What Happened to Saturday Morning?

I remember waking up on Saturday, pouring myself a bowl of cereal and eagerly devouring a wide range of animated goodness. But like so many things in life -- the ability to stay up past 11 p.m., remembering what you were just about to do, my hair -- ...

Wall-E Comes to DVD

Next Tuesday, the latest Pixar film, Wall-E, comes to DVD. In our house, Lightning McQueen is still beloved, but I think Wall-E is getting more playtime these days. In case you haven't seen the film, Wall-E is a waste management robot left on earth ...

The voice of Snoopy dies

Many of you will be saddened to hear this, or at least slightly nostalgic. Bill Melendez, who voiced the Peanuts character Snoopy, has died. Melendez, who was also in charge of most of the animation, was ninety-one! He is survived by his wife of ...

Take the quiz: Pixar

A lot of people love Pixar. The amazing animation studio, with incredible artists like John Lasseter and Pete Docter, has a knack for infusing life and soul into normally inanimate objects. With hits like the Toy Story movies, Monsters, Inc, Finding ...

Smurfs coming to the big screen

Like everything else nostalgia-minded these days, yet another childhood favorite cartoon is making its way to the big screen. Whether the cartoon in question heading to tinsel town is a good thing or not depends on your opinion of smurfology, I ...

The worst Christmas movies

I'm not sure if it's an annual tradition yet, but Maxim magazine recently released their list of the fourteen worst Christmas movies. I thought it was pretty hilarious, and, sadly, pretty accurate. Why does this matter to us (many of whom don't ...

Pixar's new film: Wall-E

I love Pixar. There, I said it. I would have John Lasseter's baby, if I could. I loved both Toy Story movies, Monsters Inc., and The Incredibles. And, of course, I can't say enough good things about Cars -- it's one of my all time favorite animated ...

Next Shrek has 2010 release date

Quick! Hold the phone! Drop what you're doing! There's going to be another Shrek movie... In about three years. While it's generally recognized that the most-recent Shrek offering, while certainly entertaining, wasn't quite the cinematic ...

Stop motion war

I'm certainly not a fan of war or combat and I would never let my kids play with the classic green plastic army men (even though they've seen them in action in Toy Story), but I still have to say this is a pretty cool use of them. Someone has made a ...

Fifty years of the wabbit

It's a classic. It was voted, by those who know, as the best ever. And you probably don't even know its name. I know I didn't. Just for the record, it's called "What's Opera, Doc?" and it is the greatest cartoon of all. Furthermore, It's now fifty ...

Your favorite cartoons...in real-life places

I think if my daughter ever saw Shrek of Fiona in real life, she'd explode with toddler delight. In fact, as much as I'd like to think that she's most excited by digging through the mud for bugs, or swimming all afternoon at our local pool, there's ...

Diaper Wars: the best Star Wars parody ever

It appears that combining babies and Star Wars is all the rage these days. Just yesterday I discovered this guy, who tricked out his kid's stroller to look like an Imperial Walker, and today, Diaper Wars, a flash animation spoof of the first movie ...
