I was thinking of doing the same, since I won't really have a fire type until I get Chandelure.

Yeah, Dragonshy feels like the best of the bunch. It's the episode I use to introduce people to the series, since it's a good showcase of all the characters and the show's writing style. My other favorite, which needs a bit more explanation, is "Look Before You Sleep" - I love "bottle...

Black cats and tabbies aren't breeds. Just coat patterns. As for actual cat breeds shown in animation, there are hardly any. Mostly the only two you see are Siamese and Persians. Every once in a while, you might get something else - I think the cat in "Over the Hedge" was a Himalayan but it's...

The Hub being reluctant to battle premiere airings does explain some of their odd time choices for show premieres. I can't say I blame them either. But if they had a Saturday morning block, that doesn't mean they have to show premieres that day. They could just as easily show reruns of all their...

As usual, I saw a pretty good number of movies this year in theaters. (thanks to a $4 theater downtown) It's still less than the past few years though. Bolded are the ones I enjoyed a lot, italicized are the ones I hated. Daybreakers Surrogates Legion The Crazies The Wolfman How to...

Oh, that's not the half of it. Even before shooting Orel he also have out heavy amounts of neglect and emotional abuse. He then takes him on a hunting trip he never wanted to take, berades him viciously when he doesn't want to shoot an animal (and not even for food really, more for the...

I don't feel physically ill, per se, but I do have to stain my eyes a lot, and sometimes get headaches because my eyes are trying so hard to focus. There's also the issue of my slightly lazy eye, which I think is messing up the 3D effect (I keep seeing double images) and that 3D glasses are...

I don't think Principal Mazer wasn't being entirely literal or making a real prediction with the whole "before he winds up in the electric chair" , it's just a wild exaggeration from a guy that's easilly wound up and blows things way out of proportion. Plus, he seems like the sort that equates...

...Wait, so the Hamlet is on par with a Saturday morning cartoon?

I figure Sudowoodo is a petrified tree. It's more rock than plant at that point.

He was, and the character by himself can be seen as completely non offensive, thus a number of Mexicans and Mexican Americans having lots of love for Speedy. The thing about Speedy isn't exactly that he's a negative stereotype, he's the exact opposite, and that's ironically still racist. See...

Olivia's audience is also about half the age of Arthur's. Arthur has the reputation of being a preschoolish show, when it's really more aimed at the 2nd grade set, which is a world of difference. Olivia isn't going to change the world of prechool animation, but it's the best animated show on...

Actually, they did market the return of traditional animation in the theatical trailers. The first one I saw had a flashback of the Renissance, with little sketches turning into full blown fancy memorable scenes of Belle waltzing and whatnot, ending with Tiana on the balcony. I know the kiss...

She was, but Disney would have had to pay royalties to the actress who played her, so Giselle was dropped from the Princess line.
