Oh no... these aren't mine. These are mbfan07's He used to be on Dailymotion, until they started rejecting and deleting his videos. Now he's exclusively on Youtube.

I guess it depends on the company. Mattel is pretty much the Ernie/Elmo/Cookie group. They do have merchandise that's just starting to feature Oscar, as well as Bert and sometimes Grover. There was a set of PVC's available at the dollar store (by a company I forget the name of. it's the...

And to detract first time parents from buying anything and everything with the SS label on it so they can quite down the baby for 2 minutes...

I will say, under Disney Doug had merchandising and a movie. Plus, without cable, I could actually watch this one on a regular basis. That said, the Nick version was much better. Plus, I hated the second Doug voice. I really wish they let Billy West continue his characters. I could really...

I have to disagree on that count there.... the "modern audiences" want to see these cartoon characters as flat CGI's against a live action back drop. That's why this was DTV, and the horrible one where Garf looked like a horrible cartoon/live action Cross breed. In fact, i'd rather have seen...

Pretty much the only 1970's Tatsunoko productions cartoon the US ever got. Europe got the others, including Time Bokan and Yattaman. There is an OVA, long out of print, however, that was relased on the US market of Time bokan. The Battle of the Planets team had a brief cameo, as did other...

Exactly the point. That is part of the reason why making characters who aren't white and male are so difficult. If you add any personality to them, it's deemed racist or sexist. Which is why Token females or non-whites are just that. Devoid of personality out of fear of retaliation. I...

Yeah. I mean, I love Jerry, but Snuff clearly wasn't the character for him. He made him way too depressing, and I thought that snuffy wasn't as developed as Marty's. As I said, he took the character from being an Eeyore type to more of a pal for Big Bird... you know, the kind of wacky friends...

I thought that Lassiter was supposed to have changed that. I heard he was the new head of the animation wing, and he was going to make sure they would still do a few 2-D's. It's a real shame we have to get nothing but CGI... I'm hideously disappointed we didn't even get a small release of...

I agree that it's still a newer form of animation. It was pioneered longer than any of us think. But we sure have come a long way, especially in recent years. Toy Story 1 doesn't look half as polished as Toy Story 2, and that was pretty much a 4 year period. I think CGI has gone from the...

The changes don't have to be in recent years to be liked. Things changed subtly in the course of the show. And then a few major ones here and there. My other favorite Change? Roscoe Orman- Now, I have no problems with Matt Robinson or Hal Miller, but to be sure, I think Roscoe is just...

If it were up to parental groups like that, all cartoon characters would be devoid of personality. That's what they want, because the personality of any cartoon character can be seen as negative. Daffy isn't Daffy unless he's either crazy as a loon or greedy as heck. Donald is not Donald...

And let's not forget, he's the go to guy in Hollywood when a movie studio needs animal noises for big budget films. He was in George of the Jungle amongst other things, and you would probably never have known he was there. He is extreemly gifted, and can do any animal sound dead on. His...

I don't know. I don't know if I'd call him the Mel Blanc of Muppets.... I'd call him the Paul Frees of Muppets (Blanc and Frees are my 2 favorite voice actors of all time, BTW). Here's my reasoning. Blanc did absloutely everyone's voices in the Looney Tune Cartoons. Absolutely everyone...

Ah, yes. The new Bullwinkle show. It was to be animated by the facilities of DePatie Freling. There was also another revival in the form of a Super Bowl special, but do to the fact it had negative caracatures of the NFL team owners (and some meathead asked for permission from the NFL) it...

Maestro, I sent you a PM. I have Mary had a Bicycle (and indeed, i just listened to it) so if you gimme you're e-mail, I'll send it.

Hmm... one of the moderators should merge this thread with the other....

They couldn't even have done that in the 70's. Anyway, A, this is old news, so I don't think SW has changed their minds since, and B... well, how many times has a foreign character actually come to Sesame? Abelardo was the only one. Even with Shalome Sesame (refering to the American...

BUMP Gonzee's Playhouse is now on Youtube... Part 1 part 2 part 3 Soon I shall make a General Episode discussion thread so as not to clutter up the board with single episodes.
