Thought the purpose was obvious:
If Princess/Frog was a deliberately Lasseter-defiant "Take THAT, Chicken Little!", then this new 60's-friendly Pooh is "Take THAT, Darby and Lumpy!"

Possibly. The only major difference is his style of bluntness over crypticness. Which I appreciate. Much easier to read. :P Nah, just trying his new teeth on "I hate Pixar, isn't that iconoclastic, isn't it, huh? :D " C'mon, this isn't Usenet.

Think most people are either unaware that the Archive exists, unless they're archivists like us who have pretty much accepted that if Warner releases anything vintage on DVD nowadays, it's going to be for the Archive. :| The prevailing mindset in which case is "Oh well, at least it's out ", and thos...

Classic Media doesn't give up on their x-produced live-action projects easily-- Look how tenaciously they plugged away at a Rocky & Bullwinkle, Mr. Magoo, and Underdog movie, before we got...whatever it was that we got. As for why we're getting this one NOW...guess Jeff got a little too envious of W...

Re:
From a friend I saw last night who has seen it at work (he's a lab technician and they get to check prints), the Green Hornet movie doesn't know what it wants to be: a straight comic book style actioner or a comedy. Sounds like Starsky And Hutch, which took a semi-serious concept and just added lam...

Re: RIP, Blake Edwards; Pink Panther director dies after illness
Thought Romance was the "lost" footage that was recycled into "Trail of the PP" after Sellers' death (and you can see the point twenty minutes in where imitators had to be called in to fill in the post-dubbing)-- Trail and Curse were actually planned as a closed two-part finale for Clouseau's charac...

Eric, I seriously have no idea where you're even getting this "information." I've even done a google search on the matter, and guess what I found? Nothing. Yes, there ARE some times when even Wikipedia is Better Than Nothing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_and_the_Chipmunks#The_Chipmunks.27_fut...

Re:
Nothing would please me more than to see the Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise be completely abolished, but the Bagdarsarians know they have a massive cash-cow on their hands and I doubt they would ever stop production on the third film. Playing devil's advocate here, but no, cancelling the "Alvin"...

Re: The NEW Muppet Movie
(Well, no, they didn't think the first film was as much of a hit, and we didn't get the posters/teasers for #2 until JUNE...That's the point. They wouldn't have gotten so arrogant about "their" franchise in the first place if the second film hadn't been a hit, and yes, I know the marketing's a year ...

Re: The NEW Muppet Movie
The way I heard it, the Bagdasarians had major legal property issues with Fox essentially taking over and marketing the franchise as their own after the second movie and not considering the Chipmunks as an existing pop group; there were "irreconcilable differences", and Ross Jr. pulled the character...

Re:
Don't think Lisa Henson was ever at Disney, Eric. You're getting confused with the split between Disney and The Jim Henson Co. I thought Brian was allowed to run the company, and Lisa was allowed to exploit the brandname for Disney projects--Where's the split? Just watch Fox plonk Alvin 3 into that...

Re: Family Guy

Just saying that if Seth's quest for the Next Shock seems a little "mean-spirited", it's only out of boredom-- He's always looking for that next adrenaline rush against society, which is...every few seconds or so. That's the general t...
