I agree with herald. The script needed work. Having it come out when the Turtles were starting to get displaced in pop culture because of the other martial arts action teenager team that popped up at that time. But, storywise, it was a much better and stronger presence than the second film...

There are things I understand not knowing until you have kids... but child psychologists and pediatricians have been decrying the educational value in products for kids under the age of 3. Especially the Tweeg/Flim Flam Bros. medicine wagon style Baby Einstein and Your Baby can Read. I...

That's why Adventure Time is such an amazing show. On the surface, it looks like a nerdy, quirky goofy little show... but then the episodes get intensely dark. Like why the Ice King is the Ice King. And the episode where the gender confused Cookie commits suicide because he can't be a...

This is getting wildly off topic, but... The princess movies work on formula, which Animaniacs covered (I don't even need to repost that clip, you know what it is). The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Pocahontas are the same basic story essentially (though it's most obvious with...

I wonder if it has anything to do with Warner Bros' ownership of Ruby Spears... I know the first season of The Tick manages to cut the end credits just before the "Fox Kids" logo, while I think the second season keeps it in tact. And NO release of Inspector Gadget has the original DIC Inspector...

I've often said that EW is basically a condensed 15 minute rehash of all the approaches Sesame Street has taken to teaching subjects, only shown all at once and on the same subject. I will say that EW had its moments (the epic return of Kermit to Sesame Street for one... and the Ears episode...

Ah, not you. It is they who say it's Anime. It's a generic Hello Kitty inspired look. In context of Sesame English, i guess these things work better, but it's one of those Sesame Street segments they always run that are all the same, and those lack variety. Even in older letter and number...

I'm sure there was studio pressure as well to make competing Princess films. Thumbelina was ghastly terrible, and I only was dragged to that because I have a sister who was young at the time, and by my own desire to see "I'M Mad." It's really a shame WB screwed the Animaniacs movie and dumped...

They couldn't afford Henson that time, or Henson didn't want to do it or something. I dunno. I'm in the rare camp that actually likes TMNT III over the second one. I mean, the first film was a respectable dramatic action film with comedic overtones. I can't be the only one that got misty...

I liked how the Ruby Spears episodes contained voice actors that were on other RS shows at the time... Peter Cullen, for example. Plus, I just really like the background music the RS series had. Every series after had some very 90's synth music to it, but the RS ones sounded orchestrated. And...

In Pain... In Need... And Don't underestimate the importance of BAWDY LANGWAGE!!!!!

I miss the not block format. I mean, I get what they're going for, and they're somehow making the main show like the international versions, which are all segment based compilation shows now... but I really miss the street story being broken up and shown through out the episode. It's a shame...

The dialogue didn't strike me as any different than a standard action cartoon. It isn't exactly easy to make straightforward seriousness and not Narm. Even the comic was kinda guilty of it. There was one episode where the dialogue was atrocious, I admit... one of the last of the REAL 2k3...

Gonzo sacrificed on screen time for a great Brick Joke. They were right to do it. They'd no doubt dedicate it to Jerry... Jim and Richard would probably... but Jerry is a definite. Get Smart was dedicated to Edward Platt and Don Adams... had they made the movie sooner, Don would have played...

I had to stop watching halfway through the episode to look it up. Even in the previews I was getting strong Beast Boy vibes from Mikey. But then again, the show overall seems to be inspired by Teen Titans... those little bouts of anime double takes, especially.

I like it better than the movie's design, certainly. It does look DA-ish... needs more polish to really make it stick out. I feel the same way too. I was lucky to live somewhere where they syndicated The Alvin Show while the Chipmunks were popular, so I got both. The more I thought about...

2k3 is pretty light compared to the comics. Especially Zuli... even the comics were light compared to stories by Zuli. But then again, I went through the entire series start to finish, and when it gets really dark, it gets real. Characters die quite a bit, and Baxter Stockman slowly becomes a...

Structured=Formulaic. Structured also = Rainman freaking out that he's going to miss Judge Wapner. What EW really is? it's basically all the approaches Sesame Street takes to teach a subject shown at once all on one subject. Adult human actors teaching a subject comedically, talking to kids...
