Well, I was talking movies (there's a lot of crap that popped up in the 90's, and Don Bluth productions get pigeon holed into crap like Thumbelina) but I'm no fan of anti-drug preachiness (once saw a Pup named Scooby-Doo episodes where the villain either dealt or sold drugs, but it was...

I think rehashing "Wonderful Life" outside of Christmas is at least a twist on that stupid chestnut. Of course, the whole fact of the matter that Rumpelstiltskin actually preventing the day of his birth instead of Shrek wishing he was never born (and rather one day where he was a monster feared...

Michael McKean made the episode so much funnier than it could have been, but even aside from that, the performance by Chris (when he was Chris the Rock, anyone else think he was doing his impersonation of a similar named comedian?) and Alan really sold this one. It didn't feel like the "keep...

The Sababa ones were about the same price, if nothing a little less than Manhattan until they started hitting bigger retailers, like Target. The Red, Gobo, and Wembley that came with DVD's sold at Target for 15, when they were going for 20 at smaller stores. The middle sized ones I only saw at...

Again, that is what's so strange about it. But I'm guessing that's why they didn't allow pictures. To make an educated guess about it, it seems like they produced the prototypes or test products, had them all ready to go to TF, and somehow, someone over their head made an executive decision...

Shrek 3 plays better on television, if you ask me. It has a DTV quality to the writing. There were some pretty good concepts in that one, especially the Princess liberation front (should have been the focus of the whole movie) and the villains trying to rewrite history to get their own happy...

Dreamworks has been pretty solid lately. Even Shrek 4 wasn't a pop culture fart feat that actually valued the plot over random idiocy. I don't completely know about Kung Fu Panda 2, but I was really on the fence about the first one when that came out. I was almost going to skip it entirely...

I really hope someone picks up a more figural license... or Manhattan makes these in smaller sizes, more in scale with the first Sababa run... that way, I could get a Mokey to finish off the Fraggle Five. I wonder if Schliech still has the molds... Oh well, I managed to snag an under 3...

Yeah, I find that strange too, since the movie was CLEARLY going to happen next year, no matter what. But I guess they wanted to be ready at a moment's notice. This isn't the same case of the Mindstyle Fraggle figures where they clearly were out of the loop as far as movie info was, and...

You can never tell anything from a review, and I'm still going to see this. Of course, I think I really enjoyed Cars because I went in basically thinking very little of the film, and felt it was a pleasant surprise. Then I went to a MCD's that accepted gift cards so I could get one of the...

Toughpigs actually had an article about Toyfair earlier this year (still technically this year) right Here Again, it sounds like these were planned almost 2 years in advance of the film, and we'll no doubt see some of this stuff closer. And considering they have EVERY possible character...

Somehow, I don't feel the writer's comments of "He was my personal Walt Disney" is that authentic if his movie about him comes off with a "He was a TERRIBLE failure, even when he was successful" aesthetic bout the whole thing. Mark my words, I don't want some sugar coated lie, but I don't...

I finally got one of the Fraggle Rock season sets after a billion freakin years. Now I don't have to watch the same 6 episodes over and over for a Fraggle fix now. Unfortunately the repackaged first season doesn't have a track listing. The mock up of the notepad or whatever I can live without...

Again, I feel that the Pook-a-Looz line shouldn't have been cleared out long before Christmas. Other than FAO's expensive because it's exclusive Miss Piggy, that was it for the line (thankfully I got all 4 of them as of yesterday... I got Animal and Gonzo back in the summer when they were first...

All the floats were blink or miss, even the supposedly important Princess ones. I actually had to watch this because one of my relatives was supposedly in the chorus of that Ivankov (or whatever her name was) girl... we didn't gee him, though. Personally, I was much more surprised to see...

I love the comments on that one... all tantamount to "OH NOES! They're stomping creativity." I'm sorry... but creativity? The script was full of depressing Oscar bait and bleak Muppet Moments that look like BAD Robot Chicken sketches played at a dramatic angle. And they just skimmed...

Sad thing is, Walden Media would do a WORSE job! Make it look like it was a syndicated TV movie from the 90's, they would.

Come on! It's NBC... they have plenty of important other shows to show... like... uh... well they have a Christmas themed version of that terrible game show they aired over the summer that no one watched. So I'm sure the thought never occurred to them. And last year they showed it, without...

To be honest, an update of an old piece drained of it's satire for no specific audience will suck no matter WHO's writing it. I don't think we have all that much to worry about with them as the Muppet script writers. They couldn't possibly be any worse than ex-Simpsons people.

I really don't know how to feel about these new episodes made out of reruns and how they have all these new skits mixed in. The "new" Elmo steps in for Super Grover episode, we have an ACTUALLY new Two headed Monster skit about the number 10.
