    Pig Goat Banana Cricket

    Like I said before. This show absolutely embraces stupid and it's glorious. Stupid seems like it's easy, but so many cartoons attempt it, and there's a low success rate. Oh... forgot to say, the triumphant return of Armpit Willie and Psychopath Giraffe. If only they could bring back Lipstick...

    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    Trailers have a way of using music that isn't there or to try to "hip up" a film. I've noticed they have TV spots that use some ominous chanting type music that I just can't for the life of me remember the name of, but it's used a lot. Somehow that's even less fitting. I have a feeling the...

    Why haven't some older videos been re-released?

    I really feel we're overthinking the "outdated" reason. I'd say it's more about money, residuals, and of course the more important version of outdated technology...home video itself. SW has a lot of old Sesame Street available online (official or not), why spend so much on restoration and...

    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    Peanuts is basically the title for branding sake. However, that's just the American title. Strangely enough most foreign titles actually have Charlie Brown or Snoopy's name heavily featured in the title. Japan basically blows them away by calling it (wait for it) "I Love Snoopy" (or something...

    Pig Goat Banana Cricket

    I doubt very much it's the actual case, but DJ Wheelbarrow Full of Nachos somehow sounds like something from a Justin Roiland cartoon, probably even something from an Interdimensional TV episode of Rick and Morty. Especially considering he played the radio DJ who was the first to mention him...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    You know, I'm not so much worried about the animation as I am about the substance. It's absolutely typical for a long running show to go through wild fluctuations of good and poor episodes because there's less margin for originality of plot with each passing episode. This past production...

    The Chipmunks

    To be fair they don't show much, and what they do show isn't that engaging. I find they're having better success with the cartoon series than they are trying to keep the movie franchise afloat. I think the problem for me is the first one was at least brave for basically taking a "only a...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    I miss them having special programming on Fridays period. I really wish the Friday action slot was preserved better as of late. Seems anything remotely resembling an action show gets the Saturday Morning just after Adult Swim slot now. Even then, it's just Pokemon, Sonic Boom (which...

    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    Trailers usually use music that's not associated with the movie for marketing purposes. I remember back when they'd just reuse key scores from other films because they were easier to get and the film in question didn't actually have its score finished yet. There was such a habit of using the...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    While I certainly try not to be one of those people, I have some favoritism when it comes to Peter Pan adaptions. To me, the best Hooks out there were Hans Conried (and by extension, Corey Burton as his recast), Dustin Hoffman, and Tim Curry (who played him in the short lived Fox cartoon). If...

    The Gravity Falls Thread

    Off topic, but I'm wondering how Yokai Watch is going to do in the western markets, especially if it's on a hard to get channel like XD. I did overhear a jkid reacting to a trailer on a monitor at a Game Stop yesterday, so I think at least I know about one example. This gets me thinking...

    We Bare Bears

    Here's something. I was at a Kohls this weekend, and they usually have some 5 dollar book or plush assortment for charity. They have a generic animals based on some book series I've never heard of again. It includes a panda and a polar bear, but frustratingly no brown grizzly bear. OOOh...

    Any Bronies on here?

    So... I looked at the latest blind box Pony assortment. It...has...Cheese Sandwich!!!!! I HAVE to grab one of those because the Weird Al Simpsons figure barely stayed on shelves (unlike most of the others) and TFA Wreck-Gar goes for stupid prices online. But...you know, blind box. So I...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Indeed they are. Now, I don't like Open Season, regardless of the talent (wasted talent, if you ask me), and I have a weird fascination with Madagascar for some reason. I mean, I'd love to be an animation snob and turn my nose up to something like that, but the franchise it too darn likable...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    My only criticism is that they try to shove too much into an episode. The show does indeed have room for improvement, but by all means, if I'm not saying anything vehemently negative that's because the Muppets are capable of far worse. And if this is as good as it gets I'm fine with it. I...

    So...uh... They're making a Raving Rabbids Movie for some reason?

    Okay... remember how I said "whatever happened to the Ratchet and Clank movie?" I spoke too soon. Joyously so. It's slated for Next April and the trailer just popped up. But that's off subject. Glad they're not Hollywooding out too much and the likes of David Kaye are still on board as...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    My patience is wearing incredibly thin. This is how it's going to play out. I could post a long, thoughtful, passionate reasoning that the Muppet fandom is just as unstable as every other fandom out there (didn't I mention that I HATE fandoms in general?), and rationalizing no one who liked...

    The Gravity Falls Thread

    That series is a lot more clever than viewers give it credit for, specifically for that reason. Plus, the overall look and feel of the show make it exciting and peppy. You have great wacky voice actors, and a very 90's illustration looking atmosphere. P&P seems anemic. I get it's supposed to...

    So...uh... They're making a Raving Rabbids Movie for some reason?

    Headed up by the Robot Chicken creators as well Maybe it will be stop motion! First off... What the heck happened to the Ratchet and Clank movie that they swore was happening? That's a video game movie I'd like to see, and I don't even play that series (or anything made after the mid-90's for...
