If they were making a movie of Halloween Is Grinch Night, I'd actually be kind of excited. The way to do a Dr. Seuss movie right would be to do what they did with that special— a patchwork of all his weirdest creations, like his WWII political cartoons or "Oh The Thinks You Can Think" or whatever— things that could

Oh, she had 'another mouth to feed'. It all seems obvious in hindsight….

@Jordo …That was phrased badly, sorry. I LOVE John K's work, every bit of it, and I'd disagree about him being an ass in real life— he was really nice when I met him! I meant he perceives his own work (like Son Of Stimpy) as garbage, compared to what it apparently could be, he thinks, if he had the resources to make

If only we could see the cartoons that John K. sees in his head, compared to which every cartoon he himself has ever made is garbage. It's easy to tone a show down for Standards and Practices, but meeting your own standards can be impossible!

He wasn't referring to Son of Stimpy, but a character he'd created years ago for his Jimmy The Idiot Boy series, Nutty The Friendly Dump. To the best of my knowledge, Nutty has never appeared in animation, presumably because John feels that no one's impressed by gross-out humor anymore.

Emily Bear: "Son!!"
Fozzie Bear: "Mom!"
Both: "Aaa-AAAA-aaahhh!"

Carol of the Bells is interesting to me because some of the best and most surprisingly touching renditions have been done as jokes. See the rendition from Claymation Christmas (http://www.dailymotion.com/… and Mr. Mackey's haunting multitrack "Ding Dong, M'Kay" take.

The PJ's has earned its place in history: a manhole cover in New New York.

Not to disappoint your five-year-old self, Grognak, but Brian Henson never played Kermit. He's been played by Steve Whitmire (who also did Rizzo the Rat and Bean Bunny among others) since Jim Henson's death. Brian Henson is a great Muppeteer in his own right (he was Hoggle from Labyrinth and the dog from The

That means you're outnumbered.

I'll be glad if there's no Pepe; he's been to post-Muppets Tonight years what Bean Bunny was to the Jim Henson Hour years, except Bean's gimmick of being forced on you because he was cute was legitimately funny. Pepe is just sort of Johnny Bluejeans as a crustacean.

SIX?!
Six movies? Seriously?

He's also the voice of Starscream in Transformers Animated:

You pretty much nailed it in that second paragraph, Bulb— Cars is just a story about how people's identities are literally wrapped up in what they drive. It could be filmed in live action, starring the voice actors driving cars that match the ones in the animated movie, and be almost the same; the animated film just

Yummy yum yum!

Dear Spider-Man, how do you type with boxing gloves on your— OH GOD

Dark Thumbelina
They don't get much darker than Thumbelina as told by Santa Claus.

I miss the eWorld font. Pre-hipster Apple's misguided attempt to steal AOL's thunder, we hardly knew ye.

@Inspector X— I can't believe I'm actually saying this, it's one of those things it never occurs to you that someone actually doesn't know… but whales aren't fish. They're mammals. Troy McClure's very specific fetish would not apply to orcas.

There are an awful lot of movies where the host segment really is the best part. Some movies are just beyond entertainment value, even MSTed, and are best enjoyed as clips to give the sketches some context. Red Zone Cuba, for example.
