Good news for Guardians fans... The film was the biggest success of the summer.(domestically) Not only that, but in its 4th week, it managed to reclaim the number one spot, which TMNT had for the past 2. That really speaks volumes about the other films this month. I didn't think there was...

Valuable Lessons are what killed Saturday Mornings. Now we have nothing but lessons.

That's the funny thing. The guy had no accent. Well, not a huge discernible one outside of vaguely New England coastal/Vermont. Seems as if he chose an archaic or strangely rural (or both) term.

Cookie Monster's challenge appeared days before Kermit's, actually. Cookie did it first. MarshalGrover, BTW, is our very own Oscarfan, not the Muppet character.

Seems like the gems all bring something specific when they merge. Garnet is strength, Pearl is balance and grace, Amethyst seems to exhibit a some sort of strong will and deviousness. So, I'd guess that Pearl/Garnet would be gracefully strong? Anyway, actually found a copy of the comic book...

Actually thought that was Garnet's voice actress doing an impersonation of Amethyst. I really hope to see Garnet and Pearl fuse in a future episode. Sugillate being a force of unbridled destruction, and an actual danger to both Garnet and Amethyst while in fusion mode seems like a great...

I learn that even the worst cartoons and shows out there have a fanbase for some reason. And they are such apologists. Any actual awful show has a "Complaining about Shows You Don't Watch" tag on it.

I was once at a convention panel about subversive jokes in animation and the host said something that was absolutely brilliant. Something to the extent of "You 90's kids don't know how lucky you have it." Cartoons have been steadily getting better since that era, mainly because of the crappy...

Personally, I was fifty fifty about the whole thing until I found out one of my favorite cartoon writers was doing the script. And Ron Pearlman, as I said. I bet this film is going to stick in Pixar's Craw, since they also wanted to make a Dia de los Muertos film for some time. Just that I...

Oh, sure... those shows were better. But virtually anything is, and saying those shows were better is like saying it's better to get hit in the stomach with a baseball than to get hit in the face with a bowling ball. I mean, Horseland? It's like if My Little Pony (any version, actually) had a...

I'm just glad the era of loud, slow talking faux-interactive, Dora knockoffs are ending. I'm seeing better and better preschool set shows all the time. Maybe the Dora mode has finally been discredited?

Which ruins a gag at the end of the second film with ignorance to the original series. only saw the second, so I'm not sure if they reference the old show in any way in that one. But that's adaption displacement for you. Turtles and Smurfs will always be cartoons only, the land of Oz is only...

a bunch of comic book artists, writers, and those who actually played comic book characters in movies have taken it. But I'm only posting it here because of another (if vague) connection to Henson/Muppets... Frequent Muppet related comic book cover artist David Peterson is among those.

I didn't catch the title, but I managed to catch one of the weird Chuck Jones Era Tom and Jerry clip cartoons (even though he didn't actually direct this one). And I have to admit, I felt it was strange and pointless until the ending. Backtracking, it begins with oddly used and interspersed...

The more I think about Dragons, the more I hope they fired the butthead who said they should totally reveal the mother in the trailers. Maybe if there was still some of that mystery, more people would have seen it in theaters. The lost mother angle must've scared away too hip for tropes types...

Plus, they'd have to be nominated, and Henson would have to have one of those Fraggle Puppeteers on call. But it would be great to have the Muppet trifecta. It's a shame that they aren't making any more "Doof's Daily Dirt" web shorts anymore. I'd LOVE to see Dr. Doofenshmirtz take it, albiet...

[slams hand down on table] THAT'S IT! :electric: I just realized what Disney should do with the Muppets. I flipped through the channels and found a Cars short cartoon on Disney channel inbetween two of their shows. They also have those Mickey Mouse shorts, as well as a pre-show series of...

Boxtrolls is going to be epic. The only other trailer besides the teaser I've seen shows only a fleeting semblance to the movie's plot. It's great to see that we're still seeing Stop Motion films being made when the last bunch didn't make that much over here (bad timing killed that awesome...

Betchya we're going to see a sequel to it, regardless. Step Up 5, same deal? Or did someone actually find the unironic use of weird anime tropes that don't go together appealing? Anyway, obviously looking forward to Box Trolls. Hopefully it gets a wider audience than Paranorman did...

So, like... was there ever a reason to worry about Into the Storm? Did it actually make any money? Seems like it disappeared the second it hit theaters. Funnier still, the TV Tropes link in the "Films of the 10's" entry links to a film about Winston Churchill. Yep. Not even a member of the...
