    Am I the only one who hates what they've done to the Fozzie puppet?

    Well we know that have several different Elmo puppets that they use, it could very well be they just pick up whichever they can grab and use it for whatever they're currently filming.

    Did Jim Henson ever meet Walt Disney before?

    Caroll Spinney came close: he got in contact with Clarence "Ducky" Nash (the voice of Donald Duck) who put in a word for him since Caroll was trying to find work as an animator, and dreamed of working for Disney; he got an interview, he showed them a portfolio of his artwork, which impressed...

    Henson Rarities on Youtube

    Is YOUTH 68 not publically available? Like with those TALES FROM MUPPETLAND specials, having seen Jim's other two experimental films (TIME PIECE and THE CUBE), I'd like to be able to see his other experimental piece, though from what I understand, unlike the other two, this one really isn't...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    I've gotten my fair share of comments from people when I had Big Bird's Birthday posted saying how terrible and unwatchable the quality was, but I see your point.

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    Admittdly, I still get tired of hearing this mentality: "Why buy 'Proud to be a Cow' on home video when you can watch the clip online for free?" For . . . practical reasons? Online clips are obviously compressed so you lose a lot of quality that you otherwise retain on DVD - not to mention you...

    The Chipmunks

    There's apparently only two (full, half-hour) episodes left of this season, and some are speculating that Nick will simply hold them over till next season. It'd be cool if they would just air them at random like CN would occasionally do with new episodes of its shows.

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    Hey, look how long everybody kept spreading those Veggie Monster rumors, despite SST speaking loud and clear that Cookie never had or will become Veggie Monster, just that cookies are "sometimes food."

    Pixar: Are the glory days over?

    Actually, I take it back: traditional animation isn't dead, persay, it's just that it's no longer hand-drawn, it's Flash now. Well, I suppose even Flash can be hand-drawn; John R. Dilworth is apparently working on a new animated short that's in Flash, but I think he's using a tablet-like device...

    The breakfast cereal thread

    I vaguely remember all of the novelty items that they came out with to promote the 1996 Summer Olympics . . . like remember those little Nestle ice cream cups that came with little treats like stickers or washable tattoos or trading cards or things like that? I seem to recall a tie-in with those.

    YouTube Poops

    What happens when the latest viral video is chock full of potential? I do a poop of it! Probably my most random one yet. And apologies to Drtooth for stealing from him again.

    Pixar: Are the glory days over?

    As I've said before, I still think there's two major factors at play regardin the "glory days being over": 1. Back in the day, Pixar was always competing against DreamWorks - which was formed specifically to rival Pixar since Jeffrey Katzenberg didn't get his way with the first TOY STORY when...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    The thing of it is, if Kevin came back, that doesn't automatically mean everything will go back to the way they were - he may have clout, but I'm sure his word wouldn't be the exact final say (that apparently was the case with Joey). Likewise, the cases may have been dismissed or thrown out, but...

    I am aware of all that, it just doesn't help that bringing in a "younger Latina to replace Maria" has happened in the timely manner of which it has.

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    I know I've said this before, but these articles are touching on something that's really been bothering me for years now, it's that kids are given no choice but to become hooked on gadgets and gizmos practically as soon as they're yanked out of the womb - the fact that one of the articles...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Bruce Dinsmore posted a demo reel of some of his live action acting on YouTube, though I actually can't really even share it here because the content of it would probably prompt Phil or Ed to nuke it, such as a character he plays that literally rips a woman's head off, or using some colorful...

    Pixar: Are the glory days over?

    Exactly my point. The filmmakers admitted on the DVD commentary that the LGM's rescue was also something of a cliche with the claw being a Deus Ex Machina; but as you say, which would be more satisfying? The moment of hopelessness and anger leading up to the rescue that we got, or Lotso seeing...

    Pixar: Are the glory days over?

    Regarding TS3, I've notice there's a serious divide regarding Lotso: some feel that he should have redeemed himself in the end, while others actually like that he didn't, with very little middle ground. Personally, I really don't mind so much that he doesn't redeem himself, if only because the...

    None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

    Yesterday was supposed to be cloudy all day, and they were saying there would be a possibility of flurries, but it suddenly cleared up completely yesterday. Aside from that, I'm certainly enjoying the temps: 40s and 50s this week, that's pretty seasonal/average, though 50s in January is a might...
