    Who's your favorite Disney princess?

    Leia's got as much a chance being a Disney Princess as... uh... I can't remember what Princesses if any exist in the Marvel universe. Or Miss Piggy, for that matter. Separate Brands. Now if there's ONE Disney Princess I really like, it's Princess Mira Nova from the Buzz Lightyear series...

    Uncle Grandpa

    This cartoon has crossed the threshold of "what do you mean it wasn't made on drugs?" to "What do you mean I'm not on Drugs?" If ever there was a cartoon that made Sweet Cuppin' Cakes look rational and coherent by comparison, it has to be this. I've never questioned reality this much after...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    The entire list... Like shell those are the best Sesame Street has to offer. They're all Elmo-centric, even though he's only named in 5 titles. I don't see why this has such a grandiose, boastful title. Older Sesame fans will be very disappointed to see it's a bunch of semi-recent Elmo...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I have problems in general when Tom and Jerry are friends with no conflict. Like that horrible Grape Ape/Mumbley/Tom And Jerry show. Well, the Mumbley cartoons are alright, any way... but those Tom and Jerry cartoons are the worst. The Filmation and Gene Dietch ones look at them and go "At...

    Who's your favorite Disney princess?

    Ah, Beauty and the Beast... the Disney movie where everyone's a jerk.

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    What were we talking about? Oh yeah. Alpha and Omega and Gnomeo and Juliet having unironic fan bases. Of course, when I say something negative about Cloudy with a Change of Meatballs movies, it's treated like blasphemy. Anyway... but there's a lot of terrible animated movies in the 90's...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    That stupid Space film we were talking about earlier... STILL no word on it on the internet, except for its own page. WOW! Even Oogieloves had buzz for sucking. I doubt it would even be filler at a RedBox at this point.

    Who's your favorite Disney princess?

    Every April, from comic book to 2012 cartoon series was great. She bounce around from mother figure to hot babysitter figure to contemporary. Then you look at Venus DiMilo... added in by the network, a less funny girl version of Omi from Xiaolin Showdown (even though that came later, I have...

    Who's your favorite Disney princess?

    I always found it hypocritical that guy's cartoons had to have positive female role models when they didn't need it, and girl's cartoons could have characters that were vapid, personality devoid, and little more entertaining than the cardboard packaging the toys came in. There are those...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I forget the specifics, but everything was totally screwed up except for that outside workprint. It's somewhere on youtube, but I'm too lazy to look it up, but one of the animators said that they were watching a pretty decently complete version of the film, and it was just vanishing before...

    Who's your favorite Disney princess?

    I hate the brand. I hate how completely hypocritical it is that these girls have to be strong female role models and generic pink fashion doll tea party toys at the same time. You have these strong female characters who only end up with a man if they want to, and then they're plastered on all...

    The Great Muppet Caper and Muppet Treasure Island coming to Blu-ray December 10

    Again, it's not a Muppet thing, it's not even just a Disney thing. Every company has to deal with stock photos and style guides because that's what the higher ups are looking for. Brand unity and easy recognition. In the case of animation (just throwing this into the conversation), the style...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    The company was capable of doing better animation. They're behind the Lego Star Wars specials. The fact that the end product's animation is hurried and sloppy compared to their other works does show strong evidence that they had to reanimate everything because the hard drives were taken...

    The Mr. Potatohead Show FOUND

    Jem could be revised, but it would have to be heavily altered to be more contemporary. The show is so 80's, your hair grows and becomes feathered just looking at it. I hear they reran the original on The Hub for a while.

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Alpha Omega unfortunately has a lot of unironic serious fans. And not because of just wolf lovers. Even make it appoint to spread the whole "this movie doesn't deserve what it gets" bit. Same with that Gnome crap. And both films are getting second ones. They don't even have the "I grew up...

    Batman Madness

    The internet spoils every movie. I don't see why more studios don't try to keep things more secret. It does seem like something that would come out eventually, no thanks to insiders leaking information. But the announcement came from WB themselves. If the movie leaves everyone unimpressed...

    One thing that annoyed me in "The Muppets"

    Exactly. Author Appeal.

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Here's something that always gets me. No matter how rank stinkin' mind destroying stupid and terrible an animated movie is, it always has some sort of cult following. Seriously... that crap about the Gnomes has one, as does Alpha Omega. And that doesn't even count older animated films that...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    A clip from Big Bird's storytime (which I never saw) where Kermit pops up. I'd say randomly, but I didn't see the video, so I'm probably missing something. Heh. Big Bird calls him by Miss Piggy's pet name for him.

    One thing that annoyed me in "The Muppets"

    I don't so much think the 80's theme had anything to do with the Muppets (except for the big break up after MTM being part of the plot... that was subsequently cut from the film and only known through the novelization), so much as it's basically author appeal. Jason seems to have been one of...
