Also, still looking forward to Brave, in spite of Cars 2.
Cars was always the pet project of what's-his-face. You know all those stories about how Lucas' movies are getting terrible because nobody has the balls to question him? The Cars franchise is like that.
And a quote about Princess Merida by the co-director.
She isn’t your typical princess. She doesn’t wear nice clothes except in a couple of scenes when her strict mom, Queen Elinor, makes her do it for special functions. She’s an active and action-oriented person. She wants to get out in the outdoors of the Highlands, escaping from castle life and exploring the woods.

Also the fact that Cars merch sells hojillions.

The 3d loony-tunes shorts submitted so far haven't been that bad actually; was surprised to find myself laughing during the Wile E. Coyote one that I saw.
and some things still bother me about Merida's design. She doesn't have eyelashes, and it seems like the dark ring around the perimeter of the iris is totally absent, which is weird because all their other humans have it.

Apparently there will be a trailer tomorrow too!
She sounds like a typical fictional/starring princess.

You've got a point. I've yet to see a fantasy piece starring a princess who really just wanted to sit at home in the castle and practice needlepoint but was somehow thrust into a larger adventure with the fate of the planet hanging in the balance.

Or one who tries to manage her little household when her entire country is thrown into chaos by war, with a healthy dose of the personal politics wealthy women have played through the centuries out of what I can only assume to be boredom.

...Sansa?
Someone who isn't dumber than a bag of hammers made of rocks.
Jake being crazy. The Deer.. that fight with the deer... did, did they just crush his skull and dump his body into the sewer?! "He wanted my sugar, but I didn't give him any.. If you know what I mean."

They straight up murdered the deer-thing. Granted it was evil and broke Finn's legs.

The whole thing was highly disturbing (more so if you think about the saliva). Also, strong Walking Dead vibe with the waking up in the hospital thing.
Though the Deer throwing off his hooves to reveal hands, thereby signalling just how evil it was, cracked me up.
In addition to the shows, it's got stuff like a live-action Blue Beetle, a Ren and Stimpy-styled Plastic Man, the return of the anime-styled Teen Titans as shorts, Lego animations, what looks like animation that's going along with that Gotham City Impostors game and the Aardman claymation Batman, which is apparently voiced by toddlers. It's still starting in 2012, not sure when yet.
I've also flogged this next thing before, but there's a reason for that. The series finale for Batman: the Brave and the Bold is on Cartoon Network this Friday, and this is why you should watch it:
Teaser: In the year 1865, in a parallel universe known as 5501, Batman helps foil an assassination attempt on the life of President Abraham Lincoln by a steampunk armored John Wilkes Booth.
Main Plot: When Bat-Mite has grown weary of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, deeming its formula to be tired and repetitive, he concocts a scheme to make it so bad that the network will have to cancel the show to make way for a darker one. Can Ambush Bug thwart his plan before it's too late?
I caught it on Youtube before it got yanked, and it's an absolutely hilarious commentary on TV executive meddling, series decay and shark jumping.
Still not convinced? It's got roles from not one but TWO absolute icons of jumping the shark. Ted McGinley is infamous for coming on an existing show as a replacement character... shortly before the show dies. Over and over and over. Seriously, he's known as the patron saint of shark jumping. And Ambush Bug is voiced by Harry Winkler.
Also, I'm 95 percent certain that's Mark Hamill in an utterly fantastic cameo I won't spoil for you here. Honestly, if you're even slightly interested/amused by the concept of jumping the shark you NEED to watch this episode.
Here's the list of eligible animated movies for the Oscars.
Rango
Kung Fu Panda 2
Puss in Boots
Rio
Cars 2
Hoodwinked Two! Hood Vs. Evil
Gnomeo & Juliet
Mars Needs Moms
Winnie the Pooh
The Adventures of Tintin
Arthur Christmas
Happy Feet Too
Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
The Smurfs
Alois Nebel
A Cat in Paris
Chico & Rita
Wrinkles
Neat.
Support for best animated thus far goes to Rango. Despite the pop culture refs, it was an awesome movie with some awesome design choices. Same for Tintin, but I haven't seen it yet.
I like what I've seen concerning Chico & Rita, hope it at least gets a nomination. I loved Kung Fu Panda 2, but I don't see it as oscar-worthy.
Puss & Boots, Rio, Happy Feet Too, Alvin & the Smurfs can go fuck a duck.
Kung Fu Panda 2 worked so well because it didn't ignore the progress Po made in the first one, and it was simply a kung fu action flick with CGI animals.
Young Justice's latest episode was excellent. I love how nothing is hand-waved in this series...the characters are all left reeling with the emotional trauma from the previous episode's events.
And I can safely say now that Superboy is my favorite character so far. He's steadily developing into someone that isn't just an angry Superman clone...he's got deeper emotional issues that work to make him a stronger person.
So, daddy issues, constant questioning of his self-worth, in love with a redhead....
Finally saw Megamind. Don't know why I got my hopes up (maybe seeing How I Met Your Dragon did it), but man, was that a let-down. I'm glad Dreamworks is easing off the wall-to-wall pop culture references, but I really wish they'd lay off the Dreamworksy snark. But the biggest problem was, oddly enough, that the flick was utterly, utterly toothless. Beyond the fact that they set up "Megamind isn't really a bad guy deep down!" as subtly as a sledgehammer in the first five minutes, but Megamind never, ever actually did anything evil in the least. I didn't buy him as a supervillain for a second. Even Bowler Hat Guy in Meet The Robinsons, one of the most pathetic villains ever, managed a scene of actual menace, and that was in a Disney movie for chrissakes.
Maybe I'm pumping it up in retrospect, but Despicable Me did a much better job of having a villain as the lead, and managed to make him believably nasty even when they mixed in being a little washed up and his inevitable softening (which felt much more organic than Megamind's).

Her hairline will make it really easy to translate her into cheap dolls.

Cartoon Network is already teasing their new DC Nation block, and it's loaded with flashes of what they're up to:

Basically, he's Shinji on Steroids.

Robin: It's Superman's Fortress of Solitude.
Superboy: Superman has a Fortress of Solitude?
I didn't think they had deep enough pockets for that. That will certainly give them tremendous ground against Marvel.
You are misinterpreting that. Just a block of shows on Cartoon Network.

[edit] Yay, Brave! Boo 6 more months.
...man, Craig Ferguson is doing a lot of voice work nowadays. Owl in Winnie-the-Pooh, that one viking in How to Train Your Dragon, and this.
Then again this was one of his first roles:
(Sadly there are practically zero Roddy MacStew clips on Youtube)
doesn't really make me want to see the film o.o
Looks like Pixar's aspiration with this film is to make a Disney movie.
Maybe that means they'll pull a Tangled on us and none of that will show up in the film at all.
EDIT: Also dig the Scottish-fest.
