    Archaia to Reprint Marvel Fraggle Comics

    I managed to find it Saturday. Lucky I had that gift certificate with me... but out of the three comic stores I tried, only one had it, and it was the last copy, and it was ironically the first one I tried. My only complaint is the faux dust jacket cover makes it a little awkward to hold the...

    "The Doozers" preschool series under development

    If there are 2 projects Henson was bonkers to not pursue, it was Happy Time Murders and Unnamed CGI Doozers project. Face it... all we're really getting out of Henson these days are CGI based kid's shows (one with digital puppetry, one just regular CGI). And They're both doing well for...

    Plushes at Tesco

    It's just disappointing there wasn't much of an effort over here. We had some stuff, we had that Disney store stuff that didn't even restock yet (and it's getting LOTS of demand... Pepe's going for a hundred bucks on amazon). But it really feels like we should have had some more. We really...

    Pixar Vs. Dreamworks

    Dreamworks, as I said before, came a LONG way since Shrek and Shark Tale. I'd hate to lump Kung Fu Panda with the other two. Shrek and Madagascar were what they were, but Kung Fu Panda, both movies, were very masterfully done. When the first one came out, I almost missed it, thinking "oh boy...

    Kids' shows nowadays

    You know what I realized? If Pumbaa from the Lion King was created today, he'd be the most hated Disney character in existence for being mostly fart jokes. But because he came well before that in 1994, he was ahead of the curve, and therefore original in doing so. You could easily say that...

    For Crying Out Loud, What is Wrong With You People?

    Even then, I don't think I'd be able to torrent the anime I'm looking for. I've got VERY obscure tastes in anime, after all. I LOVE Osomatsu-kun... but I don't think anyone in the US is hip to it (though I saw a non-Asian guy with an Osomatsu-kun/Tensai Bakabon shirt once). I'd LOVE for some...

    Kids' shows nowadays

    Nah, I don't think I said that. But it is very indicative of the magazine, which usually has different art styles all over the place, and has since it's inception. Even when it was new... of course, back when it started, that's what the humor territory was like. 1980's cartoon characters...

    Kids' shows nowadays

    That's the same reason I like Mad more than Robot Chicken. Robot Chicken is capable of some funny sketches, sure... but more than half the time they shove in a cheap drug or sex reference and it's like the equivalent of tossing in a fart joke for no reason in a kid's film. It was funny the...

    What improvements would you have made to The Muppets Film 2012 (spoilers)

    Of all the other reasons, this one shone the brightest. I really do like MCC and MTI (I've complained enough about MWO for you to know the reasons), but it would have been a terrible idea to relaunch the franchise on a gimmick, rather than the more organic "getting the gang back together" plot...

    Forced Celebrity Cameos Cliche: Good or Bad?

    Arthur is trying very hard to be The Simpsons in that aspect. Though, with Arthur and it's educational content, there's a lot more deux ex machina (or lazy convenience if you rather) with some of the guest stars. I like how Arthur Ganson was introduced, Muffy finding him at an art show, and...

    Is Fozzie Bear EVIL???

    There's just something funny with someone walking away with dust all over their face and their hair spiked up. Real explosions, terrible things happen...

    At least Disney's marketing the heck out of these guys in Europe... :sigh:

    Is Fozzie Bear EVIL???

    I really don't want to go out on a rant... but I hate how one thing happened, and we have to have it hang over our heads and let it change everything (except learning various lessons that we forget the next time) . That's kinda what the bad guys wanted, right? And I'm not referring to just...

    For Crying Out Loud, What is Wrong With You People?

    Indeed they are. Well... the Sneetches who had stars in the first place and took them off when it wasn't exclusive. I know the story is an allegory of racism... but I also find it also has a lot to do with class systems and also how people deal with fashion and fads. I'm very mixed on the...

    The Chipmunks

    Direct To Video. Oh, by the way... I didn't buy it (had no idea how much it was, and it was in terrible, coverless condition anyway)... but I found an old 1960's Chipmunks comic book at a comic book store. had Clyde Crashcup on it. I'd probably buy it if I knew the price, but it looked like...

    Kids' shows nowadays

    Indeed. The Cartoon Network Monday Night line up is intended for older kids (hense the PG rating... though I honestly feel Adventure Time and Mad can get away with a G rating), and most of the fans ARE indeed older teenagers and adults well into their 20's. I don't see why any kid under the...

    Some thoughts on Muppet Treasure Island

    The problem is, there WAS no place to put Piggy as far as the story go to begin with. Jerry managed to find a way to add her in, gender swapping a character and changing the character's role. I agree her role was kinda... well... contractually obligated in the film. Not her best one, but I'm...

    Kids' shows nowadays

    The Mr. Men Show was one of the few times I think changing the source material ever so slightly actually worked and gave us a unique product. The 90's series seemed to follow the book format more closely, and the cartoons were very good... the UK version has better voice acting and not a bunch...

    Frank Oz worked on a new Muppet movie script

    I don't know if it's the right time for Cheapest. That's a gamble. Too much of it works in a bizarre theater of the absurd kind of way, and it was just not a good enough (or maybe too good of) idea to launch the franchise on... It could work, but it's safer just to do another kind of movie...

    For Crying Out Loud, What is Wrong With You People?

    Only thing that really bugs me about digital download is how do I know if the file doesn't either completely download correctly or gets corrupted I can ask for a refund or get another download? What if I spend this money and for some reason, it doesn't work on my computer? At least with...
