The difference is, and it is the one point I'll give that person, the MTI movie had a G rating, and I'd consider it almost dark enough for a PG rating, but not quite. But South Park has a hard R rating on the back, I don't think anyone is that off the ball enough to confuse it for a kid's...
Oh... and let's not forget the, while memorable and actually quite funny, cameo by Scooby and Shaggy in Looney Tunes Back in Action was forced by the studio as a stealth way to say that a second Scooby film was coming out.
Actually, I take it back. I forgot about Hades. Say what you will about the movie Hercules (I loved it), but James Woods gives such a wonderful performance as a bad guy. In fact, they say he loves the character so much, that he will perform the character for scale any time they use him (TV...
Venus was Executive and Network meddling because of an insanely hypocritical regulation that all boys cartoons have to have positive female role models (especially when girl's shows don't even have strong females most of the time... look at Bratz), even though we now refuse to make toys based on...
I'm sure we'd all be far more annoyed if that terrible movie was referenced. Luckily, Disney pretends that Gnome thing doesn't exist for the most part.
But I'm far more annoyed by the Disney Pop star that the studio just about had to force into the film. Luckily, they wrote a backhanded line...
I think a more suitable disclaimer would be "Muppets are not all Sesame Street, stop trying to buy everything with a Muppet on it because your 3 year old thinks they're all Elmo."
Or "Your children aren't made of glass, and will be exposed to MUCH worse in the real world than anything in the...
Spaceballs was rated PG and has at least one "S" and one "F." Stuff that you can barely get away with in a PG-13 movie now.
But to say that, if I can even remember them saying that biblical term, they used it in the biblical sense, not a "What the &&&& is going on here?" the case where that...
Not at all. Sure, I can't say I liked the Kermit, though it was hardly the worst one I've ever seen (just no match for Fisher Price and Macy's), The Animal was pretty good and the best plush likeness I've seen of the character, but the real show stoppers were Walter and Pepe. Pepe was dead on...
That's not under the radar as much as it is a pop culture reference.
I love how 4Kids snuck some pretty adult jokes in their dubs of Ultimate Muscle and the ill fated Funky Cops. And this is, mind you, a company that's at the mercy of American TV rules and Bowlderizes the heck out of...
I hate how Disney Villains is a woman's brand. And I also don't like how they purposely exclude television and comic book villains, even iconic ones like Magica DeSpell and the Beagle Boys (TV ones with different names and personalities or the original ones that all looked and acted the same...
P&F is a playful blocky that has roundness in it. Not quite as blocky as say, Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Lab (or even most action cartoons now), but the characters look weird in rotation... especially in merchandising.
Here's something...
cartoonists have dirty little minds, and most of the supposed safe stuff has some dirty stealth stuff in it... I LOVE under the radar moments in kid's shows. Animaniacs contained flat out the most stealthily hidden sex jokes in a kid's show. I'm sure some of the writers...
I like the look of the animation. I missed round. For the longest time, everything was blocky, and that looked really cool and all, but I missed round, bulgy cartoon characters. I LOVE the Uncle's character design. It's like some sort of angry crossbreading of Squidward and Carl from Up.
I said it before, I HATE anyone who's so freaking overprotective of one freaking decade of cartoons because every schmuck that considers themselves a cartoon fan claims that their decade was the decade they nailed it and nothing ever should be made ever in the history of ever because they nailed...
Hey! They tried to stomp out home video at one point too... but I could go on and on about that.
Suffice to say, I don't see why The Muppets was PG. Heck, darkest Muppet Movie that was theatrically released was MTI, and that's cuz they shot a guy in the opening number.
I wonder if the case of the other film which can't be mentioned was a fight they couldn't win.
Still, they HATE indie films. In a "Hey! Get off our turf' sort of way.
The Fozzie looks pretty good. Much better than the Disney Store version. And they also remembered his nose and eyes placement in that one too.
The Animal.... not so much.
It's a new show... brand new. It usually takes a while for people to jump on something like that. Spongebob, Phineas and Ferb, Adventure Time, Regular Show... they weren't popular at first. It takes some people a while to get around to watching something, and I REALLY wish TV execs kinda knew...
Our good friends at the MPAA, right? :attitude:
They absolutely hate independent film. It takes people away from bad Adam Sandler comedies and in name only live action versions of cartoons. But that's not even the strangest case.
A certain Matt and Trey movie I can't mention got an NC-17...
It's impossible not to.
What's worse?
All these returning shows in the fall are going to reference that song (Glee, obviously) and they're going to be dated when they do so.
