While Nickelodeon has always been a mixed kid's programming channel, I hate how they push the kidcoms and quietly try to sabotage their animated programming. I don't see why their cartoons don't even get a weekly slot, be they new episodes or reruns. I'm glad Alvin was a hit enough for them to...

I'll admit, it's not Norm of the North bad, but just unnecessary to release to theaters. Kudos for Belgium or France or whatever for making some cartoon movie of their own, but I know they can probably do better. But seriously. We don't get Asterix and the Vikings even though it had US voice...

Doesn't even seem to have any American celebrity voice actors in those roles either. Though I can't say if that's a positive or negative. Trying to remove the fact that that trailer is the most trailery trailer I've ever seen, I can't really see this being decent, let alone good. Even with...

UGH. Saw the poster for this one after seeing Ratchet and Clank. Now, I'll admit it looks good. It's not some visually unappealing piece of junk, I'll give it that. And this is one of those European deals dubbed for the US, so maybe the original one is good. But first...tell me that isn't...

I'll admit season 5 is iffy, six had like one or two good episodes here and there. Dance Pants really didn't offend me until they started temper tantrumming. I can take an occasional stylistic out of characterish moment for the sake of plot. I forgive a lot of things. And I get it. The...

Speaking of The Simpsons... This is a YMMV type deal. Either this comes by as an unintended, nonsensical masterpiece of Dadaist comedy or creepy. Obviously you know the one I think it is. But let us take a look at Japan's Simpsons fandom. Now for the more obvious ironic internet humor...

I'm going to address some of these since some of them seem like fanboy nitpicks rather than issues. Not that their aren't a couple nuggets here and there. Considering the Mayor has reduced screentime, I don't see that as an issue. That's the same stylistic reason Binky the Clown doesn't appear...

I have a feeling that deep down R&C is going to be the better animated video game movie than Angry Birds, but AB will likely make a lot more money. Video Game movies are a very low bar anyway, so basically having the same characters, writers, voice actors, and general plot are already makes...

2 Weeks after Jungle Book is one thing, but let's not forget that it's also one week until Civil War. A movie that made just shy of 100 Mil in its weekend international pre-release. There's no way this wasn't going to get lost in the shuffle eventually. It's probably just a movie for fans of...

Those were announced to air as in between the shows shorts back in November (HEY! When the movie came out) sort of like repurposed Looney Tunes Show songs and Wile E. Coyote segments, the Mixels, and now DC Super Hero Girls. Then months of nothing until they decided to show it in show length...

I was going to be all like, eeehhhhhh I'm glad I don't have HBO this week. While far from the worst of the Nature Guessing Game episodes from season 40, Chris carried this one. If he didn't get so flustered, it wouldn't have been remotely memorable. But seeing as there was a new Smart Cookies...

Ah those 1990's "Disney Comics." They certainly weren't put together to last. Every comic I had from that self printing company, the cover split at the seams and fell right off, no matter how pristine I kept them. Even find some in the comic shop about to split. They really had no foresight...

Ratchet and Clank is essentially a DTV shown on the big screen. I wouldn't doubt it's getting bad reviews because it's written like a cartoon series and not a movie. It's the reason we don't get more 90 minute episodes on the big screen. They rarely get good reviews because they're still...

I believe Blackish said the most poignant thing they could about him without making him out to be a jokes. He did stand for something and when the allegations came out, it was devastating. Little Bill doesn't deserve it either for one simple reason. It wasn't one of those Nick Jr. Shows from...

Gotta admit I'm kinda disappointed that they're doing the 2 specials thing they did last year. Mixopolis really lends itself to at least a series of shorts. While my favorite of the specials is the Mixamajig one, I really like how Moon Madness turned out. 3 Tribes each introduced with each...

I honestly think Disney will keep both up at the same time. Mickey's cartoon shorts aren't that much more grown up than a preschool series (at least comparing it to Muppet Moments and The Muppets). I really hope Mickey Racing can become a great racing series right up there with Speed Racer and...

So far, Sesame Street has picked up 3 Sound Mixing Awards at the technical Emmys. Still in a nice little ghetto away from the actual awards even though the main one won't be broadcast. Makes sense. Wouldn't want Judge Judy to have to sit through that long an awards show. She has a busy job...

Right? We've seen him as The Masked Marvel, the WW 1 Flying Ace, Joe Cool, various sports heroes including a very volatile tennis player, and a vulture among others. Never once did I see a series of strips where he owned a modest Ice Cream truck business. Monty from Robotman and Monty, sure...

I need to catch up on this series as I'm way behind. I've enjoyed all of it that I watched, and the merchandising does look pretty tempting. But I agree. Preschool programming took a complete 180, especially on Disney's end, when everyone stopped trying to copy Dora and Blue's Clues. I mean...

Fox was more of a distribution partnership than a full fledged buyout. They didn't really own their movies (as per my understanding) unlike when Disney and Pixar were first together. And we all know what would have happened there had Disney not bought them up. Circle freakin' Seven. I'd love...
