    Winnie the Pooh

    The first few were smashes, but somewhere in the middle, things started to lag... They did okay, but they never lived up to the first 3 until now. I think Craplight helped eclipse the last Harry Potter film's potential.

    2011 Muppet Movie plot officially announced

    That's what I'm hoping for. But still, I hate beating a dead horse, but not when the horse was wrongfully murdered... Canning the comic book to make reprint magazines was a DUMB idea. I know it clearly has something to do with the Pixar license being married to the Muppet one, but canning the...

    Muppet Babies DVD Box Sets

    I've been ranting for years, Disney isn't the only company. ALL major studios hate DVD box set releases. At least with MGM they put the Bill and Ted cartoon, even the DIC series on hulu instead of digging a pit, burying it deep and saying "watch our reality shows." WB refuses to finish...

    Spierigs OFF POTDC

    I'd say DinoTrain. That seems to be giving it some funding. Seems like the ONLY Henson projects come out in comic book form, unless it's a CGI cartoon show. Among other things, Henson doesn't have a fraction of the money it would take to get ANY of the big projects off the ground, but they...

    Winnie the Pooh

    That one did well, no question... but the last 2 or 3 before it came and went without much of a bang. But really... their own Cars 2 out did Winnie the Pooh several weeks in. Yeah, I totally think this will be one of those times where the DVD will basically have to make up the budget...

    Muppet Babies DVD Box Sets

    I fail to see why more companies don't flock to hulu or something. I mean, you can't make money off of something if you're sitting on it. There's so many Disney TV cartoons that will just disappear completely. I don't see why DVD releases will kill them. I'm furious they not only didn't...

    NEW Muppet Poster

    I'm so glad that they didn't shove Justin in this film at all. Other than Disney putting 2 brief cameos of their "stars" which I still object too, seems the writers had the pull to get as many of their friends and big names possible to cameo in this one. Yeah, no Rob...

    The Smurf's Triumphant return!

    Part of me even wonders why they're still doing comic book movies period. Comic book geeks ALWAYS whine about how they're not consistent with their completist collection (and then again, they complain about the directions the comics are taking anyway... nothings' ever good enough for them...

    2011 Muppet Movie plot officially announced

    It's not time to declare until the movie's out. I see what you're getting at. Everytime Disney starts getting some momentum on something with the Muppets, they immediately pull it back. No virals, no new comics, there's been nothing since the movie finished wrapping. Again, I have a feeling...

    Winnie the Pooh

    Uh, people animate on computers... even 2-D traditional has computer coloring and editing. Cels have been obsolete since the late 90's.

    The Muppet Mindset

    The Muppet ones are okay... but THIS ONE really made me laugh.

    Winnie the Pooh

    I really think it came out at a weird time... though, didn't the last crop of Potter movies do only so so? It was a wonderful movie and had a wonderful animated short at the beginning, and had it been released a certain time of a big blue poop, I'd have no doubt it would have done better...

    Muppet Babies DVD Box Sets

    Actually, it's harsh to just blame Disney... ALL major studios HATE the idea of DVD box sets that aren't sitcoms that you can watch on television or online legally for free. I mean, current shows are like 40-60 bucks each, and for the most part, cartoons can range from 15 bucks to maybe 40 at...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I wonder if it's both SW's low budget and WHV's general... I dunno... screwy-ness... I mean, WHV has a history of releasing unfinished DVD sets, lame single disk releases that no one actually buys, refusal to pay the extra bit for special features when they DO release a box set and just...

    2011 Muppet Movie plot officially announced

    It seemed that movie specific Pooh stuff just popped into Disney stores (again, that's kinda tricky... but they have Owl and Rabbit stuff that they'd never have before), and even with Cars, I haven't seen anything with the new characters specifically until the movie came out. Of course, thanks...

    D23 Expo: Muppet news and happenings

    Plush is a no-brainer... action figures seem to be kind of a stretch. It isn't exactly the same toy market as it was 10 years ago that the epic toy line from Palisades flourished in. I'm sure we'll see something good, though. I would be happy with a Deluxe PVC set like TS3 and Cars 2 got.

    Why people dislike modern Sesame Street

    Maybe it's budgetary reasons, but I haven't seen them get out of the street and go to another location (real or fictitious) in years. Closest thing was a couple years ago when they went to Mother Goose's Nursery School or Kindergarten or whatever it was. And that really seemed like it was a...

    NEW Muppet Poster

    I've brought this topic up before and I get the general fan consensus that NO ONE likes Muppets and Photoshop together. Sadly, the movie poster is one of the GOOD ones. Relatively, that is... Too many times they shove too many characters into too many posters and puzzles. I don't care if...

    Someone screaming for Jem DVD's?

    Years ago. in 2 sets. I'd be surprised if they don't sell for a fortune on amazon by now. That was pretty long ago. Wow. I'm a fan of a lot of obscure 80's cartoons and shows Family Guy has yet to reference...so you know they are rather obscure:) Again, I say thank goodness for torrent sites...

    The Smurf's Triumphant return!

    It was, however, one of the first to do so. If not the first. Now, had the cartoon world BEEN the real world in the first place it would have flowed better. Though I did dig some of the Hollywood inside jokes, like the Greenlight and the "No Moose pictures!" bit. Plus the useless junk on the...
