When my dad and I went to see The Lego Movie, the theater was mostly empty aside from some rambunctious kids. They quieted down once the movie started, but when Will Ferrell showed up as the father near the end, they immediately lost all interest in the film and began running up and down the...

Main one that comes to mind is when my mom and I went to see Mr. Peabody & Sherman, not because of anything that happened in the theater itself, but on the way out we discovered that her car had been broken into and her GPS/entertainment system stolen. Fun times!

Fan-run wikis are even worse in that regard. One of the main reasons I started my SpongeBob music ID blog in 2010 was that there was so much misinformation about the show's music on the SpongeBob wiki - somebody added a bunch of fake titles and fake composer names for tracks that weren't...

I can tell you the artwork is easily the best thing about the reboot by far. According to Thad, the original showrunner was going to be someone from Phineas & Ferb, but he was taken off the project and replaced with Jenny Jaffe (who apparently also worked on the Rugrats reboot, according to her...

As I mentioned in this thread, the Bavarian Inn Lodge in Frankenmuth has a downstairs arcade with cartoons playing on multiple TVs. The last time I went there, two of them had different channels playing Looney Tunes at the same time (Boomerang and MeTV Toons).

I've always suspected that that percussion track (and the bass/guitar riff over the Spumco logo at the end) was original music by Screaming Lederhosen, but your theory seems plausible too, especially since the track appears to be absent from the episode's cue sheet.

IMO, Quackbusters was the best at combining the various cartoon excerpts into a single story, as it gives the impression that the producers decided what cartoons they wanted to use first and then wrote the story around that, as opposed to the other films where the cartoon clips feel more like an...

This also happened on an episode of Garfield and Friends: Two other instances that come to mind are from Hey Arnold! (episode "Tutoring Torvald") and Super Mario World (episode "The Night Before Cave Christmas"):

Back when Nickelodeon first started making full episodes of their shows available for free on Nick.com, they sometimes forgot to edit out commercial break slates or accidentally used the wrong audio track (one Fairly OddParents episode had voices only, with no music or SFX). SpongeBob...

I was just at the Bavarian Inn this past weekend and noticed one of the downstairs TVs is now showing MeTV Toons (a channel I don’t think I’ve seen on a public TV before).

All I'll say for now (and I hope this is allowed) is that this reboot reminds me of something Bob Camp said in the Happy Happy Joy Joy documentary:

Considering Bob was only briefly involved with the reboot before quitting early on, I'm taking this with a grain of salt. Still, part of me hopes they at least air the episodes that have been finished, as there's a ton of things I want to say about them but I've been holding my tongue out of...

As far as I know she only says it in that one cartoon (and yes, it's in the public domain, as are most of the final batch of Popeye theatricals).

One other mistake I want to quickly point out in your review of "Christmas Comes to Pac-Land": That cartoon, "Spooky Swabs", actually came out in 1957, and was in fact the final Popeye cartoon released to theaters. Just thought that was worth mentioning.
