Haha, is it me, or does the anime version of Cartman look like Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Oh, and hi Misato.

This thread is to talk about movies that you were initially skeptical about, until finally getting the chance to see them. As for me, I never would've thought I'd like Kung Fu Panda. Ever since hearing about how underwhelming Shrek the Third was, I pretty much fell out with Dreamworks and...

So, I've been on a Western RPG spree after getting addicted to Skyrim last year. After spending countless hours with that, I moved onto Borderlands and Mass Effect. I personally prefer the former. Because while Mass Effect gives you so many options on how to play, the charm of Borderlands...

Even though I recently bought a 3DS, I found a few DS games I've been wanting to get, but was too broke before. There was a good deal on Amazon, and I ended up buying Dragon Quest VI, Dragon Quest IX, and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. I missed out on The Lost Age, but the cheapest copy you can find...

I ended up not liking American Dad when it first aired, too. It's mostly because it seemed like a lazy rehash of Family Guy, but with more political humor. After recently growing out of Family Guy and everything else Seth McFarlane was involved in, I caught a few episodes on Adult Swim when I...

Beelzebub (FUNimation) Oga: Justin Cook Furuichi: Vic Mignogna Hildegarde: Stephanie Young Lamia: Luci Christian Arandron: Chris Sabat

I started reading A Storm of Swords earlier this week. So far, A Song of Ice and Fire has kept my interest, which I'm honestly surprised by since books that long are normally a turn-off for me. But, I found the last two to be addicting, and this one looks promising so far, too.

I honestly wasn't as annoyed by the "Rheumatism" gag as most of the others who complained about it. It did get a little irritating, though. Some of the Micheal Crawford harping, on the other hand, did get a lot more repetitive. I absolutely loved the beginning of the review where the random...

I actually still have a VHS of Night of the Sentinels from that Pizza Hut deal. Since this was the first review in awhile on something I've seen, I thought a lot of the jokes were great. Those jokes with the phone call recordings have always been my favorites, but this one was probably the...

Here's a threat to talk about which songs got you into bands, or genres that you listen to. As for me: I didn't think much of music growing up, except for Michael Jackson. But then, when I was 13, my older brother tried to get me into Metallica by making me listen to "Fade to Black". Thanks...

From "Scott Tenorman Must Die" Stan: "Cartman, you are so Godd*nm stupid; it's unbelievable." The reason I think it's so funny is because to me, it completed Stan's transition from an immature kid to the deadpan straight man who has no tolerance for the stupidity of the majority of South...

After learning about what Walt Disney had originally planned for Fantasia, I always wondered what it would be like to see the different versions that showcased both the evolution of animation and music. I'm also a little disappointed that Fantasia 2006 got canned, too. Some of Don Bluth's...

I've actually been wanting him to review The Thief and the Cobbler for a long time, now. To this day, it still saddens me that Richard Williams was unable to see his pet project completed the way he envisioned it. I wonder if Doug is aware of the history behind the movie? If he isn't, I'm...

It's gonna take me awhile to get used to Franky's upgrade. I'm liking the huge arms, but I really miss his old Ace Ventura hairdo. I didn't expect us to see Sentomaru again so soon, but his return will give the crew a nice opportunity to show how much they've improved in the last two years...

It's actually Bluth's first independent project that he worked on after he left Disney, back in 1979, I believe. It wasn't exactly a feature film, but a 30 minute short that aired as a Christmas special, about a cat named Banjo who runs away from the farm he lives on, to Salt Lake City...

I think one of the creepiest moments in animation that I can remember growing up with was that episode of Rugrats: Angelica's Nightmare. As if a giant baby with a deep voice wasn't already unnerving, the fact that her parents had her sleep in the closet and forgot all about her still gets me today.

There was one time I mistook Rob Paulsen for Gilbert Gottfried. It was in Danny Phantom, when he did the voice of Technus. It was spot-on, and I was convinced that it was him, until checking online to see that it was Paulsen. For awhile, I thought Dad from Dexter's Laboratory was voiced by...

For me, it was the beginning of Aladdin. I had seen it on the big screen when I was 5, and the first scene with the Cave of Wonders had me whimpering in my seat. The deep, booming voice was probably what did it for me. The "death" of the air conditioner from The Brave Little Toaster...

When I was in 5th grade, I used plenty of quotes from Eric Cartman, most of which got me into trouble at school. Most of them were pretty much non sequitors in most situations I used them in, though. There was one time when my class was supposed to have free time on the playground, but instead...

It's been said before, but the cast of Family Guy is the worst offender, especially Brian. I liked him for his dry, snarky humor, but really lost interest when he became Seth McFarlane's author avatar. Everyone's mentioned Timmy, Cosmo, and Vickie from Fairly Oddparents, but I'm surprised...

Chalk up another point for Whatever Happened to Robot Jones. It was actually one of the cartoons that got me back into them, after my short falling out when I reached middle school. While the idea of a robot in a human society has been done before, I liked the way it was presented, especially...

