    Any theories on why certain characters didn't make the cut?

    The movie was jam packed as it was. I'm sure stuff was scripted, but didn't even make it past that stage. Not to mention all the puppeteers that they'd need to hold all those characters on screen at once. It's completely forgivable noting the last bunch of theatrical films had a lack of...

    Muppet cake toppers

    One of those amazon (or was it e-bay) advertisements at the bottom of the screen actually showed those. I didn't know if it was real or not. Looks like it is. Yeah, they usually sell these separately... but they're like upwards of five bucks or more in cases. I wish I got the Yu Yu Hakusho...

    Toonami's Coming Back!!

    It's not that I;m a big fan of Sailor Moon (my sister is)... but I keep seeing these new T-shirts and re-released manga and all this restored interest in the character. Is that supposed to come back, or were those all fan based rumors? I don't see any other anime retro merchandise out there...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I hate to double post, but I want to see if anyone wants to carry on a conversation about this. Anyone else kinda disappointed that Battleship made back its money, especially overseas? It really seems like they're rewarding very bad decisions made exclusively by producers and giving them the...

    Toonami's Coming Back!!

    Other than like 2 shows, it's basically the same exact anime they air anyway, just with the brand name slapped on it. Like I said... great that it's "back," but it should have been a tween and up line up like last time.

    Toonami's Coming Back!!

    Anyone yet know what shows are going to be on this thing? I heard Casshern Sins will be one of them. Basically a gritty reboot of an old Tatsunoko action show. I've never actually seen it, except for his appearance in the Time Bokan anniversary special DVD (only thing we got out of Time Bokan...

    Any theories on why certain characters didn't make the cut?

    I don't really understand why everyone's sweating the lack of presence of Miss Mousy and Mildred Huxteter when we had Link do a musical number and Wayne and Wanda making out. Some of us were just glad Rowlf got a couple lines that were more than 2 words long, and the fact Scooter had a role...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    It looks like other than the three episodes they completely missed for some reason, The last of the old series has a release date. Great for closure and completests... but I'm going to avoid it.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Rebooting the franchise instead of just making a 4 with other talent (something that they could have done hypothetically) is the best thing they can do with the franchise. It gets the bad taste out of Spider-Man 3 out of the public's collective mouths. Twilight inspired or not, the films have...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I must've heard something different. Of course, I heard it several years ago. But then again, the third movie got so much flack from the very same people that liked the first two, it probably didn't seem worth the gamble in the long run. Even if Sony was willing to pay their ego based...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    A Road Trip movie would be cool and all, but how would they differentiate it from the first movie, or even Follow that Bird? Somehow I'd like to see some sort of weird Mystery that gets weirder the closer they are to solving it. Maybe make it a period piece that's so self aware that it is one...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Not entirely true. They've rebooted the franchise because the third movie was an unholy mess of screwed up concepts and the toy companies wanting to shove as many villains as possible into the film. In the end, we had a weak Venom story that made the film outright cartoonish. And bad...

    New Disney parks muppets PVCs?

    I found out today why I didn't see them. They sold out THAT FAST. The second they hit, they sold out. And they don't know when they'll get them again.

    Electric Mayhem replicas at Walt Disney Hollywood Studios, Florida

    I still think it was a blown opportunity not to expand their plush toy line when the movie hit DVD. Not even by one character? Come on. You made plush of unnamed giraffe and zebra background characters for Lion King. I'm sure a Dr. Teeth would have sold solidly. Mini-posers or just even a...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I feel I have to mention this... The Tinkerbell movies are based off of Italian Disney comics. I feel there's a LOT of untapped potential for DTV/cartoon series based on the Italian Disney comics, and Tinkerbell's just scratching a surface that desperately needs to... uh... keep being...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    Disney's tight lipped, sure... but I'd be surprised if they even had a rough idea of what the story is at this point. They only started working on it not even a month ago. That never stopped them before... especially with Dreamworks and Antz. Still, Alpha Omega is two crimes. Stopping a...

    Peppermint... STINKIN...Park. Terrible Kid's show

    That's a local puppet show. Some of those are hit or miss anyway. It's alright, but not quite as interesting as what I've seen of The Letter People. Now, the puppets on that may be amateurish, but the humor (as far as the show went on) was pretty strong. I Especially liked Monty Swell's...

    Toonami's Coming Back!!

    The thing that's just frustrating about it (at least on Funimation's part) is that they just started showing the episodes before the line up got the boot. I don't even think they even got to Skypea yet by the time they stopped it. From what I heard, they did air a few of those episodes in...

    Toonami's Coming Back!!

    Saint Seiya was never finished. ADV/DIC didn't finish dubbing the series. So basically, they didn't finish dubbing a show that wasn't even finished in Japan. At least at the time of the DVD/dub releases, anyway. It's too complicated to mention everything about Saint Seiya. Let's just say...

    Toonami's Coming Back!!

    Adult Swim is their biggest hit. There's NO WAY they'd consider getting rid of that one. As for a full day Adult Swim network, there's a lot of logistical things someone once told me about it not working. Among other things, if they put r rated cartoons on in the middle of the day, some...
