Well, they also show original British stuff like Kirsty's Home Videos and The Football Years.

3) The Simpsons are run ad nauseum on TV here all the time, either in new episodes (Sky), recent series (Sky again) or older ones (Channel 4 is around season 3 or 4 I think, kind of like a syndication deal). Being nitpicky here, but as of today, Channel 4 have the rights currently to Seasons 1, 4-7...

From what we've heard, the movie is be re-tooled to combine CG with a "certain amount" of hand-drawn animation. I don't know what that means, but wouldn't it be cool to have a whole feature that looks as rich as the Steadfast Tin Soldier sequence in Fantasia/2000? Yummy... :) My guess is that it ma...

I think that the gap between theatrical and DVD releases could be widened, thus causing people to have more an urge to go to the movies. A lineup like in the olden days (aka theatrical shorts, "making of" pieces and featurettes could all feature as well as a feature film), causing there to be a desi...

Ben, what have I told you about eating home video formats?

I saw this movie on Saturday and I have to say that I liked it. I wasn't expecting a totally stimulating experience, and my expectations were generally met. Yet this isn't really a bad thing, as it's just an entertaining flick to pass the afternoon with. Plus, it's waaay better than most blockbuster...

What about the Reluctant Dragon clips?

I don't know if anybody read about this on Ultimate Disney, but DVD sets of Darkwing Duck and Tale Spin are coming out on August 29th. These sets are supposed to be similar in structure to the DuckTales and Rescue Rangers box sets (three discs holding 20-30 episodes), but these sets will contain the...

ughhhh this is all sooo confusing! so this is technically going to be a miramax film right? wich means now they're going to spice it up a little? i like the idea to it though... sounds intresting and a tad of cuteness rolled into it also... It's going to be made and released in a similar way to how...

What exactly did Steve Jobs say? (ie: please find me the quote that contains his poo-pooing of Disney)

It's coming (at least to Region 1) on August 15th! I'm really looking forward to this; I really want to see all these classic episodes again (most I haven't seen in years now).

BTW this is off-topic but did you know Brad Bird personally directed "Krusty Gets Busted" from the first season, and co-directed "Like Father, Like Clown" from Season 2? (With Krusty's Rabbi father) Pretty cool. :) It's actually one of the earlier episodes in Season 3. Brad Bird was, in the first e...

The Wizard of Oz and The Frog Prince would make great animated films. Audiences might not go for TWoO, though - it would be hard to beat the original. That's the number one problem for a film of The Wizard of Oz ; the 1939 film has become so iconic that people will make comparisons and dub it a "re...

There are a number of things that I'd love to see Disney make as animated films; The Wizard of Oz, The Frog Prince, George's Marvellous Medicene and Tom Thumb are all examples. As fan fiction, I'm coming up with my own adaptations for these. I would love to see The Wind in the Willows. Although it m...

I don't see why even the whingiest of conservatives object to environmentalism. Unless they're either beneffiting from mucking the environment or taking the Ann Coulter route (aka the "twist religion to your own liking" route :roll:), I can't see why they could object to environmentalism. I guess it...
