    Sesame Street Season 41 Press Kit

    Oh, people are freaking prudes. Kids that young don't know what that stuff is, or care what it's for. Heck, if she were fully naked it would still be cleaner than half the stuff kids are exposed to in school and in real life. :sympathy: Love of Mike, people... they gave Richard Pryor a...

    The Scrooge McDuck/ Ducktales appreciation thread

    I love Donald, but to fully appreciate the character, again we must turn to the comics. The character is a LOT more complex (they were going to water down Scrooge's personality for a series of cartoons in the 50's that were never made, what does that tell you?). In Scrooge McDuck comics, he...

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    Well, even if Angelo had to be in the series and was created anyway, they really aren't giving him a chance to really develop into anything more than the standard cooking show sidekick. I think Tyler's having as much fun with the role as they'll let him. But I want to see him, if they ever...

    The Scrooge McDuck/ Ducktales appreciation thread

    Toon Disney was pretty much turning into XD the last few years. Things are bound to be wrong when you start airing Warner Bros cartoons on a Disney owned network (especially since Disney couldn't WAIT to get the Bugs and Tweety show off ABC after the purchase in the 90's). XD is pretty much...

    Sesame Street Season 41 Press Kit

    Outside of the press release, with only a week to go, Sesame Street posted preview clips up on Youtube. Here are a couple I really enjoy: The Hop this Way parody of Aerosmith's Walk this Way (seems to also incorporate the Run DMC/Aerosmith version) An Outstanding Oprah cartoon parody...

    What Is Considered A Muppet?

    I really don't know. Let's just not consider the fact that Muppet may be a term that Disney took, taking it away from Henson, where Fraggles are considered Muppets. They have a distinct Muppet look to them, and they are digitally puppeteered the same way remote physical puppets that are...

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    All I can say about it is... imagine if they got TMS to do the outsourced Japanese animation instead of Toei. The stuff they've done with Ducktales, Tiny Toons, and even Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (ironically, since they also did Sonic x years later for Japan) was amazing. Toei seemed a...

    Underrated Movies

    Sigh... to get the DVD you'd have to have joined the super collector club or something (some dumb Disney movie collection thing) as it was an exclusive. Yet, all the OTHER collector club exclusives DID manage to pop onto general retail. That is VERY disappointing considering the popularity...

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    Well, the problem with Clifford in MT was basically the fact that they really didn't know what they were doing WITH MT in the first place. After all, it came at a confusing time when they didn't know how much they wanted to use Kermit in a project, hence his less than major roles in MCC and...

    Underrated Movies

    It was a formula I WISH they found sooner. Much MUCH sooner. Releasing these smaller DTV things theatrically during winter vacation got them a small period where the film would do good enough. Imagine if they came to that after Ducktales didn't do as well as they wanted it to do. Why, we...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Didn't EMI Pubshishing Insanely Small Part OF the World block Disney's official Bohemian Rhapsody Muppet video at one point? It's not going to happen here, SW would contest it for sure... but I really would love to see all these companies stomping on each other's foots until they get their...

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    Well, the ones that really seemed to stick were Pepe, Johnny, Sal, VanNeuter (at least for MFS and a game show appearance), and Bobo. We did, unfortunately lose VanNeuter and Sal to Brian's unavailability. We also had a lot of dud characters come out of MT. So new characters always have a...

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    As for the Swedish Chef, he CAN fit into the current format, if they just change the run time. When it comes down to it, I REALLY hate the 5 minutes, commercial (that completely ruins the loading of the episode online anyway), and one more minute... adding an extra minute near the end would...

    The Scrooge McDuck/ Ducktales appreciation thread

    Ducktales was basically Gyro's time to shine. He was never given a major cartoon role before or after that, only having a Will Ryan voiced cameo in the short "Sport Goofy" pre-Ducktales... and his last appearance in an animated medium was in the Donald Duck game Goin' Quackers. Ludwig VonDrake...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    That really gets me (though I don't think I've actually seen his videos). Lionsgate thinks they own full clips because small portions of them have been released with 2 DVD's that actually have small bits of Sesame Street clips in them that were in TV specials owned by Henson. It really ISN'T...

    Which 2010 Virmup video should win the next Webby?

    I tend to think out of all of them, American Woman is highly underrated. It's a great video, and it showcases a character that ISN'T the Chef or Beaker. I love those characters, I do... but it seems those are the only ones (with Animal) people seem to generally want to watch. Pop corn was...

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    The more I think about it... I really don't think the Swedish Chef would work quite as well in the situation as everyone thinks he would. Here's why. Considering this IS in fact an informative show, we need to get the information out. And the Chef isn't funny because he talks gibberish in a...

    Overrated Music

    Definitely. Something tells me that Disney wanted to start up the Country Music being cool again fad, and having a country singer's daughter in the title role (and putting him in the series... right?) was a no brainer. That's what really bugs me about the whole thing. The fact that they made...

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    That's the problem I have with the project, even though I do enjoy it. The problem is that it IS a cooking show, and even then they only BARELY mention the recipes, with cards at the bottom. The wacky Muppet segments make this a million times better than what it is, and I give it credit for...
