The lowest reviews for the original series My Little Pony DVDs are parents complaining that it was "too scary" for their kids and gave them nightmares ( Read more... )

I'm talking, of course, about Banjo the Woodpile Cat. Directed by Don Bluth and starring Scatman Crothers? Seriously, how did the universe NOT implode into a singularity of awesome when this came out? Because Don Bluth hadn't yet made The Secret of NIMH- that's the only explanation I can think of that makes any sense ( Read more... )

Why are they remaking The Secret of NIMHThe original film was one of the best animated films ever made, at least in the US. Given that pretty much all modern children's films are generic fluffy comedies (which the original was NOT) I don't see any way it will ever come near the quality of the first. The only way it might be okay is if it's a fresh ( Read more... )

For the last time, the solution to Asch's attitude and problems was not as simple as "just going home." The situation was just a little more complicated than that.

This wouldn't be so irritating if someone hadn't already explained all of this in detail in the same bloody thread, which a a bunch of people just ignored.

I really need to stop browsing the Tales forums. Technically, I only go there for news, but morbid curiosity usually gets the better of me, and even if it doesn't there's often wank in the news topics. A few points ( Read more... )

Suck it, fanboys.

Already the onslaught of "How dare they put a character popular in Japan in a Japanese video game!" arguments are pouring forth from American gamers.

More and more, I hate this fandom.

Gene Kelly must have really enjoyed dancing with cartoon characters. :D

On a related note, Who Framed Roger Rabbit still brings a tear of joy to my eye.

What's with Hollywood's sudden obsession with making anime into live action or CG films? Here's what I've heard about so far (and rather than post my opinion, I'll let you decide if certain aspects are good or bad):

Dragonball: I don't really have much to say, since I've never followed Dragonball, anyway.

Cowboy Bebop: Keanu Reeves will play ( Read more... )

Having just seen 10, I'm getting more optimistic about this series- there were some nice Luke moments to be had (regarding his reluctance to kill) not found in the game, and the preview for episode 11 had flashback clips of a young Jade and Nephry, so yaya for the Keterburg crew. SPOILER: It should also put to rest Asch's motive for turning against ( Read more... )
