    The Chipmunks

    That sounds highly DTV quality. It's just cheapquels at this point. Seriously, these idiotic concepts would work fine in the cartoon series (they did some of that stuff before), but they just want money at this point.

    WHOA! That never EVER happened. There are 3 families in the show... One's a traditional family with a husband and wife that love each other very much, and their 3 kids. The second is a homosexual couple and their adopted Asian child The third is actually the father of the mother of the...

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

    Floyd... take it from me. It ALWAYS has been. I swear that the last generation of parents raised a generation of spoiled brats who got every Transformer and Ninja Turtle they released (who threw them away the second they got bored with them and set them on fire when they were teenagers) who...

    The Muppets 2011 DVD details

    I'm done too. Clearly asking from sympathy from owners of this premium format is like asking Sneakers O'Toole to take off his sneakers. We get that you have the premium format. Please respect the fact that those without it feel completely left behind by in bed studio politics that lead to...

    The Muppets 2011 DVD details

    Yes, but it's also needing a high quality TV system with a high quality sound system for it to make a difference. That's all about choice. If people want to make every movie they watch an "experience," fine. I HAD my experience... I went to an actual theater and had an audience reaction...

    Considering who created Yo Gabba Gabba, I'd tend to give the show a chance. it does look like something mid 00's hipsters watched with their kids. But Barney disgusts me on every level. The kids can't act and are forcibly stuck with frozen happy faces, most of the music is public domain songs...

    Yeah... there's also some 1970's show with a Robot (I wanna say Robocon, but I have to double check) that looks like it too. Point is, it is stylistically different to those Sid and Marty shows like Puffenstuff. I really do like the Yo Gabba Gabba character designs, but never actually saw an...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 42

    Yeah. I felt it was either her stuff, someone with a similar style. If there's one thing Sesame Street needed it was new animators making new number and letter segments. The Aniboom turned out to be a real boon for that. Said woman (who's name I don't know) should be a fixture in every way...

    HEH! Work It's been Canceled!

    Just for the sake of conversation... does anyone actually watch "the Chew?"

    The Muppets 2011 DVD details

    Anything I could tell you would be conspiracy theory... but my guess is this... The general public probably doesn't buy that many Blu-Rays. When Borders was going under, the Blu-Ray DVD's were on clearance at a higher rate than regular DVDs, and yet they managed to move slower than the regular...

    All the complaining in the world isn't going to change the Techno- Sneetch culture who thumb their stars upon thars up everyone else's noses. It's all about how fast and how high def things are. I'm going to have to break down and buy a disk I can't watch in hopes that some day I'll be able to...

    Anyone Find The Lack Of Muppet Merch Disturbing?

    http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Pez Someone said that they found them, but I haven't yet. I did find 2 new Star Wars Pez at Target (Darth Maul and a re-sculpted Yoda) and of course the Valentines ones... but the Muppet ones haven't come around to me just yet. But we're usually the last to get...

    It wasn't in the film, though... so it's a moot point. Like how Oogie Boogie was actually Dr. Finklestine in NBX... just a small alternate gag line. It works on that level. Fozzie's always VERY behind in humor techniques. The Shrek movies killed the fart joke, so much in fact the last film...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 42

    See? Isn't it so much better when Elmo emotes? Why doesn't he get this angry or frustrated more often? And great bits by Cookie and Grover. Only complaint is that Abby's only there for the sake of Abby being there. It would have worked just as well with Zoe, but at least it shows he can get...

    Anyone Find The Lack Of Muppet Merch Disturbing?

    Seems that they're looking towards Europe for that kind of Muppet domination. If that means the movie will get an additional couple of million, at least Europe will get some great stuff. We can always trade with/buy from them. Still, anyone even found the Pez yet? Everywhere I go they're...

    Think of it this way... I could imagine the scene being just when they're forced to leave the theater after the tally's decimal point is realized. It's a somber realization, but Fozzie's still behind the stage trying to get those shoes off. Tex snarls at him, and a very dejected Kermit...

    Are the Buddies Ever Gonna be Put to Sleep?

    Quite good. It was the product of some high ranking 1990's animation writers. At least, I remember Chris Otsuki (SP) wrote the lyrics for the songs. It's really what Mickey and Co SHOULD be doing instead of the Dora-esque ghetto of faux interactive slow talking kiddy faire. As much as I hate...

    No because that meant it served a purpose and was a plot point. Anything offensive, gross, or in other ways overused, if used correctly can work. Still, the consumption of feces in The first Chipmunks movie and Hop are absolutely the least tasteful thing in children's films today.

    Are the Buddies Ever Gonna be Put to Sleep?

    I hate Babe, myself... if I wanna see a talking pig... well, that's a thought we don't need me to finish on a Muppet site :mad:. not very big on talking animal movies at all, unless said animals are anthropomorphic. I'd say it's some sort of blastardization of Air Buddies and National...

    This is what Yo Gabba Gabba is emulating: Not quite in the same subtext or content, but the style is supposed to mimic 1970's Japanese children's shows. Pretty sure I didn't see that episode. And I've seen all of them. If it has anything to do with Jay's relationship, it's all something...
