Other than the fact SS rarely features hitting, having Ernie get hit with anything is like having anvils fall on the Road Runner. Ernie is the instigator, and has been since his inception. Comedically speaking, it just couldn't work. If anyone would get injured in the skit, it would be Bert...

Guy Smiley was just recast, and actually featured, as a surprise, as a main player in a main street story. And it took them over 15 years for a solid recast of the character.... as Dave Golez said, a character has to come deep from a performer, and finding a new actor to play a role means that...

As I said, I really, really don't want to turn a tribute thread into a rant, but the way Disney is treating the characters that built the empire they are today is a crime. I really think that Wayne played Mickey during some of the best Mickey and Co projects we've seen... Mouse Works, House...

I always felt the relationship needs to be in between those 2 extremes. Somewhere along the lines of Kermit and Piggy feel things for each other, but Kermit doesn't want Piggy to know he shares those feelings. Yet, he does genuinely care about her, and when brought up in the context of an...

Anyone have the Placido Flamingo "Peligro" opera?

Know which one of those drug commercials I liked? There was this one that was done in very Terry Gilliam-esque animation, and I believe it had John Cleese (or someone who sounded exactly like him). And I remember the line..."[if you look in the mind of a druggie], in fact, you might not find...

Featured is the key word. They could just as easily have Ben Stiller or someone walk by the display case/stand/whatever (I ain't never been to the Smithsonian, so I can't tell) where those characters are. Or maybe have brief, breif walking around cameos. That said, if this movie were...

Wonder if they don't have any that aren't on the Putamayo Kids CD/DVD.... here's Ricas Fruitas from Plaza Sesamo.

And at least they're trying to get these out.... looks at Darkwing Duck's 2 and only volumes and moans what could have been.

I always felt that MTM was The Muppet Movie in reverse. And... maybe sideways. Instead of meeting up, they actually break up. It's a pretty lame recreation of how things were on The Muppet Show, when their relationship was crucial to several storylines... I always felt the movies showed...

The Louis/Janine thing is delegated to the movie Ghostbusters 2, where they are obviously a couple... especially in the Babysitting scenes. As for the cartoon series, they made and hinted at an Egon/Janine relationship in the first several seasons up until the release of GB2, where it seems...

Kinda stinks... I would hope that they'd have something with Louis and Janine's relationship... i.e. they married and settled down. Unless they plan to use that Real Ghostbusters/Extreme Ghostbusters thing where Janine is in love with Egon, which really wouldn't make any sense. Oh, and I would...

I remember hearing what Dave Golez said about how puppeteers actually don't like having to replace anyone else's characters, and I can see why. I think Eric is basically 75% there as far as Piggy goes, and I blame her over-diva-fication on the recent projects. We really had some off Piggy...

I think those have been out a while... but those Smurf ones are news to me, and I frequent Newburry Comics every weekend.

Without going off into a tangent, the past couple years have been a giant kick in the teeth for us animation fans... and we lost the voice of THE most famous cartoon character... and right during a time they were actually using him. Granted, it was for that clubhouse thing. Seems Disney was...

That's the sort of thing I hate. We have these movies that never were intended on being made, or at least weren't intended on being made right after the last one... everyone's so excited about the news it's happening, or going to happen... and all the sudden, even before it comes out, everyone...

Sigh... I thought that name sounded familiar. It's so sad we lost a voice acting legend... but I bet it's even sadder that Russi Taylor lost a husband. My thoughts go out to her and Wayne's friends and family. I will say to hear that the voice, albiet a recast, of the most famous cartoon...

There actually is a difference. Star Trek was reimagined for a new audience, Dragon Ball was a script option that was about to expire, and Fox didn't want the same thing that happened with Watchmen to happen here. Star Trek has a big blasting budget and a cast that resembles younger versions...

Again, the problem. I think it has enough classic material to keep it afloat, and I'm sure someone's gotta be making comic books and novels or something... but what gets me down about a lot of other franchises is when you have nothing but the reruns you've seen a hundred times, and it's past...

Hmmm.... I can say for seasons 35 and 36 they credited the company because it wasn't finalized until after they were both broadcast.... wonder why Follow that bird has it? Last few times I checked, I saw Muppets Inc or something like that on the current show.
