It seems that, considering it's one of the earlier Christmas specials (not counting the countless TERRIBLE 1930's and early 40's cartoons) D'Snowth has a point. It's trying to be subversive and satirical in a 1960's, "you'd get it if you read Mad Magazine from that era" sort of way. I mean...

Personally, I like the fact Dr. Seuss, out of ALL the TV specials done, spoke of Butter Battle Book the highest. Not that it isn't very good in its own right, and I am a Bakshi fan, but it's a shame he didn't seem to care for these other ones. The Grinch Vs. The Cat in the Hat I feel is a...

Am I the only one who thinks the Simpsons writers gags stick out like a sore thumb? No offense of course, some of it just seems like the Muppets doing Simpsons jokes. The most obvious? All of Sam's dialogue in the special seems like stuff Sideshow Mel would say. I.e. words that only sound...

I'm surprised it wasn't on DVD already, frankly. I'm sure this will go straight to the discount bin, and it's primary audience will be people who think they can handle watching it for the lulz.

You realize that they planned a sequel the second the Box Office receipts for that came in, right? The movie was meh, which is frankly better than it looked. Hank Azaria carried the whole thing, and there still was no call to bring them into the "real world." I'm pretty annoyed they're doing...

The worst thing is, the film came out at a time when I needed money for something else, and I didn't get the chance to see it right then. The last week the film was playing, I was dragged to (but freaking enjoyed) Get him To The Greek, so I never caught it. I can't rent DVD's (no credit card)...

Yeah. I was reading it when I wrote that! I do like Rudolph, but I really only watch for Yukon Cornelius and the Bumble. But everyone is just so nasty in that special, except for the outcasts. The outcasts at least have some clarity on the situation. Heck, the elf gets more respect at the...

The line up is something like... uh.. Sonic X, Power Rangers in the Lost Galaxy (It's Saban after all)... they used to have Iron Man Armored Adventures but now it's Transformers Prime, JLU, that WWE thing, DB Kai, and the new and old Yu-Gi-Oh's. BUT they did run Tiny Toons Night Ghoulery twice...

I wasn't saying he was. It's just... considering this was done before the actual Crock Hunter died, it takes a lame pop culture reference and turns it into a ghoulish lame pop culture reference in hindsight. That's why Pop culture references barely fly anymore. Eh, that and the Parody Movie...

Good history lesson there. You know what else? I've come to the realization that, of all the characterizations of Santa in Christmas specials, the WORST has to be Rudolph. Hear me out. He's a joyless jerkwad that scolds Rudolph's father for daring to father a freak of nature, he's always...

Not true. I don't know how long their contract is, but a lot of what they air is on other cable channels. They currently air reruns of Justice League Unlimited and Transformers Prime. And they FINALLY got the last saga of Dragon Ball Kai (at least until the Majin Buu arc, which they're...

Yeah, someone mentioned that somewhere else. I really don't see how this deserves a theatrical release. However, this thing was supposed to come out about now, and I haven't seen any marketing whatsoever other than that online trailer. I guess maybe the big theater chains might have run it...

This probably ruins the joke of it, but every movie that's been released in a year is eligible for Oscar nomination, and every single film is submitted. There is NO WAY it's going to get into the consideration stage at all. I remember seeing an ad for the live action Scooby-Doo movie's Oscar...

Makes sense. Saban and Nick seem to have some deal together with Power Rangers anyway, and Yu-Gi-Oh is now a Saban brand. The series, anyway. Of course, I never really cared for Yu-Gi-Oh. It seems like the guy who wrote it was coerced by Shuishia and eventually the card game companies to...

Sad thing is, it sounds like the film was better without the forced NBC references and that awkward and pointless forced bit about the Crock Hunter (dude died... it wasn't too funny when he was alive, anyway). Too bad I bet it makes the fact Fozzie almost passed out from the tranq dart make no...

I thought the videos they have in this category were usually free to download on iTunes. Something tells me this is just for child psychologists to show their patients if that's the case. I guess the main show doesn't want to do anything that isn't STEAM related. Even if that wasn't the case...

If I have one complaint about that movie, it's that it felt like a complete film trilogy in 90 minutes. There was so much story in that film that they could easily have made it a 2 or 3 parter. The human part took up a decent amount of story at the beginning, but once things turned over to the...

That's definitely the concern I'm hearing. Most of the later films have more human involvement (or at least focus) than the earlier ones. Part of that (at least with MCC and MTI) is because they wanted to re-introduce the characters, Kermit especially, slowly. The last movie needed the human...

Yeah. Those are probably either included on the website released to Youtube to promote it or supplementary material for it. Seems like they're going to have some real kid stories in this like the other Talk, Listen, Connect initiatives.

Not just that, but everything he says is supposedly controversial because he makes supposedly offensive statements in his comedy routines. Same thing that kept him getting banned from awards shows, just long enough for the producers to realize that was the only reason people even tuned into...
