Is my only problem with streaming. The backdoor deals. At any moment your favorite show can be pulled if some other company makes a better offer or someone doesn't think someone is offering them enough. Or deals expire and no one wants to renegotiate. With the DVD's, you at least have the...

Yeah. Mort the baby lemur, voiced by Andy Richter even in cartoon series form, that has a foot fetish specifically for King Julien's feet. I actually disliked the character in the film, but he's become one of my favorites since the POM cartoon series. They used him better there. Chicken...

To be perfectly honest, TM was a modest success, a sequel was announced not too long after, but we didn't exactly see a wave of Muppet stuff after that first movie. Maybe some promotion when it hit DVD, but that was about it. Even after a period of modest success, they were all too cautious...

Brian hasn't run Henson for years. There's also that. The problem with Henson is a glaring one. I like that they're ambitious, don't get me wrong, but why must they constantly look for so many projects when they can't get a single one that isn't a CGI kid's show off the ground? Then there is...

At the risk of being vindictive and heavy handed in my hatred of this franchise, this negative review of Insurgent makes me smile... I fail to see the appeal of this franchise. I mean, distancing myself completely from the fact a certain other movie that the first one went up against was less...

On the plus side, the film was bad enough to get Dreamworks to realize how much of a low point it was, and they've improved since. More or less. Shark Tale insists upon itself. That's probably why it grates. It wants to be Shrek but with Finding Nemo and Mafia movies for some reason, and it...

I don't care what it was homaging or tributing, the pop culture-y bits were out of place and sloppily dumped in. I can forgive VMX for being Scary Movie but with Muppets and Christmas, but the overall tone of MWOZ was a dark, pseudo-edgy farce trying desperately to capture the lightning in a...

I agree to that. I would not want to see a preschool series, no matter how good they've actually become. This isn't a series, but something in the vein of Muppet Time skits on Nick Jr, only with the actual Muppets instead of weird characters they invented. If Disney were purposely pandering...

While there are those who poopoo the idea of recasting characters even now, the fact that many characters were yet to be recast lead to the necessity of creating new characters to fill in those spots. The important thing is that characters were invented to fill those gaps while MCC relied on...

I really liked Ellen and all, Dory's still a great character and everything... but it seems she's into producing terrible shows lately. She's behind the popularity (fleeting and undeserved) of those obnoxious British girls for one. But you know that awful "Repeat after Me" show on ABC with the...

The angle of the show was supposed to be a loving nod to nerdy fanboy kids, and I've never actually seen that. I saw a lame Comic Book Guy wannabe that they worship for some reason, and that was it. Other than that, I just see spastic kids being spastic and annoying everyone in universe. I do...

Stephen totally left Spongebob, too. I think Seth gets a crapload of hate because he's the only cartoonist/animator that's mainstream enough to be named outside the cartoon fan community. I also totally feel it that he'd rather do films, and the public doesn't even want him to do that because...

Yes. You are missing the point. Sorry. Now, if I have to remake my point it's that certain Muppet fans like to call out a certain project for turning the Muppets into baby fare. Be it Muppet Babies, The Muppets on Wheels type sing along videos, KSY, Classics theater, these interstitials...

Uh.... I think they just killed Donatello in the comic book. Have to wait a month to see what just happened. But Bebop and Rocksteady did what their cartoon counterparts never could do. Actually kill a Ninja Turtle. I'm sure there's some uh... comic book logic that could bring him back to...

Intermittently, yeah. But not to the same extent as Pepe. Though Carl was promoted. Like I said, I fail to see the complaint about how the newer characters are eclipsing the old ones now. MT and MTI created a lot of new characters to fill in gaps left by Jim and Richard's passing and Franks...

I wouldn't try and pretend that Sesame Street has always kinda had that problem. Maybe not in the early years, but definitely 80's and 90's. I'm glad for songs like Lonely 11 and 12 Chicks. They need more of that, they certainly do. The "which number is hidden in the pile of rocks" bit is...

I'm certain everyone here isn't familiar with 3rd Rock from the Sun. But then again, if we want to see Joseph himself interact with Muppets... I'd say he did a great job there. Disappointed by the lack of interaction in "The Lady Gaga Special with The Muppets Hastily Tacked on at the End"...

The only thing that was disappointing about P&F Star Wars was they released it just as Disney wanted out of the P&F business. So no merchandise was made (save for a keychain you get from buying the Target edition DVD). Especially since there were plush versions of Perry's appearance in the...

I sort of agree and don't. The movie is terribly dated in tone, but there are nuggets of pure Muppetiness through the film that manage to shine through. I'd say this film is the exact moment Steve was comfortable with Kermit, and he managed to have that nice balance of sweetness and...

While I tend to agree, there's also the "Jim Henson didn't personally do it himself, so it has to suck and I refuse to give it any regard and belittle anyone who doesn't agree with me because I am smarter than anyone because of how loud and negative I am." Which is just as bad, if not worse...
