    The part in the Brave trailer with the baby bear cubs worries me. Everything else was awesome, but the presence of baby bear cubs in the castle suggests she took them home after she killed the mother, with wacky comedy following closely behind. God, I hope the movie doesn't involve a valuable lesson regarding the sanctity of animal life or something. I was hoping for something more badass.

    The worst thing that could happen is that they go the Brother Bear route and have a witch turn the protagonist's younger siblings into bear cubs.

    I trust Pixar, though, even after the Cars 2 incident.

    So, apparently this happened on the latest episode of My Little Pony.

    Um, those bear cubs are her brothers. 3 young silly siblings (triplets?), 3 little silly bear cubs of similar height as the boys? Totally her brothers, tranformed.

    I am calling it right now.

    A synopsis confirms that she turns her mother into that monster bear.[/spoilers]

    I loved Despicable Me, i felt that while the story was rather predictable, it played the emotion strings like a maestro. One of my fav scenes is the iron maiden coffin. "I guess the plan can work with two."

    Ahh, cool. Untagged Brave spoilers. No one was interested in that movie anyways, so it's cool to spoil it.

    Yeah, I'm going to join PikaPuff in the "where's the fucking spoiler tags" sentiment.

    I just watched the new HTTYD short and it's actually pretty good. Not as good as the movie as course, but better then a holiday special has any right to.

    Don't forget: the finale of Brave and the Bold is on tonight.

    Also, while the new Looney Tunes show is wildly uneven, it's managed to create two songs that actually top the deliciously disturbing Grilled Cheese. First, Daffy transforms into an awesome, demon-fighting wizard with a heavy metal soundtrack:

    And now he's returned with the best definition of love I've ever seen:

    Brave and the Bold tonight, was the really the series finale? I only caught the show occasionally, but that was just brilliant.

    Was the trailer at the end for the Batgirl show an actual trailer? I suspect not since they already have that Beware the Batman show comming up, but they're making a whole block of new DC shows, so I suppose it's possible.

    Edit: Some Google research seems to indicate that it's not real, which makes the fact that they went to the trouble of creating those CG assets for just a joke even more impressive.

    That was a brilliant way to end the show, and yes it's the end (according to Wiki, anyway).
    I haven't heard anything about a CGI Batgirl series, but it seems like that would be an awfully expensive bit to animate for a single scene.

    Also, I need a talking neon bat street luge.

    This isn't the best choice for a pony cameo...... Considering the character in the movie

    I demand to have that Daffy image converted into a wallpaper. A magnificent 1920x1080 wallpaper.

    Haven't seen too much of the Looney Tunes show, but I can safely say that Daffy is consistently funny at all times in that series.

    Reactions for this week:

    Clone Wars: Holy shit what the fuck. Dissapointed that
    Krell turned out to just be evil and a Separtist instead of just a prick.

    Gen Rex and Ben 10 were okay.

    Brave and the Bold was just... inconceivable. That just went so meta I don't think it counts as meta anymore.

    Thundercats is approaching it's love triangle with a rather unique level of self-awareness.

    While racing light mechs, your Urbanmech comes in second place, but only because it ran out of ammo.

    Young Justice was pretty dark this week.

    Also, maybe I'm reading too much into it, but could it be that
    it's not Megan that Artemis is jealous of, but Connor?

    They've never shown her having any interest in Superboy, and Weissman did want to make Lexington gay originally.

    It's a ballsy move if CN allows it, but we did just see an episode about a psychopath who stabbed his sister to death, so.....

    There's a long, proud tradition of referencing adult films in cartoons for children. See also the extended Apocalypse Now parody in Animaniacs.

    I'm not sure how vaguely referencing a film that children have never seen is going to harm them in any way.

    And the references make it more entertaining for the secondary audience (IE parents who watch the show with their kids), which is really the entire point of slipping things like that in.

    Interesting idea but word is that the comic tie-in to the show makes it very clear that Artemis has a crush on Conner.

    She was into him in her first episode, and in a later episode, suggested M'Gann date Kaldur. Or Wally. All I remember is that the girls were trying to dissuade each other from dating Conner.

    But yeah, they haven't really touched on it for a while, which is a little weird.
