Shame if Snoopy: The Musical isn't included, although I guess I could purchase that separately. It's one of the best specials with a terrific soundtrack, including what might be the best-known Peanuts song (and famously Jim Henson's favorite). I actually don't own any of the Peanuts specials on disc...

Cool, but when is that Casper movie reboot announced in 2011 coming?

Peanuts: 75th Anniversary Collection coming with 40 TV specials… https://screen-connections.com/2025/07/29/peanuts-75th-anniversary-ultimate-tv-specials-collection-blu-ray-dvd-release-details/ No information on extras (if any), or a specific list of specials. Will this include the elusive It’s the G...

That is indeed cool. People on Twitter are "roasting it" because of AI and behaving as though this somehow destroys the integrity of the original film...which is kind of silly since this is meant to be an "attraction" and is never going to be made available in homes. If you do want a reason to dunk ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjtCn39hdHs I keep reading from various sources that's Margot and Chris reprising their roles. I do hear Chris, but Margot? I'm not sure if that's her. She was a chain smoker, rest her soul, which did impact her voice. Maybe they re-pitched it? Or maybe every source ...

No, no. Elio has two fully credited directors at the start of the credits. It's not a Wonder Park thing. It's only the original director who's not given top billing (unlike Brenda Chapman on Brave).

Interesting things about Elio's end credits... Despite initial reports indicating "three credited directors," that is only technically true. Poor Adrian Molina doesn't get top billing, and has his name hidden in the main crawl (even when not credited as a "co-director," he is credited as "director,"...

Okay. That's very weird, because I could swear they did change it. I'm (almost) certain the paragraph originally read "Bird’s schedule seems to be the reason as to why he is not directing the third film in the franchise, given he’s in pre-production on Skydance’s Ray Gunn, as well as 1906 for Disney...

Brad Bird is handing the reins to Elemental director Peter Sohn:

However the big news here seems to be that THR may have accidentally revealed that Disney is letting Bird finally make 1906.

Wait, what?

Since Butch Hartman has his own animation studio (again?), reminder that this is one of roughly 10,000 failed pilots he produced, and they’re all of this “quality”…

Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue! aired on this day 35 years ago (one day after 420 day, ironically). For those who don't know, George C. Scott voiced the embodiment of "drugs," while the song was written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. We will never get something this bonkers ever again. https://w...

See, now we just need to get Ben to take pictures.
