Guess what famous children's author I attended a lecture of and met last night? I might as well share some highlights while they're fresh in my memory. If someone wants to relay them to the Arthur Message Board, they can. He's NOT kidding about writing what he knows and basing characters on...

It's a matter of defeatism or arrogance if this thing gets marketed. Considering the marketing for the film was TWICE the budget of production, I'd say arrogance over defeatism. If this guy didn't do it under his own production company, he'd be fired in a red hot second after the first weekend...

Someone on Comic Book resources posted an editorial on it... I can't so much say I was at a loss of words, but this guy conveyed what I was thinking better than I could... The only way they would be able to not undo the ending of the last movie was to have someone clumsily take on the mantle...

I don't think they should have done it at all... at least with the script they had. Garfield works so much better in animation. Even in complete CGI, which is why the DTV movies and new cartoon series are far superior. Peabody and Sherman gets it right on that level. No matter how good they...

It was confirmed that this is paired with The Peabody and Sherman movie. I have some faith in it, if nothing else, because it's completely CGI. I think that a LOT of short comings in these films is that they have to be hybrid, and even when it works it's not that great. Rocky and Bullwinkle...

The thing is, this does bring up why prequels were chosen over sequels. It's not so much the story was bad, it was all the story telling. All the elements were there, just lost due to bad direction. If it was an expanded universe comic or novel, it would have worked better. Bringing back...

Here's something. There are well over 4000 episodes of Sesame Street. There's got to be hundreds, if not Thousands of sketches, and to comb through that mighty catalog is a daunting task. And I'm sure a LOT of sketches about Surprise are just labeled "Surprise" or they have very specific...

MwoO was done under Henson. Possibly rushed out by Disney, but completely conceived under the original parent company. Exactly. There's no reason for him to come back. Coming back from the dead? There's a reasonable doubt there. But coming back from the dead after a face heel turn to...

Yeah, I'd rather an Optimus Prime, though. Didn't they have Mr. Potatohead at one point? he's my favorite Hasbro toy. But I hate that Nintendo sponsors a Pikachu balloon instead of a Super Mario one. I'm glad Sega brought Sonic back. But for a while, all the balloons were C-list corporate...

A MILLION times yes. Anyway, I hate when I watch one thing that one time, and I get hundreds of something I could care less about in my recommendeds.

What's all this about Meandering Toast and Thneed Totals?

This is why I have a love hate relationship with internet memes. The funny ones never catch on (I had a deviant art friend who wanted "This is a WRENCH" to happen), and the only ones that get anywhere are Mentally Disabled speech. That's what this thing seems to be a tribute to, but at least...

Okay, I'm totally not happy about the next film now: They're planning to bring back Darth Vader instead of giving us an actual story. Yeah, the character had a face heel turn that was integral to the ending of the franchise. To essentially turn it into a revenge plot movie actually sounds...

It always seems to be the celebrities on various levels of "we'll never see them again after this broadcast." Plus, I swear the floats are just as bad as the balloons almost a decade ago, when they were all corporate mascots from none too popular companies instead of cartoon characters. I...

Thank you! I've been waiting for someone to say that so I don't look crazy. But that's not going to stop me from seeing it. William Joyce is behind it. It really seemed like a self contained story, but I'd like to see more of Gru, though I don't have any idea what kind of story is possible...

Eh, I only watched several of these episodes out of order. Didn't get a chance to see that one yet.

Shark Tale was the lowest Dreamworks sank. If we all recall the Black Friday real of Toy Story, you know where Sharktale comes from. It's true that Antz was rushed out before Bugs Life, it's a whole big scene about Bugs Life being released at the same time as Prince of Egypt, and threatening...

It sure was. And it was my favorite of their movies to date. If anything deserves a sequel, it's that one. I even have all the cereal promo toys.

I always thought Follow that Bird had elements of Mad Mad Mad Mad World in it. It would be cool to see the Muppet Show characters in something like it. Maybe next time.

You know what really honks me off? Seems that Macy's isn't doing the big balloon tie in plush anymore, and just putting scarves of AFLAC duck. Now, they're cute and I love ducks and all, but I really liked the big tie in plush. The Kermit was one of the best Kermits I've ever seen. I'd...
