    The Mouse is Wooing Miss Piggy

    I've got it the Roger shorts in a box around here somewhere. I wondered why that release was yanked away so quickly. I thought the Jessica debate was with the feature and not the shortsm though. Disney and Spielberg really had a terrible relationship and that's why I thought the tape was axed...

    The Mouse is Wooing Miss Piggy

    I can't find any director's info on American Tail 2 for the life of me. I guess no one found it worthy to write up the film credits online. :( Who I am thinking of is Rob Minkof (sp). I could be wrong though.

    The Mouse is Wooing Miss Piggy

    I think American Tail 2 was directed by the same guy responsible for some of the Roger Rabbit short cartoons.

    Why Disney? Or Episode One: The Phantom Mouse

    Speilberg is one of the three partners of Dreamworks and I believe he still has a stake in Amblin, but it is seperate from Dreamworks. From what I've gleaned, no new projects come from Amblin. It's just the label that he used before teaming up with Geffen and Katzenberg. However, Amblin was in...

    Latest Newswire Update on Henson Co.

    The show will likely still go on and I hope that it would have the full support of Disney. They do have media on channels other than their own It depends on the contract I think, but I assume the credits at the end would reflect both Henson and Disney. I know many people have the assumtion that...

    Why Disney? Or Episode One: The Phantom Mouse

    Bean To DreamWorks’ credit they do have a sizeable film and animation division. I just think they're too new for the Muppets. They haven't had enough time to really prove themselves as a company. They don't have a theme park either and after the lackluster results of Spirit (that I saw coming...

    Why Disney? Or Episode One: The Phantom Mouse

    I have never been or will ever be much of a Disney supporter for anything, but... The allegations of Disney being a big corporation that exploits its characters for profit is true - but so do all other companies of its financial stature so that can not be the criteria to judge the sale. And...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Beaker I have added the percentages to help the list's accruacy, but all this information is in this very thread. Everything's tentative and I can't stress that enough, but many of your questions should have been answered a couple pages back. To glean this type of info I tend to look for Ken's...

    Crank Yankers

    Paint dry...that's about the excitement of Battle Bots in my opinion. LOL! Maybe it would be more interesting live, but I still don't see it. I respect SNL, but since it has been exploited by Com Central I can't bear watching more than a couple minutes of it. Fox's Mad TV is another story...

    The Mouse is Wooing Miss Piggy

    Hmm. I guess I'm just really picky about animated projects. Cats did have some good animation, though. I just didn't like much else. I did enjoy Rover Dangerfield, A good little non-Disney film. That scene with the dead turkey totally cracks me up!

    Crank Yankers

    I only watch South Park, Ab Fab (when they have new eps) and the Daily Show (sometimes). I also miss Dr. Katz and the Tick cartoon. Who makes these decisions and do people really watch Battle Bots? An honest question because I honestly don't see it's appeal. I with they'd bring back MST2K, but...

    Crank Yankers

    I just find it humorous that these guys hold themselves up as specimens of manhood. LOL! The'd all get their butts kicked from half of the girls I know and they have little charisma. Kimmel is a moderately good comedic tallent, but not really my fave. But what do you expect from a network that...

    Latest Newswire Update on Henson Co.

    Fox is already planning a Muppets series next Spring aside from any sale.

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    It has been reported that the theater playset will be released Summer 2003 along with wave 6, but kind of seperately from it because that series will already have a playest. Ken has confirmed waves 1-5, 6 and 7 are still up in the air. It's all still tentative I guess. Oh, and the backstage set...

    Shame on IGN, Muppet Pinball Mayhem rocks!

    That guy went too far critiquing the Muppets IMHO. He should just stick to the game. He said they just didn't do it for him, but he didn't say why. Oh, well. There are those who create and those who critique. :)

    Crank Yankers

    Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz I didn't see the alien cow clip, but I did see 15 minutes of the show and a couple clips from the website and was amazingly underwhelmed. I did enjoy the prematurely axed Greg the Bunny, but I see absolutely no wit or charm in this Crank snorefest. Guess it's just not my...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    I'm thinking that Rizzo will likely look like he does now seeing how Henson's regulations are reguarding Miss Piggy's look etc. But I hope the variant reflects the show version at least. I'd love to have both versions and the little guy does look a lot better now.

    The Mouse is Wooing Miss Piggy

    Zach The original All Dogs impressed me very much. The trailers seemed iffy to me at the time, but it proved Bluth's talent in creating an Animated Feature on par with Disney and it also his best film since The Secret of Nimh. He has done little I enjoyed since then, though Titan AE was...

    The Mouse is Wooing Miss Piggy

    It seems to me that all charm and subtlely is lost on much of today's audence - or at least those in charge of programming. I'm still extremely peaved with what WB did with Space Jam. They didn't even consult Chuck Jones. I think that has to be one of the biggest disappointments in animation. I...
