    Lilo and Stitch is another great one. It's one of the few times an original idea became a hit (if any original ideas became a hit). I mean, you don't get 3 DTV sequels and a cartoon series in the US and 2 in Japan if you're not a hit. Heck, Lion King and Aladdin each only got 2 DTV's and One...

    Rumor: Studio DC continuing in 2012

    Plus there's no news they'd even do it. So, yeah... that's a good sign too. Like I said, this was when they were mercilessly airing and marketing those Tween Shows. It was to try to get that potential fanbase to like the Muppets. There's no reason to try that anymore. Between that and...

    I Miss the Munsters :(

    I dunno... giant mansion set, movie quality CGI effects... This is the same mind behind Pushing Daisies. A show that, while it got good ratings, they weren't good enough to warrant that huge budget. Even if this managed to be picked up, I'm sure they'd blame the budget and cancel the thing...

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    Somehow, I think that's something only they would be able to do. Of course, they'd probably give us an amazing Blu-Ray release and something even Lazier than Lucas for a standard DVD, but I'll probably wind up getting a Blu Player by then, so I really couldn't complain. Of course, that is, if...

    Favorite Kermit Voice Actor? Jim Henson or Steve Whitmire?

    Frank Welker... Because Jim Henson, Steve Whitmire, and Artie Espesito are PUPPETEERS, not voice actors.

    I Miss the Munsters :(

    The worst part is, it actually was good! The problem is the barely in name only-ness of the concept. They could have called it anything else in the world, and it still would have worked. Other than the name only connection to the Munsters, if you thought about it as something else, it was a...

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    My thoughts exactly. Disney has a LOT of toys, but at least play with the toys you already have. The only thing that bugs me about their ownership of Marvel, though, is the fact that Marvel published more Disney properties in the 90's than they've done now. Leftover Toy Story and Muppet comic...

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    But here's the thing. People want to see Empire Strike Back 2, essentially the same old 3 Star Wars films with different stories. That's kinda what people wanted out of the prequels. Sure, there are those that had real problems with the films themselves in terms of quality and storytelling...

    Emperor's New Groove. Watch it and TELL me it isn't a stealth parody/deconstruction of Disney movies. The hero (so to speak) is insufferably nasty and a likeable unlikable, the villain would almost be sympathetic if she wasn't an absolute monster. Not to mention the fact that they even...

    Shows you hate but love?

    You'll probably never know how much I HATE the fact that I actually like the Pony Show. It's... it's zombifyingly good. The back off, stay away, you've been warned sort of good. I blame the internet for making me that morbidly curious. And that *&^% Dr. Hooves T-Shirt I saw at Hot Topic...

    I'm just wondering. Anyone out there that just don't feel Disney's going to ruin Star Wars because Lucas already did?

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    Avengers is the only movie so far done completely under Disney, even though they had the Paramount Logo in the film for some reason. But I wouldn't give all the credit to Disney for making that film what it was. It was Joss Whedon that made the film exceptional. In fact, the only reason why...

    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    It seems that the character was going to be Flanderized into one, mistaking his goofiness for stupidity. Fozzie has never said anything stupid before. Sometimes naive, but never stupid. I blame how he was portrayed in MTI, because you can tell that's the direction he was going in when you...

    "Peanuts" movie in development for November 2015 release

    I'd have to read the whole graphic novel when it gets released. I can't see why they can't just make it a 4 part comic arc first, but whatever. But so far, it looks pretty much like a graphic novelization of a TV special or the TV show. I dunno about the premise, but it really does seem like...

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    Clone Wars has gotten much better (so I'm told). They've even devoted episodes to salvaging Jar Jar Binks as a character. Not even Lucas himself did that. I can't say I like the look in CGI, but after that rocky pilot movie, the show found its direction and has become far superior to the...

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    To be fair, the John Carter problem was due to their marketing department. Why they didn't make any connection to the "Of Mars" title or Edgar Rice Burrows is beyond anyone's scope. However, with Marvel and Star Wars, they KNOW that heck would be to pay if they screwed up. Lucas isn't safe...

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    I strongly disagree to that. Disney has done a good job with the Muppets so far... they could have done better, mind you, but at least we got the first theatrical film since 1999. I don't think Henson would have done that. Look at Power of the Dark Crystal and Fraggle Rock the movie. We're...

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    If Lucas isn't behind it 100%, it will be good. All the stuff that made the prequel trilogy the way it was could have been in the original films, if Lucas didn't have people bouncing ideas off of him. C3-PO was supposed to have the same negative Jew stereotype voice that Watto did. But I...
