us today, and it seems there are Mario playsets like the ones in my previous wishlists, only they don't seem to be inspired by any speciffic games. In some ways they are bigger than what I had in mind, and in other ways they are smaller than what I had in mind (no backdrops, for...

After many years of not being available on home video due to rights issues, both The Wonder Years and the original Batman series are getting complete series sets this year. Considering the long wait (and the fact that every episode of The Wonder Years can be viewed on Netflix), why release the...

Okay, a better Mario line-up: Series based on each game, with multi-character boxed sets and mini-playsets: Cardboard backdrops representing certain levels, floating bricks, ? blocks (or already-hit ones), and coins that can easily be placed onto the backdrops, and a plastic ground/platform...

It's been a long time since I last saw the movie, but in Charlotte's Web, is the girl aware that her uncle is keeping Wilbur to cook him as bacon? She had kept Wilbur as a pet for some time, and when her father needed to sell or get rid of the pig, he decided to give it to his brother, so the...

And, according to the Junior Novel, didn't Miss Piggy leave the Muppets first in The Muppets, which is what led to the Muppets all splitting up in the first place? People wonder who did the translating for The Swedish Chef. It sounds like Ricky Gervais to me. Though the booklet only refers...

Part of me wonders if the next Muppet movie should be them doing a show again or not. The Muppets are great when they do a show (and it provides a great way to incorporate so many fan favorite characters), but maybe the next movie shouldn't feature another version of The Muppet Show theme, or...

It's often said that The Muppet Movie was a huge risk because there hadn't been a movie like that before. I assume they meant there hadn't been a puppet movie like that before (I know there was an H.R. Puffenstuff movie, but is that counted more as a puppet show or a walk-around costumes show?)...

In 13 Going on 30, the main character stops being friends with her best friend right before magically turning 30, and shortly after being in her 30-year-old life, seeks him out and is surprised that she stopped talking to him since. But her memory skipped all those years, shouldn't she have...

Super Mario Bros. Series 1: Mario with hat, mushroom, and pipe. Luigi with hat, poison musroom, and Koopa Troopa Bowser with drawl bridge and ax. Bowser Jr. with Dry Bones and Thwomp. Series 2: Toad with Goomba, 1-up musroom, and mini-mushroom Peach with crown and floating bricks/coin...

I recall there being a thread about this a long time ago, back in 2002-ish.

One thing about Brett McKenzie's tracks is that it's easier to understand certain parts of songs that were hard to understand (I know, I could have just read the lyrics...). It's weird how in Something So Right that other characters also wonder why something so right feels so wrong. I...

Doug Series 1: Doug Funnie with Porkchop and journal Patti Mayonaise with Beet Ball and Beet Ball Rack Mr. Dink with some "very expensive" gadgets Mrs. Dink Series 2 Skeeter Valentine with Dale and "Beets" album Roger Klotz with Stinky Mr. Bones with desk and yodeling trophy Willy White...

Did you ask him anything else about the book (no, I'm not asking what)?

Darkwing Duck Series 1: Darkwing Duck with hat, cape, gas gun, and newspaper with headline "Darkwing Duck Saves The Day". Launchpad McQuack with hat, scarf, and gun. Negaduck with hat, cape, guns, chainsaw, and bomb. Quackerjack with Mr. Banana Brain and false teeth. Series 2: Gosylin...

The Muppet Mindset posted part 1 of a two-part interview with Craig Shemin today, and he revealed that the book was originally going to be marketed towards kids as opposed to all fan demographics. If it were just going to be for the kids, I wonder how many characters would have been included. I...

Rocky and Bullwinkle Series 1: Rocky with pool of water. Bullwinkle with pile of box tops, banana, mattress of money, and Ruby Yact. Boris Badenov with hat, gas gun, and bomb. Natasha Fatale with cigarette holder, switch blade nail file, and sticks of dynamite. Repaint Variant: Natasha Fatale...

I noticed that the end credits for Muppets Most Wanted had a "puppets by Jim Henson's Creature Shop" (in addition to credits for Puppet Heap and the Muppet Workshop... In fact I think the Muppet Workshop got a credit in The Muppets as well, and I feel like I'd already brought this up a few years...

Yeah, that Monsters University short was great, especially the ending.

One thing I thought of: The winner gets to work for Jim Henson's Creature Shop, yet in the past decade it's been hard for the company to get any non-CG projects made. Hopefully the company will be able to provide a project for the winner to work on. In the past few years has the creature shop...
