True that. Why Australia, I wonder? :?

Hmph. I guess that settles it - there's got to be a special edition coming for those who wait. And if there isn't... someone in somebody's marketing department needs to have their head checked.

Wait... Rob Paulsen?

If that were true I would enjoy those commercials about 100x more. They already make me smile for being 2D.

Just because it's not rated R and dripping with gore and nastiness doesn't make it "family related." I think the best movies are the ones that are intelligent and enjoyable, but with nothing to shield the kids from if they decide to stumble in at any particular moment. Once you start dumbing stuff d...

Cool art! ...but I guess I'm in the dark as to what this would have been about. Must not be reading the right stuff, I guess. :P

I'd love to see DW do some more 2D stuff like Prince of Egypt or Spirit. In spite of the story issues Spirit had, it was absolutely beautiful to watch.

I do like Arthur as a show (probably one of the few kids' shows that I can still sit through at my age, whenever my younger siblings happen to be watching it) and it seems I caught part of this CG thing while randomly watching TV this week. It has Arthur losing his dog, right? Well... it was only OK...

Oh, there are several I know are on TV right now, off the top of my head. And about 99% of them are awful, so naturally you don't really hear about them.

I'd really like to see a well-done CGI TV series, though. Just to prove that they don't have to be bad.

I recently got Secret of Nimh on DVD, and it's awesome. I've even come to terms with the weird mystical element that was added to the original story (which is still one of my favorite books), just because I love the rest so much.

Character posters, then... These are large, but hooray for detail! :P Leonardo Raphael Donatello Mich(a)elangelo Now, while I've lost my ability to choose a favorite Turtle... the Raph poster is definitely the coolest.

You've got to be kidding me. A one-disc crap release?! With just about nothing on it? And they expect to sell this thing for $30.00 ? Congratulations, Disney... you just lost the money I probably would have spent to get a proper Pixar 2-disc release, with all the fixin's. And even though I'm a poor ...

I hope it does. I liked Turtles 1 the best because it had real drama in it and emphasized Raphael's character as being different from the others. Agreed. The second movie is fun, but not nearly as deep - the first movie nailed the family dimension I think is pivotal to TMNT. (even though Leonardo a...

25) You borrow a special edition DVD and spend much more time on the concept art, rough tests, and "making of" than watching the actual movie. 26) You stop movies right in the middle to watch things frame by frame. Which drives your family/friends crazy. 27) You've explained the whole Oswald the Luc...

I have to admit, I liked "One Man Band" better on the second viewing. It's odd, Jake, how many of your points against Cars I can agree with (or at least nod to), and yet I still enjoyed the movie enough to see it a second time. It's not my favorite of Pixar's (that goes to The Incredibles) but it's ...

I agree. As much as I admire John Lasseter and what he's accomplished, it seems a bit early to be throwing phrases like "the new Walt" around. He's got a great start, but let's not forget the awesomeness and duration of Walt's legacy. For that matter, let's not forget all the other people at Pixar w...

From what I heard, he had the dialogue recorded, but no additional stuff... meaning that they either are stuck with what they have or have to find a reasonably good double to do any additional/changed lines.

Bummer.

Ohhh man. March cannot come soon enough. As I expected, it ain't Pixar or DW. But it ain't bad either. THIS is the sort of tone that was part of the pre-80s-toon comic book. This is what the TMNT should always have been. Nice animation (not counting that one odd strike-a-pose-against-the-moon hold),...
