    Commercial rant time...

    That's where the commercial especially confuses me. The kids are clearly too old and apparently too "internet from 5 years ago" to actually do anything with the crayons other than waste them speaking exactly like a 50 year old businessman thinks kids speak on the internet. I'm sure older kids...

    Commercial rant time...

    Okay... this has been bugging me for a while now, and I need to vent. How do I explain it? Okay, Crayola apparently thinks the best way to sell crayon based activities is by giving kids obnoxiously competitive attitudes. Now, you wouldn't think a commercial for something that carves words...

    The Oh-So-Permanent Thanksgiving Thread

    Cannibalism, it's clear to me, is a human concept. Animals in the animal kingdom kinda don't give a crap. Food is food, and it's all eat or be eaten. Certain rodents eat their own young.

    When you need to rant...

    I don't see why colorizing these things is still a thing. No one ever liked classic movies being color treated, and I don't even see the point of broadcasting these on current television prime time. There's better places to see them. If they're so desperate for Holiday programming, dust off...

    Why isn't Skeeter a Muppet?

    I choose to pretend Muppet Kids didn't exist. I mean, Muppets never has any canon, but that goes double for Muppet Kids. Why? Scooter can't read. Uhhhh.... why?! And this was written by someone who wrote a lot of Muppet based books over the years. Now, fans have problems with some...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    To be perfectly honest, while there were some moments where Fozzie was close enough for close in a couple of the post-Jim projects, things really got bad after MTI. Now, there's an excuse for MTI having him written as playing and idiot. Come MFS, he became an idiot. I'm not going through that...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    On the subject of cereal, I'm kinda disappointed they don't have the Sugar Cookie version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Cookie Crisp this year. Don't think I've seen Cap'n's Christmas Crunch, but the thing's just the same as Crunchberries anyway. Did see the Halloween one though. I dunno...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    I had problems with that one as well. And the health initiative. I find it hilarious that reading initiative (minus the Word on the Street thing that lasted for years after) and the math one were the most subdued and subtle of the initiatives...and Sesame Street has been teaching reading and...

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    Star Wars Rebels is renewed for a third season I absolutely love this series (especially Zeb and Chopper), and how it was able to get back actual voice roles from the original movies. Even Frank Oz.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I was kinda...well...screwed over for seeing TGD this weekend, so I have to wait a week. I rather like seeing these things on opening weekend, and sometimes the theaters I go to take the 3-D showings away after a week. Animation is the only medium where 3-D movies work. But yeah. It's a...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    "Everyday Heroes" seems to be the season's new initiative. Hopefully they don't go so incredibly overboard with this one like they did with the self-regulation one. They just seemed to shove those breathing exercises into any episode where it feels appropriate. They even stopped dead in the...

    Why isn't Skeeter a Muppet?

    That's something I'm not quite a fan of. Not because I find it offensive that it's clinging to the old nerd stereotype, but the fact they bring it up as much as possible. Like Seymore Skinner levels. Then again, when Scooter was first introduced into the original series, he was an inept...

    Your Thoughts: Half-hour Sesame Street begins on PBS September 1, 2014

    If that's indeed the case, it's not weird at all. I applaud SW for keeping "new" episodes in the running while it will take 9 months to see any of the actual new stories on broadcast. Besides, if all the repeat episodes are on HBO, that's kind of a ripoff. I know the HBO deal was last minute...

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    I personally gave up giving a crap what fans of film franchises think when they actually defended Superman III to attack Man of Steel. Superman III is a terrible, indefensible movie who's plot makes a sub-standard Superfriends episode look like the best of the Batman the Animated series...

    The Oh-So-Permanent Thanksgiving Thread

    Yeah, but the difference is Heffer is...well... Heffer. Even being in an actual pen with other cows intended for the slaughter can't get him to stop eating something. As for Woodstock... don't big birds eat smaller birds? At least birds of prey eat smaller ones? Is i like fish eating fish or...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    Oh, and I'm very disappointed Honda didn't continue the actually fun and funny toy based commercials from last year. Instead they went with some dull thing involving an advent calendar. And it's a shame because with a low budget movie that no one liked, it was nice to see Jem in something...

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    That makes you one of the sane ones. Some GB fans are just hammering everyone involved with death threats. That's taking things way too far. There's a difference between not liking the idea of making a new film based on something close to you, and being in such a fandom comfort zone that any...

    Nature Cat: A New PBS Series from David and Adam Rudman

    I missed the preview episode, but I've seen the short preview clips and think it has loads of potential. I love how Kate Miccuci is in more and more cartoons lately, and Bobby Moinahan (can't spell that to save my life) is one of the few actually talented people on SNL, and I love his work in...

    Old Nickelodeon

    That's a shame. The fandom desperately wants the Jungle movie. Hopefully he can find a way to incorporate some of that into the new finale movie so everyone's happy. Speaking of movies, The Splat ran "Rugrats go Wild" every day for the past week. Now, I finally caught the thing once and I...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    In another thread, I brought up another face morph cartoon from the 90's by a different animator for comparison sake. The major difference being that this one has some snappy background music to give it atmosphere. I'm sure there are those who were freaked out by that one too, but I like how...
