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). IIRC, Snoopy:the Musical fizzled on Broadway, although ...

So--interesting. Vudu just added tons of vod to buy movies like mr bug goes to town and more classic christmas specials and they also added--some of the missing peanuts specials! Seems like the last 90s-00s few (like Schulz’s extremely odd last bow with Pied Piper, and the strangely hip-deconstruct...

Of the 45 produced from 1965–2011, these are the five not included in this set: - Snoopy: The Musical (1988) - It's the Girl in the Red Truck, Charlie Brown (1988) - You're in the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown (1994) - It Was My Best Birthday Ever, Charlie Brown (1997) - It's the Pied Piper, Charlie Br...

Already up at Amazon, for 8/26: https://www.amazon.com/Huckleberry-Hound-Show-Complete-Blu-ray/dp/B0FJMP9M6M/ref=sr_1_1?crid=7C6VNT9U1DXX GF: “At the time, there was a rumor going around that Warner didn’t do a Huck V2 because it hadn’t sold very well—That’s not true, it sold very well.” Gee, I wond...

Just de-lurking: Got feet wet into playing around with AI image generators—Yes, I know, “Tragic fraud”, “Insult to hardworking artists”….Hey, I’m only geeking around with apps for creativity’s sake, since it’s good screenwriting practice, and I could even “illustrate” a few children’s stories I neve...

By the way--is gentu gone? Looks like he is getting replaced with the human FBI? Oddly enough, the Ice Cream Slug is now also missing— Replaced by David Hekki Kanui Bell as a poor Hawaiian sumo guy who keeps losing his ice cream in the chaos. So apparently, there’s no more need for the backstory of...

(Basically,flashing back in the first film made me wish they could get Pete Docter back to do some dream projects, but after “Soul”, that might be a monkey’s-paw wish.)

Apparently, with everyone rushing to see it, no one’s yet brought up the subject of whether it’s a GOOD film. Spoiler: Hell yeah. 8) Finally went out to see it mid week (I don’t usually go to the mall cineplex anymore, but I wanted to dine out in the area), and yes, for the only other time in almost...

No, Elmo was a fairly professional-grade movie, albeit no Follow That Bird. This was more in the category of Preschool Training Movies, that encourage kids in the audience to interact to help the onscreen hero, thus introducing fidgety 3-yo.'s to the concept of why they have to sit still in a dark r...

And since I was away from my computer for a week, I missed the deadline, and am now going to be the proud owner of their last monthly release, the SW: Obi-Wan S1 steelbook.

Anyone who wants to buy it off me, last dibs, although I'm probably donating my similarly-in-error Wish copy to the library.

Elmo was a wide theatrical release. Abby was...not, AFAIK.

I remember when the concept was first announced, and I pictured a sort of grocery equivalent of Ralph Breaks the Internet.

It indeed takes a lot of hard work and effort to not only screw it up, but make something not even faintly resembling the premise.

It's a reference to this short film he created in 1966: (Old Mel Brooks guy from the "Critic" short:) "So vhatdahell is this? Oh, he's dreaming about lightning, yeah, the pillow must be pressing on his eyeballs, that's happened to me..." 60's Jim Henson embarrassed film students everywhere by being...

Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin was from a book by Sid Fleischman, whose children's books have a taste for old-fashioned Mark Twain style tall-tales.
70s Ron Miller may not have had the subtlety to translate his stories in spirit, but he's still worth reading.

That's just it, I'm worried it's going to be TOO saintly and canonized, and not get into Jim's darker mindset in the 80s towards Kermit & Co., vs. his new dreams of literally being the George Lucas of puppet/creature FX. Ron Howard is obviously trading on his reputation for biodocs after X-producing...
