I recall reading in a Jim Hill article from I think 2002 (one of his later articles involving the planned Henson-Disney merger) that at one point Disney considered buying the rights to Rocky and Bullwinkle after the success of the videos, but spent so much time haggling on the deal that...

I hadn't seen the air cafe one when I made my previous list, but now it is a great one. I just made a "top ten" list for The Muppet Mindset. I'll have to look at the one I made in this thread and see if there's a big difference...

I can't believe that mindset exists. Yeah, they can watch the show at home for free, but not that particular story (or they have to wait... and people will have to wait a lot longer to see it on TV than buying the DVD).

On the topic of Mario games, how come world 2 of many games is always a desert world? The desert is world 2 of Mario 2, 3, all or most of The New Super Mario Bros. games, and I think Mario 3D Land. It seems the only way world 2 isn't set in the desert is if the game doesn't have a desert world...

Was Shrek meant to be for kids and adults or just older audiences? I remember when Shrek first came out, I assumed it was for teens and up (though my younger brother saw it with me at the theater), but shortly after somebody referred to Shrek as a "kids movie", surprising me... And then it seems...

I was reading the tough pigs forum, and somebody said/speculated that the 2005 Muppet Movie DVD is out of print. I don't know if that user is right, but I have noticed lately when I go to the DVD sections of stores that I no longer see copies of the Disney-released Muppet movies (except for MCC...

One thing I thought about when it comes to whether Cleveland will come back to Family Guy or not: There's one episode of Family Guy called "Jerome is the New Black", where the gang tries to find a replacement for Cleveland, and they end up finding a black guy named Jerome. The episode doesn't...

I never did (assuming you're referring to the post about teachers living at school). Back when I was a kid I thought 100 dollars was a lot of money. I'm sure most kids do/did, but I remember the first time I had 100 dollars, and then I spent enough money to have less than 100 dollars (I...

What's the deal with the third "New Super Mario Bros." game being "The New Super Mario Bros. 2", while the other sequels just use the system titles ("New Super Mario Bros. Wii" and "New Super Mario Bros. U")? I haven't played The New Super Mario bros. U, but all three games all feel like the...

I used to think that dead people could still pee and poop. I remember worrying about them being dressed in their coffins, wondering what would happen if they did so in their pants, since they couldn't get up and go to the restroom. Yesterday i was thinking about something that I used to...

According to Street Gang Disney was going to have him sign a ten-year contract for his services to the company, and allowed to work on Sesame Street for only two weeks a year.

The Muppets on The Merv Griffin Show:

Well the threads are kinda similar, and this thread is titled "questions about anything", not "questions about anything except questions that would belong in the What's the Deal? thread". And sometimes it can be hard to determine which thread a question is better suited for. And they're not the...

I kinda want an answer to some of the questions I ask there. Though an answer is not always important there.

One problem I have with the cover (and this same thing applies to the classic poster as well) is that the studebaker appears to have no roof. I know it's so more characters can fit, but in the movie, the studebaker had a roof, and at no time in the movie did we see the roof come off. Maybe it...

I hope this has more than just the Frog-a-oke feature. What is the appear of including sing-along clips as bonus features? Can't they just turn on the subtitles and use the chapter stops (or, if watching on a computer, just keep hitting the mouse on the time thing until you're where you want to...

How come the Walt Disney anthology series had many title changes over the years? From Disneyland to The Wonderful World of Color to The Magical World of Disney and even simply titled Walt Disney at one point. Couldn't it have just kept its title for its entire run? I can see maybe justifying...

One of my many planned April Fools threads for this year was for an announcement of a video game called "Muppets in the Labyrinth", which would have had Kermit going into the labyrinth to save his friends (similar to Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion having Mickey saving various Disney characters...

Back in 1955, Warner Bros. sold its black and white Looney Tunes shorts (only to get the rights back in the 1960s), and during this time, the Warner bros. opening and closings were replaced with new opening and closing logo sequences, as well as editing any instance of the WB logo appearing...

Hey Arnold was a great show. That, The Angry Beavers, and Catdog are the last really great Nicktoons.
