I really see a lot coming out of Zootopia. They have the standard movie in theaters merchandise now, but even when Frozen first came out it had actually less merchandise than it would after it became the massive hit it did. Which makes sense. Disney has been burned by merchandising of flop...

Yeah. The end result was certainly not that primitive, but it wasn't the best looking thing out there. A step up from Jimmy Neutron made years before. Also, I noticed they wanted a holiday release when I saw the movie come out 2006 summer instead. Hopefully to look better than what was in...

I'd say the problem is Dreamworks's trying too hard not to be Pixar, yet also trying to keep it's identity when everyone and their mother has a CGI movie animation studio. Trolls was Dreamworks trying to go after that sweet sweet Alvin and the Chipmunks, Smurfs money and we almost had another...

Here's something hilarious I found online. The teaser trailer for the movie "Barnyard." With obviously incomplete animation, but it's just so...ugh that it looks like something that would belong here. Unfortunately it's of the "no capture card, recorded off a television" Youtube variety, but...

Openings are one thing, but endurance is also key. Zootopia has had some great endurance, and that's due partially to the lack of competition (unless kids really want to see Superman V Batman). While I applaud what Frozen did as far as breaking the formulaic Disney princess movies, Disney's...

Seems Zootopia passed the 800 mil world wide mark and it hasn't even opened in all territories yet. It's at least the second or third most successful Disney movie (if you count The Lion King's 3-D rerelease). Here's hoping it surpasses Frozen or comes really really close. If only for the...

The Dreamworks Trolls movie sounds like a Fox's Dragon Ball Evolution situation. As in, they bought the rights to a movie and had to fart one out before the license expired. At least, that's what I came to the conclusion of why DBE happened, as they bought the rights at the start of the 1990's...

Okay, I found out Trollhunters has nothing to do with the upcoming Trolls movie. It was a series that was to be a movie by Guillermo Del Toro that somehow got passed over. So yay that it found life as a cartoon series, but BOOO that Trolls is a movie and Trollhunters isn't.

Technically, they're both. You remove the helmet/hair/mask and the head's on the other side. Actually, even Shaggy is two faced (at least in the Mummy set that I have) and has one happy expression and a horrified one.

This one somehow passed me buy, but here's the first Lego Scooby-Doo DTV movie. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it comes with a free minifigure the way the Lego DC movies usually come with.

Ah, everyone had it in for those characters back in the day. Sure, I hated them too, but it took me years to realize some of it was tongue in cheek. The Tinky Winky stuff was actually there and put in smugly by the British production team as a gag, clearly. I have an odd appreciation for the...

Electric Mayhem and Major Lazer?! I'd be all over that. Great to see that the band can promote and even guest at a music festival. Zoot's strangely absent.

Okay. That was pretty much exactly like an episode of the original show. I mean, substance wise it was like the Lou Gubrious episode, but...actually really good. More PPG-ish than an actual PPG episode. Though I have to admit, I was really hoping that considering how he sounded that Allegro...

Back when me and my cousin were kids, he had some Marvel Comics character action figure that came with a backpack with a speaking mechanism (because putting the speaker in the toy was somehow unfeasible that early in the 90's) that was supposed to say "Take your best shot!" Came out more like...

It's obvious they're pulling the episode cap stunt again. Disney feels they have enough episodes (a cheapness move more than anything) and that they can just quietly end the show and rerun it during the day. It's not even about ratings, just being cheap. They really should have tried to...

Here's another Japanese Peanuts Cereal ad. Now they have a very awkwardly English song in there too. And it looks just like the same animation from Peanuts specials around that time. Looking at some other Peanuts Japanese ads, still looks like they used Melendez for most of them.

I know there's no way this could be true, but it really seems that Charles Schulz saw the Flintstones ads I mentioned and was horrified that they'd be that off model and do 1980's anime wild takes. Seems more like when the licensed out the cereal either the cereal company wanted that authentic...

That seems to be the infuriating new trend. I mean, it's one thing to say "we're planning to end the series" to our faces. If they said "this will be the last season in production," that's one thing. The writers could have wrapped things up and given us a nice send off. And frankly, I...

Speedy is beloved for being the anti-stereotype. And most of his cartoons are really good. I'm of course counting the Daffy vs Speedy as the not good cartoons. Who'd have thought two of my favorite Looney Tunes characters would make such awful cartoons? That, being a rant for another day...

How come every time CN does something decent, they have to do at least 3 or 4 things to take that back? That said, I'm a little mixed about this. I'd hate to see the characters go, but the way CN is handling this, it's going to be at least another 2 seasons of produced shows. And the way they...
