Disney's Marvel and Star Wars franchises will always succeed due to the hugeness of both Brands. While Jim is a total D-bag (did Jerry Nelson kick sand in his face at the beach or something?), there is that nugget of truth that they'll promote both those franchises over the Muppets due to their...

I really wish people would stop overreacting to the film doing badly. Sure, it's a weak opening for a Summer Film (it would already be called a hit if it was November), but it's also a TV show remake. No matter how well you get a TV show remake, they're mostly failures no matter what (except...

I have no problem with OC's at all. Just when they're flat and become too prominent in fan art. I said heck with it and edited it so I don't get the submissions in my watch list. Another fan fic comic about 2 OC's that are remotely even related to the show in so not the style of the show's...

Agreed. I'm sure there's probably some loophole for the music rights on TV show reruns (though DIC's cartoons kinda prove that to not be true... reruns of Mario cartoons and Captain N have their respective songs crudely edited out). But the biggest problem is where the heck are they going to...

I really liked the show Jimmy Neutron, and it was an impressive feat to get that level of CGI animation into a TV series at the time. They've gotten much better, and JN kinda looks a little technologically dated. But I got to admit... for an off brandish animated film, that Worm movie has...

The worms somehow look like Fraggles/Lemmings with longer noses. Animation does look pretty good. At least the production values are at a Back at the Barnyard level.

Ohhhhhh yeah. And the sad part is, the film still looks better than Turbo. And you can't even accuse it of being cheap. Those actual Disco song rights must've cost a fortune.

What's the name of that British guy? He sounds like a Speakonian computer voice. Especially how he pronounces "Sesame Strett."

I'm too lazy to take a screen shot, but there's a very Lord of the Rings Gandalf looking AM that you can just see when Eric's putting the puppet together. About time Sesame did LOTR, if that's the case. Also, that woman in the blue robe/Kimono... she's not supposed to be Sarah Palin, is she...

That episode is why I don't call Family Guy "preachy" but rather "ranty." The book burning sequence? When they threw in "Basic Logic for First Graders" that was far more passive aggressive than funny. Funny would have been, like, Goodnight Moon or (taking a cue from Mad Magazine) Winnie the...

The problem is, earlier FG's have a plot and the cutscenes were handled much better. Often they were 2 or 3 seconds. They have been trying to fix the show with longer episodes with an actual plot. But they've got like a handful of good episodes in a sea of broadcast orders. Stuff that's...

I like the one where Meg becomes a Born Again Christian, if only for the Star Trek TNG cast segment. The sequence where they're in the car ordering things from McDonalds that weren't on the menu was one of the most brilliant observational bits they've ever done on the show. I call it the half...

Like that first film where a billboard with a fresh cream pie hits Doc Hopper, and they read their own script? The only Muppet movie that had any realism was MTM. That stands as the odd one out.

I'm starting to think that only certain puppeteers are available on certain days, and there's a budget conflict if they get too many of them in a single episode. Fran basically only does Zoe and the occasional incidental character now. We really need more Prairie stuff on the show.

Wow... Mad Props to Despicable Me 2

I still watch it, but it's a shell of its former self. I like when they have grand Stewie and Brian adventures, or something else big and bold. But I miss the precomeback seasons...even the first 2 or 3 seasons after the comeback. Especially when Peter wasn't a mean manchild. They did like...

One of them sort of looks like Greatest American Hero, but I severely doubt they'd go that obscure and old for a reference.

I'd say that too, but that's far too easy. Especially the absolute soul destroying stuff on A&E and worse off TLC. I don't care what cultists have too darn many kids, what trailer trash stereotype has ugly kids, or some 750 pound kid who's considered a Half Ton, because that's incredibly...

I've noticed some of those ripoffs were retroactive. They existed long before the Disney versions came out (most of the Fairy Tale ones), but were released only because they could get them cheap. I've seen portions of it, and it is beautiful. Of course they stuck to the original ending...

The second one is my favorite of the series. Unless you count Puss in Boot's spinoff. There's something about PIB I enjoyed more than the entire Shrek franchise. Though I do blame Shrek's popularity for the lame rise of cruddy Fairy Tale parody type films. YES, even the Henson ones. But...
