    The Worst Teen Revamp Ever?

    Well, this is a Brazilian comic, so I guess it's not going to be anywhere else, thankfully. But what really bugs me is when they say "anime" style, it's some Sailor Moon looking stereotype. Trust me... Anime can look like Or even this little beauty... Yeah... TMS TOTALLY stole...

    Palisades-style Hanna-Barbera figures

    Money I guess. it all comes down to having to buy 2 7 dollar figures instead of one package of 11 dollar figures like HKP and Spot or Space Ghost and Blip. Though, if they did that, they could have made Tom and Jerry in scale with each other. I know back when Playmates had the Simpsons line...

    Palisades-style Hanna-Barbera figures

    Now that I think about it, does anyone know how that Space Ghost compares with the SG Coast to Coast action figures from 2002 or so? I never managed to snag anyone but Zorak. Kinda wish Tom and Jerry were bundled together, and they had George Jetson to go with that Rosie, but so far so good...

    The Worst Teen Revamp Ever?

    And you know what's really terrible? There already WAS a Japanese produced Little Lulu anime! And she didn't look a thing like that. Sure, she had an anime redesign, but it was extremely subtle. Her hair was dark brown and the characters had large Gag Manga mouths. That subtle. You might...

    Muppet Wizard of Oz - Positives and Negatives

    There's so much to take in here that I might as well go the route not taken. Why the heck did they do Muppet Wizard of Oz, another tale told too many times by too many people, when they had much better scripts and concepts in the wings? At best this was going to be below MCC and MTI in...

    The Worst Teen Revamp Ever?

    I can't believe the show has a diehard fanbase that doesn't think it deserves the crap it got, even though it totally does. Though I caught some season 2 episodes, an they did try to turn the show around by making villains out of actually Looney Tunes characters instead of dry, stale...

    Palisades-style Hanna-Barbera figures

    Wanna see my Chowder collection? it's 3 out of 4 figures I got out a gumball machine. Plus, Mattel's CN toy line up of the Eds, Grim and Mandy, and Fosters (among others that never got produced) were lousy and impossible to find. Plus, I wanna get honest here. I HATED all the PPG...

    Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny - Worst Movie Ever?

    You know... Now that I think about it, I almost thought this thread was about that upcoming Dreamworks movie where Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny (among other childhood icons) are warriors and Guardians of childhood something or other. But that looks too awesome to be bad... right?

    WB trying for Justice League movie again

    The one thing DC has done good by is television animation... though I get the distinct feeling Beware the Batman's Bowlderization is going to hurt the series significantly, and the DC nation shorts "Batman of Shanghai" seem to be a much higher concept and more worthy of a TV series. Plus, I'm...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    I tend to see a lot of promos for movies that are hits as well, so that's kinda a stretch anyway. I've never seen a movie that didn't have extreme promotions everywhere. Maybe Scott Pilgrim, but that was pretty much stealth marketed at comic book stores.

    Palisades-style Hanna-Barbera figures

    Jazzwares has come quite a ways in becoming an action figure producer. It's original Megaman line left much to be desired (except for the Retro Rotos). And I really do like their Finn and Jake, despite them being rotocast and giving them floppy rubbery arms that can't hold up their accessories...

    WB trying for Justice League movie again

    There's so many rumors popping up, This article has a couple of them For those who don't want to bother with the link, the Wachowiskis are supposedly involved (and I really don't think that sounds too good. They haven't really had success with anything after the first Matrix, arguably the...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    My, this is quite interesting... apparently the script for Teenage Mutated by Michael Bay Turtle-aliens from Dimension X was leaked, and big details about the film were released... and fears were realized. Seems that the first half of the movie, unfortunately Michael Bay was right about. It...

    Will the Count live on?

    The question then becomes, who's going to do the puppetry for The Count in the offset chance Matt's performing Big Bird at the same time, if the dialogue is looped in?

    SpongeBob Deleted Scenes

    Spongebob DOES have a lot of stuff they slip past the radar, most Nicktoons do. I still think the creator of Invader Zim was absolutely nuts to want what he wanted in a cartoon series and was darn lucky with what they let in. We have this disgusting, hypocritical prudishness when it comes to...

    SpongeBob Deleted Scenes

    That's why I hate how they dump the demographic of the show down to preschoolers. It's certainly NOT a show I'd let preschoolers watch. You have one episode where he doesn't know how to tie his shoes, and suddenly we have Spongebob Toddler rectal thermometers (an actual product) and huge...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    It's going to have to bomb BIG time to not make up a 12 million dollar budget, with most of that safe to say going directly to marketing. I wouldn't be surprised if the film was made on less than half of that. All it would take is 13 mil in receipts for this to be considered a success...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    You can tell that Paranorman's completely under the radar, which is very disappointing on all levels (&^%$ August release date! Doesn't help that it couldn't be released in September or October when a horror comedy kid's film would do wonders because of Hotel Transylvania and Frankenwenie...

    Henson Alternative Puppet Show Coming To NBC

    Is this thing still happening? Seems like it's going to be a mid-season replacement if anything. I totally got confused by ABC's "The Neighbors," a similar premise but with Aliens instead of puppets, thinking that the project was switched to ABC and changed concept. The fact that the two are...

    Favorite Jerry Nelson Character

    It's a tough choice, but that's the amazing thing about Jerry's characters. There's usually one character each performer does that the audience and or the performer doesn't care too much for... but I don't think there's any Jerry character I don't like. So I chose Trash Heap for two...
