    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Apparently, the Panda-ering to China worked because it set a record for largest animated film opening over there, and its modest 41 mil opening was the largest Animated film opening in January domestically. The thing that now annoys me is the previous record holder, the Nut Job, was...

    Funko to release Sesame Street toys

    While I certainly doubt there will be that many more series. Most licenses only get 2 series unless they're a subline all their own like DC Comics, Marvel, or Disney. But I'd love to see some fan favorite characters if they continue past. Maybe a Guy Smiley or so. I got Oscar for Christmas...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    They kinda always were before MIB was a thing. A peaceful race that got caught up in war somehow. The original comics and 2k3 series had them pitted in between the Federation and Triceraton wars. Only time the Utrom were wholly malevolent is in the IDW comics, where they're the ones fighting...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    So it's been revealed that the Kraang were once Utroms until Kraang Prime discovered the worm mutagen, turning him into a giant psychic hive-mind. Really digging that reveal. Also, that the "Irma" body was plagiarized from one called "Rook." And Rook was none too happy with Sub-Prime using it...

    Video: Preview Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4603

    Remember. When recasting Muppet characters, in this order: relatability availability then vocal imitation

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    I agree it doesn't look bad, just... unnecessary. It could very well be good, but I get "the New Normal" vibes from it. Remember? The in your face comedy that didn't change the hearts and minds of anyone and was full of Glee character expies (same guys behind it)? It feels way too over the...

    TV Tropes

    The Parvum Opus page has been taken down too. You know, I get the feeling this is because of internal problems with trouble members, and the mods basically have to come down on them with the old "this is why we can't have nice things" rule. I'm guessing too many edit wars were going on or some...

    Galavant "Thoughts"

    I'm impressed. Sure, they basically made lots of meta references about how they were darn lucky to be renewed at all, but it seems they learned their lesson from The Neighbors. They kept just a little of it open in case they get a surprise renewal, but other than that they wrapped everything...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    If Cracked's to be believed Chinese audiences actually hate when we pander to them, but there's no denying there's something special about Kung Fu Panda. Hilariously when the first movie came out, I remember someone on some forum complaining about how it's going to be racist and disrespectful...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    While I am still concerned that the show will be picked up or not, I'm not concerned by the fact they're ending the show mid-season. It's either that or make the hiatus longer, or the obnoxious bit where a show comes back and only 2 episodes air before the reruns start back up. I mean...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    January wasn't a good place for the movie. I have a feeling that, while it makes sense to distance itself from Star Wars in December and Zootopia in March, they planned on tying this film's release to Chinese New year since the film was pretty much tailor made for a Chinese box office market...

    When will The Muppet Show Seasons 4-5 and Muppets Tonight arrive on DVD?

    Let's not forget Lionsgate that actually released some of JHH. I'm hoping the re-releases of seasons 1-3 are a good sign. I wonder what makes them so "Special Edition." Especially since they're rereleasing Dinosaurs as well, and it's cheaper on Amazon to get the original seasons 3&4 than it...

    Sanjay an Craig: New Nick series

    I really like how they added a Junior Noodman to the mix. Seems he could be set up nicely as another antagonist or some highly conflicted character that could add more depth to the series. Having them bond over Tufflips films was a great touch, and hopefully that can set something up nicely later.

    Sesame Street Season 46 Episode 4604 - Saved by the Superfoods

    I'm hoping that season 47 shows that they've worked the kinks out of the half hour format. Stories written shorter, valid places to put letter and number skits, and just a better overall presentation. The street stories really have no flow and feel like they stop short, and I'm sure the reused...

    Netflix, do your stuff! The Magic School Bus gets new series.

    Actually, I just realized something via a Cartoon Hangover video that really has me interested in a new Magic School Bus. I'll give you the video and you can try and guess. If you said "we have a deeper understanding of sciences years after the show was produced," that's exactly what I'm...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I'd love to go on a whole thing about how crappy DIC was near the end, even though they were pretty lousy in the 90's with a few little exceptions here and there. I mean, DIC's glory days were the 1980's with shows like Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff, Mysterious Cities of Gold and like that...

    We Bare Bears

    Doesn't sound like it was that popular a series. There's a lot of these kinds of shows that have some sort of similarity to something overseas. I always wondered how Fairly Oddparents did in Japan since, at the source of the concept, it's pretty much similar to Doraemon. I mean, obnoxiously...

    Fresh Off the Boat impressions

    I can kind of see his point of view about the show, but in the end, getting arrested a lot isn't going to make a light family sitcom. And it really seems that both this series and the Goldbergs have evolved the same issue. Oh, yeah, sure it's a biographical show and all, but the main character...

    Netflix, do your stuff! The Magic School Bus gets new series.

    That makes sense. Though, clearly about 10 years are going to pass, so whatever closure would have to be done in flashback form. And they're going to have to work some convolution to write off Mellisa McCarthy's character since she's a major star now. I'm happy for the fans of this, I guess...

    Harvey Beaks: New Nick series

    I think that episode answered an important question about why the Beaks family didn't adopt them or at least give them a place to crash. They're just too different for it to work out just yet. Last night's episode was great. Instead of just making Moth the butt of the 30 something fanboy...
