I guess the reason why Baby Piggy was voiced by a woman instead of a man was to make her sound younger. And Baby Skeeter was always voiced by a man. Frank Welker made a better Skeeter than Howie Mandel did, IMO. I've noticed that Baby Piggy and Baby Gonzo's voices sometimes sound very...

Spumco's animation was really good, too. It was practically done in full animation! I know that many of DiC's cartoons in the 1980s and some in the 1990s were outsourced to Japan. Usually it was Tokyo Movie Shinsha, like on "Inspector Gadget," "Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats," "The...

Well that's because Marvel didn't produce the special. It was mainly done by Southern Star Productions, and the overseas animation studio was Wang Film Productions in Taiwan. The regular Muppet Babies series' overseas studios were Toei (1984-1987) and Akom (1987-1991). I DID notice that the...

The Terrytoons stopped in 1968. The last one was DePatie-Freleng, they did original theatrical cartoons up till 1977! Close second was Walter Lantz's studio at Universal, lasting until 1972. Warner Bros. Animation's original run lasted until 1969 (their last cartoon was called "Injun Trouble"...

I hope the new Goofy short is good. When I first heard the Disney studio was going to make new theatrical animated shorts, my mind flashed back to 2003, when Warner Bros. Animation tried to bring back the classic Looney Tunes characters in brand-new theatrical shorts as a cross-promotion to the...

I saw that concept picture for "Up." The animation looks really good, and Disney-like as well! If they can do great CGI films, I am sure Pixar can do great traditional-animated films as well. It'll be good to see them do some variety.

I bet if Pixar did a movie in hand-drawn animation, it'd still be hyper-successful. But that would be good. Maybe they'll experiment by doing a short in hand-drawn animation before going to do a full-fledged film.

"Chicken Little" was basically trying to imitate DreamWorks. I'm glad this phase Disney's doing will roll over next year with their upcoming "Rapunzel" movie.

I guess they should've made a better trailer for "Ratatouille." Sort of like the beginning of the "Simpsons Movie" trailer (parodying CGI), where it starts with a narration and writing on the screen (with quick cuts or Remy) saying something like... "Once upon a time... there was a set of...

Ah. Man, if Pixar DID make one of those talking-animal films like the ones I described, I'm gonna lose my mind! :zany: I guess it was the fact that the trailers and ads for "Ratatouille" showed a lot of slapstick rat scenes just scared me away from seeing it, having seen so many ads for...

I seem to be the only one that noticed that an unfortunate trend Hollywood's been doing since 2001 is doing CGI animated movies where the main characters are talking animals! These films often have celebrity/big name actors in the voice cast, crude "Ren and Stimpy"-style humor, pop songs...

I imagine they just edited it onto the sketches that didn't have the opening logo. They did that with a few regular News Flash segments that didn't have the intro.

I think Don Music's funny. I picture this scenario from little kids watching him... Don Music: Oh I'll never get it, oh I'm sorry Ludwig, OH! (BAAAAAAAAAANG!) Kids Watching: Hey, let's bang our heads! (BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!) :zany: Actually, the Don/Kermit segments aren't neccesarily...

I didn't know about a Chris Cerf song called "Get Out and Stay Out." The song was actually mainly sung by a firefighting wolf that was voiced by Jerry Nelson! :D It seems that it could be one of those animated remakes of old Sesame songs with Jerry singing it.

The Herry puppet was also often used for the Big Bad Wolf as well. I think by the late 1970s, Herry was supposed to be Jerry Nelson's main character, until the Count stole much of Herry's thunder (pun intended! :zany: )

I still say "Family Guy" should do a parody of "Sesame Street News," "Monsterpiece Theater" or "The Adventures of Super Grover!" They could even recreate their title cards and (hopefully) get Jerry Nelson to do the announcer voices for the respective parodies.

I loved Richard Hunt's performance in "Letter B." It was his best song he ever sang.

Maybe I'll have the adult Muppets for "The New Scooby-Doo Movies" :) BTW, I also did "Mine Your Own Business" as well

Another entry in my Scooby-Doo/Muppet Babies crossover series, this one is "Decoy for a Dognapper." The voice cast includes the same cast from "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" and "Jim Henson's Muppet Babies," with Dave Coulier as Baby Animal and Baby Bunsen, and Frank Welker does quadruple-duty as...

I think "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" was featured in an episode with the Count's Countketeers.
