Thanks. I guess that November/December is too close to the release date of the Christmas Pez... I hope these are going to be world wide... as a Pez collector, I know there are certain licenses they only award to Europe. Luckily the Disney license more or less comes to the US (with the...

Didn't Rowlf dream about becoming a werehuman back on an episode of Muppet Babies?

It depends on if Romney gets the nomination or not. If he doesn't, it might just be a fall... but I've seen the slimy campaigning techniques the guy's capable of... even when he dumped us to run off and run for President back in 2008 and had a puppet of his run for governor. My favorite was...

It really seems that Disney was trying to take a dive with Brother Bear and Home on the Range. They just wanted an excuse to dump 2-D traditional. I will say Brother Bear was kinda fun, at least it did Native American Legend better than that other film they did. I have no idea what Home on...

I can't recall if it was really life sized, but it was pretty big. They had Dug in a big plush (I wanna say around the size of the larger Muppet toys) and a very large one that cost I wanna say well over 30 bucks. It sold, but not all that well. it was never cleared out, but I can't imagine...

I really wasn't excited at all by the lackluster release of the 40th anniversary stuff. Though I did like the Oscar/Super Grover set.. the fact the Big Bird and Ernie set came with an Ernie I got years before for a buck at Target just soured me on the whole thing. There wasn't even an effort...

Over saturation kills character and waters down their legacy. Just ask any Sesame Street fan that blames Elmo for everything wrong with the show. I even had problems with Disney's treatment of Pooh in the 90's- early 00's where he was the only character you'd see... even over Mickey Mouse. It...

And that movie came in a distant second the weekend it was out! :) I saw posters depending on what theater I went to. 2 had it... the one I frequent more often doesn't, but it rarely has posters of upcoming movies displayed, but rather a lot of older movie posters... some cases really old (It...

I hope they are saving him for when the movie comes out. I noticed that as far as Cars 2 and Toy Story 3, most of the characters introduced in the movie didn't hit their stores until the movie... with the exception of Lotso, but they were trying to hype the character up. But I didn't see a...

Wow... they are really forcing this thing down everyone's throats if that's the plot. Seems like it Yeah... Ice Age had hardly any merchandise other than a BK kid's meal toy when it first came out... it had some hard to find plushes at Blockbuster... no one really seemed to jump on them...

Dog looks vaguely familiar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=031SDP33Zcg Actually, I like the stop motion puppet films... people just don't understand that "puppet" is the term for the inanimate sculptures they use for stop motion. They all refer to it as Claymation when there's very little that...

Heh... that's the only Walter we ever got. I really wanna see someone try a Dr. Teeth again. The Electric Mayhem mini-Plush set was actually pretty good considering how much detail you lose when something's that small. But Janice's Hair needed to be thicker (like Zoot's) and Zoot's hair...

I really think everyone in the past decade now was trying too hard to be Dreamworks. not Pixar... Dreamworks. They all wanted to come up with their own Shrek. And so all these little animation firms came out of the woodwork and made films ranging from almost as good to quite terrible. I must...

I also have to say, Monkees music is fun to listen to, it's a step up from Bubblegum Rock and some talented ghost writers wrote that music... but the show's amazing. You see all these shows about Pop singers today, none of them are fun to watch. They're trying too hard to be Saved by the Bell...

Indeed. That's why I say we'd never have someone with the vision to keep it going as long as it did. Mainstream consumers didn't care... and it's their loss. These things go for a fortune on e-bay depending on the character. But then again, there was a huge wave of other, more mainstream...

Thank Frogness they did! That's amazing. I'll say it again, YT has been a boon to Muppet fans. Those of us this side of the pond would never have seen it otherwise. I like it better than the AMC one. And they managed to mention the Sandra Bullock episode's Phenomenon gag too!

The problem I have with people going "anime" is that they tend to only do bishonen style, which is basically like drawing everything American style like 1960's Marvel comic super hero style. I wanna see someone go nuts and do an amazing Osomatsu-Kun/Tensai Bakabon type thing. You'll see...

Yeah, I heard that's the plan they wanted. To write their own live action movie and all. I really hope it turns out like a more ambitious version of "Grow Up Timmy." The same people working on it, and doing their best to keep the spirit of the cartoons. Though I hear they want Jim Carry as...

Exactly what I was saying. G-Force could have potentially been a marketing hit and a cartoon series or something had the movie not been a loud 3-D eye sore and fart fest (or they waited until after the Chipmunks surprise hit). They spent and entire several months clearing them out. Yet, they...

Naw... apparently Frank Miller went off the deep end and now he's cluelessly Islamophobic. Now, I can dismiss the rest of his "one person does it, so they're all exactly like it" painting with a brush and his bitter old fart "Git a hair cut yuh Hippie" stuff that all the same conservatives who...