It's just speculation, but I think it has to do with Jughead. But, my guess is that it has to do with the Incident, since the fatal pregnancy wasn't a problem when Amy gave birth to Ethan, which happened before then. Other than that, nothing's been confirmed. It'll probably be one of those...

After thinking about "Everybody Loves Hugo", I remember what Hurley said about being able to bring people back from the Dark Side by mentioning how Darth Vader redeemed himself at the end of Return of the Jedi. I think that foreshadowed Sayid's sacrifice. I might be looking too much into this...

I've already mentioned it in two other threads, but this was the most emotional that LOST has made me feel since "Through the Looking Glass". Charlie's death was the only death that made me sad, to be honest, but what made Jin and Sun's more tragic was that they had died shortly after being...

Another flop I remember seeing on the big screen was Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Being the huge Final Fantasy fan that I was, I really expected a lot out of this movie, but was really disappointed. The CGI for the time was impressive, but I thought the story was so boring. Back in...

So, I've gone on another nostalgia binge, checking out a lot of the Disney shorts from the 50's, and Silly Symphonies. Surprisingly, my favorites of them are the ones that don't feature the iconic trio. Anyway, one of my favorites is Ben & Me, mainly because it's one that I grew up with. It's...

I just picked up Fantastic Mr. Fox. I'm kinda bummed that they decided to put all of the extras on the Blu-Ray, though. Still, I really liked it, especially how the stop-motion gives it that retro vibe.

While his voice is pretty easy to spot, I found it amusing that Kappei Yamaguchi (Usopp, Ranma, L) is the Japanese voice of both Bugs Bunny, and Kyle from South Park. A huge surprise for me was finding out that Alessandro Juliani, who voiced L in the dub of Death Note, also voiced Kid...

I remember seeing Rock-A-Doodle as a kid. Though, my brother and I dragged our mom to see it with us. I honestly didn't remember anything about the movie, aside from the rooster who dressed like Elvis.

I think I mentioned it before in another thread, but I remember being surprised to find out that Tom Kenny voiced the Narrator on from The Powerpuff Girls. Back then, the only voices I knew he did were the high-pitched, nasally ones like Spongebob, or Carl from Johnny Bravo, and I didn't think...

I remember having my mind blown to find out that Daran Norris (Cosmo from Fairly Oddparents) also did the voice of Tasuki from Fushigi Yuugi. It was when he started yelling that the Cosmo voice slipped out. Another one was Dave Cooksey, who I knew as Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown, and...

I, too, am looking forward to a lot of the upcoming reviews, since I actually loved some of them as a kid, especially Free Willy. I'm familiar with Christopher Walken, but haven't seen any movies with him, so I probably won't enjoy that one. Home Alone 3, on the other hand, I actually...

Back when I still watched the show, I couldn't stand Katie Griffith being recast as Alex on Totally Spies. She made the character's voice sound too loud and high-pitched. One recast that I didn't mind was Candi Milo as Dexter. It's been awhile since I've seen Dexter's Laboratory, but I...

I'm surprised that noboby's mentioned Little Nemo in Slumberland. Correct me if I'm wrong, but apparently, the film's animation crew consisted of some members from Studio Ghibli, but they backed out. Even without them, I was still impressed by the visuals. Fortunately, that's not all the movie...

It took me years to figure out that Tom Kenny was the narrator from The Powerpuff Girls. Up until that point, his high-pitched nasally voice made him easy to recogznize. I think I realized that it was him in the Spongbob episode "The Hall Monitor", when he does that deep, heroic voice.

Kim Possible is another series that exceeded my expectations. To me, the Disney channel was way past its prime. I sat down to watch the tail-end of an episode, and thought it was just another generic teenage superhero show. But one day when I was bored, I caught a whole episode, and the...

Have you ever sat down to watch a cartoon, only to have your expectations surpassed? I know I have. I remember when I was a kid, and Gargoyles first aired. Back then, I didn't really bother watching it. Growing up, I looked at it, and thought it was nothing more than Disney's answer to Teenage...

It's a crying shame that The Rescuers Down Under isn't a choice in this poll. Because, I really thought it was a giant step above its predecessor in terms of plot and animation. I guess it's overlooked and not a part of the Renaissance films because nobody really talks about it. Anyway...

Personally, I'd like to see another edition of "Old vs. New" comparing the 1987 TMNT cartoon to the '03 one. I'm not sure if Doug has seen any episodes of the new series, but I think it would be perfect, seeing as he's a huge Turtles fan. I know I've said that I've wanted to see them before...

To be honest, the only Disney dub of any Miyazaki movie that's really bothered me was Castle in the Sky. I'm talking about Pazu and Sheeta's voices; I couldn't stand them. The characters didn't even look like they were in their teens, and they got actors who were too old for those roles. I...
