    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    Paul Feig has made a statement about how much they avoided making the movie edgy and hip I really like the comment he made about how studios would force Justin Beiber in the Charlie Brown role, but they were given the opportunity to be like every other classic Peanuts special and just use...

    Regular Show Series Talkback!

    ... uh...well that certainly was special. :confused: I'm guessing after the intensity of C.J.'s freakout almost killing Margret's parents and running off, they wanted to have a lighter, wackier episode to build the tension yet remove it at the same time. This one felt like self parody. I was...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    That's just awesome right there. Eh, Arthur lives in an unstable time loop. What more can I say?

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Chicken Little doesn't deserve the hate it gets. It's not Disney's greatest film, but it's charming enough. At least it wasn't the snoozefest Dinosaur was.

    Most Unlikable Protagonists

    I liked it in a taste of his own medicine type way. It seemed much more sitcomy than some of the serious episodes, which is a plus. This one was just... off. I'm loathed to hate it for that hilarious riff on those awful The General commercials from daytime television. I think the tell tale...

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt Signed On to Star in Fraggle Rock Movie

    The problem is that sort of storyline would work far better with the Fraggles than any of the other characters that ruined it. I still fail to see why they couldn't keep the Smurfs in their own time and just have them running around New York. And yet it's the sequel everyone hated where they...

    Should Walter be a main character in place of Rowlf and Scooter?

    Exactly. Frankly, if I were that jaded, I'd say the 90's, early 00's era was more the Rizzo and Gonzo show. And to be fair, Kermit was slowly being reintegrated back into the Muppets because Jim died and Steve wasn't extremely comfortable with the character, and while I'd say he did a great...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Download only's going to kill so many retailers. Get ready to see more of those awful bootlegged merchandise stores in Malls where Gamestops used to be. Seriously. How do those stores manage to get retail space when bigger chains can't even afford to keep all their stores? Everyone knows...

    Most Unlikable Protagonists

    The problem is either you make an important statement about something or play it for laughs. You don't do both. You can't make a heartfelt episode about a guy getting arrested on statutory convictions when the same character sees a bound and gagged cheerleader in a bathroom (this was when...

    Is there an overrated/underrated Muppet production?

    If the writers and artists are to be believed, Boom's management back then was the reason the Disney license expired. Personally, I'm glad we didn't get the motion comics, because nothing was as good as reading and imagining the original Muppet performers' voices. The preview of the motion...

    Most Unlikable Protagonists

    When Family Guy tries to do a serious episode based on something they've routinely played for laughs usually yields off results, I'm adding Quagmire to the list for the episode "Quagmire's Mom." We have a character that has been lampshaded by the show itself as a rapist. And while some find...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Like I said before, you cannot understand Shark Tale without knowing of the Toy Story Black Friday reel. The one Katzenberg insisted be "edgy," only to have Woody as an overbearing monster who made horrible jokes to threaten the other toys, and the other toys being just as nasty so they're not...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    I detect just a little sarcasm in the last sentence and I agree to it. I honestly feel there are some segments that are timeless enough to get by. I just don't expect to even see them on the show no matter how hard pressed for filler material they are. Then we have things with traveling...

    The Muppet Movie: Crummy 18 minute Super 8 version

    The thing that's baffling is, they clearly could sell these things for almost 20 minutes. Taking a 22 (or so) minute Flintstones episode and pairing it down to 18 shouldn't have been to hard, and it would have yielded an easier flow. Removing the opening and closing... that's 2 minutes right...

    Your Thoughts: Funko Pop Muppets Series 1 Vinyl Figures

    The problem with Pops is that they release so darn many at once, and by the time you try and get some of them, they've been moved aside to make room for others. I wish they'd have a reserve of some to sell back stock/retired characters directly online for a longer time period as there aren't...

    Questions about anything

    They can, but only as an insult. They still can't say it in reference to slang terms to body parts. I don't mind at all, since kids have much fouler mouths anyway. South Park is sadly the closest representation of kids I've ever experienced. And that was including in my time. They were...

    We Need Another Movie

    If Disney wants to cross-promote the franchises similar to the way they handled the Phineas and Ferb crossover and make a short Muppet/Star Wars crossover, I'd be for it. Just not an entire Family Guy style parody series. I do not think the Muppets need a film that's entirely based on flat...

    Disney Villains

    Frollo is one of the darkest villains in a Disney film. He's a character of pure hate. He doesn't have a single moment of affability, unlike most Disney movie villains. There's nothing funny or likable about him on that level. Certainly not like Gaston, Hades, or even Clayton being all...
