I agree. I see what they're going for, but they should split the difference. Have them appear as real for promotional appearances, but don't completely disavow the behind the scenes stuff for behind the scenes special features and such. Sesame Workshop has no qualms about saying "these guys...

Even though the parody is of a cover, I'm still counting this as well.

I see what you mean, but I think there is a real good point made. It would be pretty lousy of them not to dedicate the film to Jerry and Jane (it's a little late for John... the film's due out next month). Now, I don't think they'd be that obtuse not to do that, and there would definitely be a...

Yep. No one did. But it's those who want to make it hard because they're afraid they'll lose a tiny amount of power that they act like the ill behaved kid at a toy store throwing a tantrum that they didn't get enough Pokemons or whatever. Not that they didn't get what they wanted, but that...

I seem to recall Mulan having a mother. She just wasn't important to the story. But for an otherwise comedy cartoon, Drake/Darkwing's impeccably competent and highly loving fathering brings a great depth and heart. I love the moments when otherwise goofy characters have a heartfelt burst of...

It's downright disgusting that "religious freedom" got mutated into "freedom to persecute others in the name of religion." Separation of Church and state means that the law of the land trumps the laws of Fundamentalism, and that prevents us from being a creepy religious Autocracy like the ones...

My only gripe about Disney's handling of the Muppets, minus the reluctance of releasing DVD's that aren't movies (that encompasses everything owned by Disney) it's their odd lack of faith in Muppet Merchandise, when it always seems to disappear from store shelves and their online stores. I get...

I think we're also forgetting these fine Liverpudlian chaps...

Which I'd love to believe, but it sounds like they will indeed get re-elected as they're taking the same lame "Pink Scare" wedge issues that appeal to those who are easily emotionally manipulated. Because that's what it's all about. Getting re-elected by scaring people. On that subject, I...

Agreed. Why use an unfinished high concept film that even Jim and Co didn't bother following up on instead of a stronger, more coherent idea? We are never going to get Muppets Cheapest Movie. And if we did, I'm sure we wouldn't like the end result. It just doesn't carry for 90 minutes, and...

The less said about the PTC, the better. They're nothing but a bunch of religious zealots that want to keep dated 1950's values (the bad ones) indoctrinated into future generations, who would otherwise stop caring like the rest of humanity. I also really hate left leaning parental groups as...

More time is especially what the special needed. I still feel that this was a Lady Gaga concert special with the Muppets added in last minute. One to promote an album, the other to promote a movie. There should have been more interaction and better interaction. Not just between the Muppets...

I get what you're saying. They're pestering, harassment, and then there's when they manage to get the entire school to spam you with so much hateful intent that it's almost impossible to get through the day let alone ignore them. And ignoring them only goes so far. They'll keep doing it no...

Hey... what was that estimate of what the Lego movie would make over the three day weekend? Like 40 Mil? They made 50 mil on the two day. This film is exceeding expectations. They were right to plan a sequel before it was even released. I kinda just don't know how they'd do it given...

Yeah. You know what? I take it back. It certainly could be done if they really got the humor of the last movie. There are writers that are completely simpatico with the source material and those who think they got it, but really don't. I've seen both kinds.

That was a wild episode. It's as I've been saying, sure... Teen Titans Go is admittedly enjoyable as long as you throw enough "ifs" in there... but Nick's TMNT is the true spiritual successor to Teen Titans. And not just because Mikey's the same VA as beast Boy. The visuals of this episode...

We have to face one thing. There are characters who's likenesses don't translate into plush that well, and Piggy is one of them. That's not to say there weren't good plushes here and there (and I refuse to acknowledge plastic heads. They're not true plush), but overall, they don't look like...

Exactly the point I was trying to make. The Cupcake figures (not holders, figures for some reason shaped like Cupcakes) just didn't seem to move. They were intended for a female collector, going for Disney princesses and Fairies and MLP:FIM licenses. Suffice to say, the Muppet ones were...

I don't think that's the problem at all. In fact, not only are there a lot of well written, smart skits... they're actually quite biting too. The Spider-Monster skit alone has a level of snarky take that-iness that's almost out of character (in a good way). The real problem is this: Sesame...

That would all be nice and amazing, and I'd love it... but here's the thing about American cartoons. They're absolutely allergic to closure. Captain N never defeated Mother Brain and went home, the Kidd Video Kids are still stuck in wherever the heck they're in (didn't see enough episodes)...
