    The Good Dinosaur Trailer

    To give you an idea of how last minute some of the changes to the film was... well... Tomy has the toy license for Pixar films. Among other products, they have very small 2 piece figure sets. One of the sets features a Stegosaurus character that wasn't in the final product. There has to be...

    Uncle Grandpa

    Huh. So Cheesepuff Mike has a twitter. Wonder if it's made by the production team. If so, it makes that "Casey Alexander ruined Spongebob" post a delightful meta joke.

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    It is, but they could have easily turned Scooter into an unlovable jerk over it. But the writers prevailed and made the character endearing. Same deal, only with different effects with Fleet Scribbler. Had the writers not made him a one note passive aggressive caricature of tabloid reporters...

    Questions about anything

    She was obsessed with Pretty Pretty Pegasus since the beginning (first episode exactly, that's what the stupid sandwich plot was about, so she could get the other Titans out of the Tower to watch that) because it was a lame voice actor joke. Tara Strong is also Twilight Sparkle you see. And...

    Nature Cat: A New PBS Series from David and Adam Rudman

    Got a chance to see this and it's adorable. There's a nice level of sly humor in the show that keeps it from being too preschoolish, and using a cast of comedians as voice actors gives a nice punch to the characters. I love how Fred isn't as adventurous as he says he is, or really that...

    Top 9 TV Puppet Shows that Weren't Muppets

    All these big pop culture lists are essentially that. I'm kind of sick of them. I watched the Paley Center Funniest in Animation special, and while I know the voting was up to viewers, it really felt like the age of the main voting group is why the list ended up the way it did. They were...

    Sesame Street Season 46 Press Kit; HBO premiere set for Saturday January 16, 2016

    The Cookie Puppets were starting to get...odd. A couple of the Crumby Pictures Cookie Puppets were...off. The one they used for the full body shot in Biscotti Kid looked fine enough, until it had that close up of him falling off the rock and climbing up. And I hated the puppet they used for...

    Video: The Muppets "Single All The Way" Episode 10 Promo

    I was going to mention that myself. ABC's Tuesday line up is completely going on Winter hiatus. Especially S.H.I.E.L.D., which is going to make way for Agent Carter for a month and a half or so. S.H.I.E.L.D. is an important show to them. It's the supplementary fill in for the MCU, after all...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    I have to admit, I like neither. When Scooter first appeared, the whole "holding things over Kermit's head" bit just... it leaves a sour tone, and thankfully the writers abandoned it quickly on (or at least didn't bring it up so much). J.P. Grosse breathing down Kermit's neck was funny and...

    What's the weirdest movie you've ever seen?

    I saw clips of, but have no desire to see, one of the two Korean animated ripoffs of E.T. Yeah. 2 of them. One was called the Magic Pencil, and I saw bits of that. It's... icky. Just... ew. And it's impossible to find online, so that's one of the few times I'm grateful for that. There's...

    Top 9 TV Puppet Shows that Weren't Muppets

    Even if they were going for modern fare, there's a crapload of better puppet shows than Crank Yankers. The show is meh at best.

    Your Thoughts: Half-hour Sesame Street begins on PBS September 1, 2014

    I had a feeling that was a case. Pretty sneaky, but I guess unless anyone frequents TV listing sites, it doesn't really matter.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Proof I'm right about how the Thanksgiving Weekend is all or nothing... Even the biggest movie made barely over 18 Mil. Real shame that the timing isn't so good for Good Dinosaur. It was a fine film that was promoted to heck and back, but got lost in the shuffle because shopping takes...

    Commercial rant time...

    Side note. Nah, I don't believe Ronaldo Rump is so much racist as he knows his followers are, which is actually worse, but I'm not going to get into that. But that sounds like that great paradox where even PC isn't PC enough and you wind up becoming very UnPC to be PC. In other words, when...

    Crank Yankers gets on there, but not Time for Beany? Sounds legit.

    Sanjay an Craig: New Nick series

    I dunno what to think about them giving Huggle Bunny an origin. I kinda liked him being a strange, kind of creepy recurring gag. Then again, I loved the angle of him "gettn Money" for Huggle Day presents. Plus, having HB get disappointed by Sanjay and Craig double dipping completely destroys...

    SpongeBob SquarePants

    I'm glad there's a consensus that the episodes after the second movie were a huge bump in quality. I'd say that the two writers everyone hates moved on to other shows is probably another reason. I especially enjoyed the episode where Squidward had no friends to go to the art gallery (and...

    The Good Dinosaur Trailer

    I don't quite believe in star ratings. I go by comparative rating. I'd say my top 4 animated movies of the year would be Inside Out, Peanuts, Good Dinosaur and Minions. Probably in that order, but if it's a number ranking I'd tie Peanuts with Good Dinosaur. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed...

    Will HBO have any Classic Sesame Street episodes?

    Even if it is just the Netflix/Amazon/iTunes episodes...well... that's going to be the only place to see them once the deal takes place. :p The article is too vague to offer anything but hints. What I'd like to see with HBO's funding is a bigger staff at their archives, making the release of...

    When you need to rant...

    If we can't even pass a bill saying that those on the "Do not Fly" list can't purchase a gun, you know the lobby is too powerful. Obviously, they not only give money to corrupt politicians, they also threaten to bury those politicians by funding another loyal minion if they don't give them...
