I believe they planned a spinoff Penguins movie since the second Madagascar just ended production. While I sort of agree about the over saturation, it didn't exactly hurt Puss in Boots's box office take being part of Shrek's HUGE media blitz, which strangely enough didn't include a cartoon...

It's strange that they'd have a non-standard puppet designs that late in the game. Season 2 always looked like a sharp improvement over the first one in terms of puppet design. By season 4 everything had that unmistakable Sesame Street look. I really do like how they were still able to...

It's much weaker than it used to be. And it's pretty much an all or nothing weekend because the weeks after that right up until Christmas when even more movies come out aren't exactly summer release strong. Look at Penguins of Madagascar. It made money overseas, but that film's "failure" at...

The weird bit outside of government agencies (that couldn't be slower in taking an enemy flag down) is that there's a great wave of self regulation here. No one is banning the flag for sale outright (which they shouldn't), but corporations are intentionally stepping up and taking it out of...

I appreciate the creepy monster thing though it was clearly abandoned earlier than that. Cookie and Grover became staples early on in the series, and while creepier, meaner monsters were still about, they were slowly phased out in favor of gruff but lovable types like Herry and Harvey. Heck...

Not exactly first season, but I noticed the wiki has this photo from a rare early season episode. I'm fascinated by how nonstandard this character's design is. It hardly looks like anything Sesame Streetish at all. A holdout from Great Santa Claus Switch or a later Ed Sullivan skit. But...

I have to admit, I'm getting less and less excited about Good Dinosaur. Not to the point where I have no enthusiasm for it, but these troubled productions can go either way. They replaced everything down to the voice cast. That's a gamble that may just not pay off. There's no one in the new...

You don't get my point, and frankly it's that part of the debate I don't care much for. Know what else was a part of history? Us being a colony of Britain. Why aren't there any British flags flying over American government buildings? Hmmm... That's right. They aren't the American...

Considering other vanity projects from other actors, it was far from the worst case of that. I'll agree that putting himself as a main actor not as a voice actor was kinda a mistake, but the rest of the movie makes up for that. Maybe he should have had someone act in his stead, but overall I...

Two rants here. Whatever case anyone can make about the Confederate Flag, be it a racist symbol or a symbol of Southern Pride, how come NO ONE is willing to mention the obvious. It's an UnAmerican symbol of treason. In the whole debate about it being a historic symbol, why isn't anyone...

They're going to sell protector boxes for the boxed figures. No kidding. I'm very careful with my figures. I know that Bullwinkle's antlers could break off at any moment (the bobblehead sure did after falling from not too much of a height). Don't trust Vegita's scouter too much, and I'm in...

Don't need a list, but yeah. There's few of them. Barney did strangely have some adult retro clothing, but I'm guessing out of the ones who grew up with him, more of them were less than nostalgic about it. Great appreciation for Mr. Rogers' company/estate/whatever for burn on demand DVD's...

The lyrics are intentionally goofy and redundant. I guess that's supposed to be silly. First season weirdness is an understatement. This seems like it was supposed to be a series of skits or something, and the only singing part of the actual song is wrap-around for the "too dumb to live"...

Really good Goomba from Mario Bros deconstruction here:

Supposedly new episodes are going to start. In the meantime, a new web-exclusive series of Puppet Grunkle Stan interviewing XD stars.

That wasn't quite what I expected, but Gumball's spiral into madness (and it's start in "The Society") is pretty grim for a kid's show. I'm guessing the rewrites ad to do something with the ending And now that I think about it, that is pretty dark comedy and an esoteric happy ending. Heck...

I didn't even get a chance to see it yet. And considering Minions opens this week and Ant-Man the next, I might just barely get to it if anything. So that's my excuse. Too many of these movies coming out at once is the problem, I think. Then again, comedy movies don't need sequels. And when...

Already said that like a million times now. But yeah. Any other preschool programming give that much care and effort for their older, nostalgic fans? I don't think so.

Was kinda hoping for more Clarence then more Steven, but I'm not going to look that gift horse in the mouth.

The "new" (read held completely over for gimmicky reasons) episodes are set to air this week. The plus side of having to wait almost 5 months longer than the rest of the world is that were' getting the season 4 opener before anyone else on Friday. Looks like they're continuing the plot thread...
