    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    I agree. This is pretty good and all, but I don't think this would be that great a follow up, and I usually defend cartoon comebacks like this. As a short, however, it seems alright. If CN's so hot to get back to their core classic cartoon roots (including a new PPG series in 2 years), I don't...

    Most Unlikable Protagonists

    Everyone's too afraid to give not white guy characters any character flaw because they're afraid of letters from someone. Venus is the textbook case of screwing it up. Laird goes berserk if she's even mentioned. There was an interview I long forgot where he basically trashed the character...

    They don't call them cheapquels for nothing.

    Whatever Happened To.......

    Wolfgang was last seen 5 seasons ago on the Number Seven extravaganza episode. Of course, for just a cameo.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I don't think that movie goers would avoid the third movie because of the second in droves. Didn't IM3 make more than IM2, anyway? There is that fear that some will avoid the film as a result, but we're talking about the company that was going to make a Spider-Man 4 after the horrible...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    There's clearly not going to be a 4. Sony's clearly just making these films at this point because otherwise, they'd revert to Disney. I bet Sony desperately wants to do a re-reboot, but frankly, I think it's ridiculous to give up because the second of this series was a disappointment. Look at...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    WOW... Sony has moved Spider-Man 3 to 2018. Just WOW. I know the reaction for the last one was bad, but really... 4 years for the next one. And there was talk of abandoning it all together.

    Worst sequels

    If TV show spinoffs count as sequels, then I say Planet Sheen. It takes all the things that those who actually liked Jimmy Neutron were willing to forgive, exasperates them, and throws a random character in a scenario that any cartoon could have been easily placed in and the show would be...

    Most Unlikable Protagonists

    Way I see it, in the movie Kuzco was intentionally unlikable. What makes ENG a special film is the fact that it's a complete subversion parody of Disney movies. Making the hero a selfish, unlikable d-bag was one of those subversions. Where as the TV show basically threw away character...

    Most Unlikable Protagonists

    Yeah. The TV series basically throws out all continuity, yet keeps continuity... it is a bit confusing to see Kuzco back to his old self. Especially since he's very much changed in the DTV sequel about Kronk. The one where he appears specifically to say that this one's about Kronk, not him...

    Most Unlikable Protagonists

    I'm starting to think the movie Maleficent is actually told from her perspective in a manipulative view, like a very self-biased memoir in movie form. UGH! Venus was created by the network to add positive female role models to a show only boys would watch (as far as demographics are...

    Is Frozen overrated?

    You see... this is what I'm talking about. Overrated does NOT equal "I hated it." Personally, I'm just glad that there's a kid's movie out there that resonated with people and has an audience without having to make dated hip hop references come out of talking (real) dogs with CGI Clutch Cargo...

    Pre-Order "Muppets Most Wanted" Blu-ray available August 12

    Disney doesn't put bonus features on any of its DVD's anymore because they want to pimp out Blu-Ray. I'm totally okay with that, but I haven't bought one of their movies on DVD for some time as a result.

    Disney gets sued by a toy company over Lotso Huggin' Bear

    What makes this even more...uh... ironic, obnoxious, whatever you want to call it... why isn't Disney going after this toy company? Second one on the bottom... Yeah... that looks a little too close to Animal, if you ask me (without the eyebrows or teeth). or at least Grover, so SW needs to...

    Is Frozen overrated?

    There's a DIFFERENCE. If there's a legit complaint, there's a legit complaint. Hating something for the reason that others like it? That's petty, ridiculous, and completely immature. Unless it's something that's so popular that it purposely blots out everything else, and that's all others...

    Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles: RIP TMNT 1985-2014

    I'm worried about GOTG, due to the franchise's relative obscurity and completely offbeat enough to scare off an audience that can accept radioactive spiders giving teenagers super powers, alternate planets that somehow inspired Norsk mythology, but a talking Raccoon and a talking plant...

    Is Frozen overrated?

    Fandoms suck. All I can say there. They ruin their own thing by obsession and create their own hatebase. But the thing about dumping on something popular is this. How do we distinguish between people who hate something because it's popular and people who genuinely have a logical complain...

    Stop Being a Fool Disney: Release The Muppets at Walt Disney

    Current specials are treated like movies anyway, with the DVD release planned usually before the actual air date. They're more like telefilms that are destined for a release anyway. It's things that are much older they turn a blind eye to. It's obvious that the Music Video specials are lost...

    Is Frozen overrated?

    It may not have turned out that way, but it sure as heck was marketed like it. As I've always said, Disney gets crap for making princess movies, and then Disney gets even more crap for not making Princess movies. But this time, they tried to aggressively market the film to a male audience that...

    The Funny Videoe Thread

    (seriously?! That e at the end of videoe is mocking me) What's worse than Pac-Man for Atari? How about a Spanish commercial for it where the kids like it soooo much they dance around in a circle to an endless song? Why, they're positively hypnotized by it. What I'm saying, is they're a...
