    How's this for a travesty of animation justice?

    On the subject of injustice... The Amazing World of Gumball has it's own Chinese knockoff. And it's not even slightly similar so much as blatantly stolen concepts down to the exact portrait of them in the background in that specific style... And yet the only merchandise I've ever seen of...

    The Creature Shop's work on the original TMNT movies was amazing

    It sounds like they're going to do both right. The prequels might as well have been completely animated. At least it would have made the humans more lively. I'd say those films have the opposite problem with most movies. It seems like the humans are pasted on and the CGI have nothing to...

    The Steven Universe thread

    And as a character even that fanbase didn't like. I agree, This series really gets to show she had talent all along. She's my personal favorite Gem.

    Muppets Most Wanted: What went wrong?

    Okay... One more: Yeah. This film was directed by someone who's magnum opus was the first Chipmunks movie. In other words, someone who probably said, "Jason. You're not off putting and angry enough as Dave." But yeah. The MFS film had all the Hallmarks of a trouble production and it was no...

    The Creature Shop's work on the original TMNT movies was amazing

    The new one at least bothered with guys in motion capture suits. I have to praise them for that. All these other CGI hybrid films have ugly characters pasted on with the actors reacting to nothing and something being off. Then there's the Star Wars prequels where the bright and cartoony CGI...

    Muppets Most Wanted: What went wrong?

    Be thankfully he didn't get to do a sequel. Muppets From Space 2: Kermit does the Taxes in Real Time.

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

    THANK YOU! All I'm saying is some members are ripping into MMW all the sudden when some of the problems they've had with that movie have always been present since the movies started back up. Maybe not with MCC and MTI which were at least written by Jerry Juhl. But certainly since MFS. At...

    The Steven Universe thread

    Like I always say, the voice actresses for the Gems all come from musical backgrounds and have amazing singing voices. They just don't get to sing enough. Wonder if Sapphire and Ruby are going to be a regular thing or if they're just far more comfortable as Garnet.

    What is up with these DISTURBING commercials, lately?

    I actually prefer those Progressive Box commercials over Flo ones. Mainly because Chris Parnell does the box's voice. Dunno who they got to voice Mr. Bag, but with the raspy, bad quality of the voice actor, the watches you while you sleep look they gave the character, and the fact the...

    What is up with these DISTURBING commercials, lately?

    I was going to post this in "Commercial Rant" thread, but I just posted there and frankly I think this thread's more inappropriate. Has anyone been afflicted by the horrible Rally's/Checkers commercials with Mr. Bag yet? And no. I don't even HAVE a Rally's or Checkers anywhere remotely near...

    SpongeBob SquarePants

    I really like how the movie used mostly the show's own production music. While the fully orchestrated original track was awesome in the first movie, I like how this was more grounded to the series. Plus, hearing those Hawaiian sounding music cues with a theater sound system really gave the...

    Commercial rant time...

    As someone that actively hates the Arthur episode "So funny, I forgot to Laugh," there's a huge difference between passive aggressiveness and bullying. Bullying can take on different forms, be they physical or mental. Passive aggressiveness isn't one of them. I agree that commercial doesn't...

    The Steven Universe thread

    MASSIVE FREAKING SPOILER!!!! Holy crappidy crap! Garnet was a fusion the entire time! And we finally get a song out of Garnet and it is glorious. You gotta love how they were going to finally reveal Sapphire and Ruby on Steven's birthday. Also great to see more of the evil gems in the...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    I really don't think one is necessary. Not as much as Wreck-it Ralph, where the film makers want to explore Fix it Felix Sr. There's a lot of potential there. And while there is a desire to do a Big Hero 6 sequel, the writers themselves don't want to rush into one. Really think they should...

    Muppets Most Wanted: What went wrong?

    I really do like MFS, but Kermit not showing concern over one of his closest friends or supporting another? I know the hack director that ruined the film wanted to focus on the Muppets doing mundane tasks over Muppet things, but Kermit seemed so much more concerned about the house not being...

    Most Obnoxious Fandoms

    I'm freaking calling it. Mega Man's fandom hands down. And the worst part is I used to have sympathy for them because Capcom really screwed them over for the the 20 year old college drop out d-bag, completely fake "hardcore gamer" market. You know. The ones that only play GTA and Call of...

    Will Disney ever focus on Bear in the Big Blue House again?

    On the plus side, at least Disney Jr. shows are no longer condescending, patronizing, and derivative. Glad to see the Dora tone of educational TV is very deservedly dying out.

    Muppets Most Wanted: What went wrong?

    So the litmus test for you is not bothering to see the difference in quality between the first 3 films and the subsequent 3 after Henson. It takes a long time to recast a character. Not as long now, since even SW thinks of the future and has understudies. The fandom rejoiced in MFS when Dr...

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

    I don't see how the rage over fart shoes is still a thing and the nose picking thing is treated as a "so what?" Fozzie's always been a bad comedian. Fart shoes sound like a pathetic attempt to get a laugh, vulgar but in character. Picking his nose and talking like a 4 year old about washing...

    Muppets Most Wanted: What went wrong?

    If that's the case, they haven't been written right for years.
