    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    Actually, no. The first Smurf movie was a surprise hit (being the only kid friendly movie released at the time), and it actually killed in Europe, where the Asterix movies (the live action ones, that is) are actually considered worse. So they didn't have the problem of us screwing with the...

    First look at the newest Sonic series

    From what I hear, Sonic isn't really all that popular in Japan. He's popular enough, but not huge. Now, he's supposedly humongous in the UK.

    Is Gonzo Being phased out?

    To be fair, he does get shot out of a canon in the non-Super Bowl shots they show on prime time television.

    First look at the newest Sonic series

    I gotta see more of Knuckles in action to see how that's going to play out. But I really love that they got the video game voice actors for this one. Especially since Mike is still Dr. Eggman. he's been my favorite version of the character, second only to the wonderfully hammy Long John...

    The Toyota Highlander Ad--and What it Means for The Muppets

    That's my feeling too. I don't get this weird thing about it all being a dream, either. My take was that Kermit is completely desensitized to that kind of chaos. I believe the expression is "For me, it was a Tuesday."

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    I'm all in favor of recasting characters. I mean, look at how big Cookie Monster came back when David took over the character. Heck, look at the 2 segments this year with Guy Smiley! Frazzle even popped up. Then you look at The Muppets... we had an advertising campaign with Rowlf, Scooter...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    Something every Muppet fan should know by now. If there's one thing I'm sick of saying, myself, is that certain fans whine when a character isn't used because the performer is no longer with them (for various reasons) and then when they bring them back they say "[so and so] doesn't sound the...

    Muppets Most Wanted Poster (UK and Ireland)

    German version of the poster... Eh, well the German makes it funny, at least. And this "Kino" person seems to give it a hearty endorsement.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    I actually give them credit for sneaking new footage in these rerun episodes. That was a pretty fun bit they did right there. I dunno. It's hard to know what to route for. Either more new episodes a season that will inevitably be rush written (like Judy and the Beast obviously was, that's...

    I believe that falls on a Kattilsday.

    The Bat-imposssible seems to be Bat-Happening

    While not quite as impressive, they've also managed to break the last Bat-Barrier. The complete 1968 cartoon series has been announced as well Members of this board will probably know it from the 2 Sesame Street segments.

    Muppets Most Wanted Cheerios

    That's one good looking Piggy. Eh, from the puppetry aesthetic of course. So glad we've left huge eared, flat haired Piggy behind. These are cool, but it would be cooler if they had some physical prize inside the box.

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    Trying to cobble it all together is madness. best not to bother. Though, to their credit, you got to love how the last movie tried to do canon... then basically said that those were movies anyway. :smirk:

    Be thankful they don't have air toking Chef on that thing too. At least most of those posers are newish.

    New behind-the-scenes book to celebrate Fraggle Rock

    If that's the case, they should push the book back to Octember, 45th, 207̃012!

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    There is nothing wrong with refilming these classic bits. If they did, I wonder if they'd take the approach of rerecording the songs or just having the current puppets mime the originals (like the Rubber Duckie and La La La La segments they did a decade ago). The Herculean task would be to get...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    That's not so much a trailer as much as a soft message against internet piracy. Thankfully, a not preachy hypocritical Jewish Mother size guilt trip, as they usually do.

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    A Live action Star Wars show would require quite a lot of money and planning. The murmurs of a Star Wars TV series go back quite a while, and nothing was done with that concept. Lucas himself stated he wanted it to have no less than 100 episodes. That clearly scared off any network who was...

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    We're actually going to get the first Star Wars movie under Disney this summer! That is The TV movie pilot of the new animated Star Wars Rebels series. Too bad they're not theatrically releasing it. Then again, critics took a royal dump on the Clone Wars pilot film, so there's no real...

    Disney has done everything RIGHT in 2014

    In the past 2 nights of TV watching, I haven't seen a show not have that Highlander commercial during at least one of their commercial breaks. Hopefully that translates to more movie tickets bought. Now if they can start back up with the movie TV spots....
