Why bother? no one would win.  

@Beau Skunky  
A lot of reviewers blame Shrek for the “medium” that studios keep putting in their animated movies.
 
Uncanny Valley is pretty imfamous for being associated with scary stuff.
 
@PonyPon  
That would be an awkward Splatfest. XD But I can see the Rabbids winning it due to the surprise success of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.

@Red-Supernova  
Thinking about it more I certainly see what you mean, although I guess that’s always been part of Butch Hartman’s writing style.
 
One thing that I found rather baffling about FOP was why didn’t Timmy ever ask Cosmo and Wanda to compile all of the events that caused Mr. Crocker to suspect he had fairies and simply wish that they were erased from Crocker’s memory. AFAIK it wouldn’t be breaking any rules, and while Crocker would still have been obsessed with fairies and continued to be a supreme jackass to Timmy and the rest of his class, at least he would’ve no longer been riding Timmy’s back over his secret and would thus have become far less of a threat to him so long as Timmy became careful with making wishes that involved school.

With how good Harvey Street Kids turned out, I hope Dreamworks and Netflix make a new Casper series.

Big week this week.
 
First and most importantly, TTG is not the most aired thing this week. In fact for the first time in like 2, maybe 3 years it’s not because of Gumball that TTG isn’t the top aired. It’s the new show that runs all weekend.
 
After that we finally get some new SU. Hooray! A week long Steven Bomb before it disappears for many years again!
 
New OK KO. Oh hey that wasn’t cancelled. Who knew?
 
Finally we lost King Of The Hill. But in it’s place we get Dragon Ball Super. The first time an anime has aired on a weekday in over a decade!

@Dustcan  
It’s Dragon Ball Super though, so that’s disappointing.

Do live actions remakes count as news in this thread?
 
Because Aladin is getting one.
 
Supposedly with Will Smith as Genie?

@Dustcan  

 
If people want [adult swim] to air more anime on weekdays, then the Super reruns need to do well in ratings. Toonami might be the channel’s “main” anime block (it technically isn’t, but it’s currently airing nothing but anime at the moment), but we could end up seeing more and more anime premiering outside the block during the regular [adult swim] schedule again.

So, I was just reminded that Chicken Little existed.
 
There’s one part of that movie that have always really bugged me. Not just the pre-2008 CGI effects, the lackluster and forgettable plot and character, the downright bizarre character names, or the fact that it was clearly trying to be Shrek.
 
No, the part that’s always bugged me is the fate of Foxy.

@TheHappySpaceman  
You mean the girl that got brainwashed from evil redneck hillbilly to little furry Bo Peep?

@Scrabbleman  
Whoa, spoilers, dude.
 
But yeah, for those of you who haven’t seen the movie, Foxy is the fox tomboy character that liked to bully Chicken Little. She was a sporty type and a baseball champ. By the end of the movie, aliens invade the town, and when Foxy tries to fight them, she is brainwashed into becoming a happy-go-lucky, dress-wearing, airhead princess type. When the misunderstanding is resolved, the aliens offer to turn Foxy back as an apology, but the pig character whose name I can’t remember stops them, saying “No, no, she’s perfect!” So she stays that way forever and becomes the pig’s girlfriend.
 
I barely remember the rest of the movie, except that it was boring and the only redeemable part of it was the Barenaked Ladies song in the soundtrack. But that entire subplot with that character just reeks of cringeworthy.

@TheHappySpaceman  
THE MOVIE IS 13 YEARS OLD!

@Scrabbleman  
It is, isn’t it? Holy foo, I was nine or so when that movie came out…

@TheHappySpaceman  
Seriously, Barenaked Ladies?! I like the band but why contribute to that piece of shit of a film?! Looks like they really needed a paycheck.

@ILoveMyoozik  
At least their song was actually good.

@TheHappySpaceman  
I loved that movie.
 
The fox was kind of a bitch.

@Dustcan  
Glad to see Super on the main block, but I wish they didn’t have to get rid of KotH as adult swim was the last place to find it on TV. Why couldn’t they have gotten rid of the Cleveland Show? Does anyone actually like it? I’ve never heard anyone say anything good about it
 
@PonyPon
 
That Fox kid was such a massive bitch that I didn’t care that they pretty much wiped her from existence
 
In fact I was happy

@Whomps
 
Apparently CN just plain lost the rights to KOTH. Apparently it’s not even on their site anymore or something.

Wasn’t Chicken Little’s father kind of unsympathetic too?

@ice1517  
He was, one of the most unlikeable characters of all the time.

@Dustcan  
Wonder if they learned something about it or mike Judge that made them dump it,

@ILoveMyoozik  
Been a long time since I saw it, but what mad ehim unsympathetic?

@ice1517  
He never supported his son throughout most of the movie and only cared about himself. The one time he did, was when he won a baseball game.

@ILoveMyoozik  
Things were rather difficult for him.
 
Alone with a son he couldn’t understand and tried hard to deflect his status as a pariah off of, who couldn’t believe his crazy tales without proof as with the rest of the town.
 
He wasn’t unsympathetic, just put in a real shit decision.

@ILoveMyoozik  
What a cock (pun intended)
