    New Sesame website coming soon

    Looks like some promotional tool that will be on a DVD or something.

    Traditional Animation: The Return

    Personally, I liked Shrek. But I think their best work was Over the hedge. But then again, Shrek was good enough for only 3 movies... maybe less than that. I'm curious to see the Puss in Boots film they want to make... but I'd rather see the Toei animation classic version of Puss in Boots...

    Elmo in Grouchland: Kinda disappointing.

    The problem is this... it was an idea that sounded so good, that it wasn't as good as it turned out to be. Think about it. Tickle Me Elmos were selling left and right. he was starting to have his own segment on SS... a film seemed like the next step, right? But what you stated is exactly the...

    what was Charles Grodin famous for?

    Let's not forget.... he was in the movie Beatovin... you know. That one about the giant, messy Saint Bernard?

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    You know, The Weinstines would be absolutely perfect. What with thier Genius Entertainment distributing SW's videos, the Fractured Fables (or whatever it's called), and this, they clearly wans a partnership with Henson (and technically SW). It's only fitting a not quite independant/not quite...

    Breaking news! New Electric Company Series from PBS

    Where the heck is this quote? Sounds rediculous, though... I wouldn't rule out something using HSM as a satirical tool. A Parody or something like that. This program will reflect the times as clearly as TEC reflected the 70's and Square One reflected the 80's. So, I wouldn't rule out...

    *Sigh* It's That Time of the Decade Again...

    Kinda reminds me of the Ducktales episode "the Big Flub" (which I just watched, otherwise I wouldn't have brought it up). Basically, Fenton Crackshell made all these commercials before there was a product, causing an amazing buzz about it, but when the product came out, it was a huge disaster...

    Saturday Morning memories thread

    I gotta admit. Looking back, I don't think I liked most of anything from the 1970's. I've said this before, but cartoons were a wash in cloning Archie or Scooby Doo (who, incidentally was intended as a knockoff of the Archie in its earliest incarnation), cartoonifying pointless fads du jour...

    The Chipmunks' Triumphant Return

    I would like to point out this last paragraph invalidates the first thing you said, because, well... The Christmas, Halloween, and movie specials are actually on DVD, and have been for some time. Those I wouldn't mind not seeing. It's the 1980's rare episodes they don't have available anywhere...

    Traditional Animation: The Return

    Well, personally it didn't matter if it was her or someone else... I just felt like too much time was spent on the talking animals, and not enough was spent on the Tarzan Legend. Plus, they totally massacred the book. Not surprising, since Disney always does thier own thing. But Tarzan is a...

    PROTECT your creations!

    I swear, there is less and less reason for anyone to be creative anymore. Cartoonists are clearly unwanted (no thanks to Tween coms brainwashing kids to grow up fast), and it's impossible for them to get a foot in the door anyway. Now this just adds an extra slap in the face. The era of the...

    Elmo in Grouchland: Kinda disappointing.

    I said it before... a movie focussing on Grover. A Super Grover superhero parody movie would be perfect this day and age (with Marvel diving into their more obscure reserves... and succeeding recently).

    The Chipmunks' Triumphant Return

    It seems to me like someone else is pulling them down, not just Greed Bros. I mean, Incompitant Bros. I mean, can't turn a profit due to highering people who don't give a crap Bros. I mean Warner Bros. WB has no jurisdiction over Chipmunks go to the movies. The WB basically has...

    Truth commercial: Muppets & smoking

    It syncs up even better than Dark Side of the Moon! Wocka Wocka! Anyway, there is a thread just like this in the General Discussion area, about cartoons not being able to smoke anymore, including re-editing old cartoons to reflect that. And what hooey that is. Why should everything be...

    Elmo in Grouchland: Kinda disappointing.

    One other thing that was disappointing, the fact it didn't perform as well as they thought it would. I forget, didn't this movie just do fair at best? Since then, we haven't had a real Sesame Street Theatrical movie (not counting Kidtoons release of SS:Dinosaurs or the upcoming Abby in...

    The Sesame Street Scribbles

    You know what I mean by that, right? The occassional cartoon segment about little animated scribbles and wavy lines (and occassional zig zags) seen here Now, these ones always seemed to tickle my funny bone when I was much younger, especially the classic Excersize segment, which I remember...
