How was it racist? Have you even seen it? That movie is anti-Nazi!

Well there are some "Japs" in it during the begining. But the whole cartoon isn't racist at all.

perhaps there is something I haven't seen. Now I'm intrigued.

Still, I would like to see 101 Guestapo

You can view clips of it here:

They also have some other WWII era cartoons. Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips is pretty good.

there's another funny one where Superman takes on Japanese sabotuers from "To-keee-yo". I probably have that ep on DVD....

*Voltron* · 02-18-2004, 01:14 PM

I liked the comic where Super Man fights Hitler and Stalin. The looks on their faces when he drops them off at the league of Nations is priceless.

I always liked the Muppets well enough, Muppet Babies was a staple show for me in my childhood. I've kinda grown out of them and didn't catch the last movie. "Treasure Island" was kinda funny IMO. It kinda bothers me Disney owns them now, but like I said I've grown out of the Muppets so its no big issue to me. Oh well.

Check out what the Nazis had to say about that comic. http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/superman.htm

Muppet Babies RULES, it's stiill pretty damn funny when watched again.

"Treasure Island" and "Kermit's Swamp Years" are well written and very humerous, especially the ending of "Kermit's Swamp Years", I did'nt give a toss for "Muppets In Space", that was going TOO far.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

OT, but I concur.

....And what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.

Here's what I think will happen. Disney bought them to save their own asses, which won't happen. Comcast is gonna clean them out, so they bought the Muppets to revive stock holder faith. One of these will happen.

1. First those a** holes at Disney will strip Seseme Street of everything that makes it what it is. They'll hire cheaper voice actors (It's PBS, and Disney is a commercial company so they'll want to cut corners), and if not that, they'll just move it to the Disnry Channel and discrace TV like never before.

2. If, and I mean IF, they make any more Muppet movies, they'll be CGI, which will be total sacreligious. Jim Henson made all of his movies without that crap, and it always gave them a realness. You knew that you cound reach out and feel them and know that they were there. Disney will kill that in all forms. Disney sucks.

3. In all likelyhood, they'll just bury them. They've wanted them since 1990, because they are compatition. It's like when Warner Bros. bought Gumby. They bought him, buried him, and promoted Bugs Bunny. Disney will most likely buy the muppets, bury them, and promote the newly CGI animated Mickey Mouse movie (which is a total insult to all animation, due to Mickey being the original animated character).

Point is......

MAY THE DISNEY CORPORATION AND MICHEAL EISNER ALL BURN IN HELL FOR DESTROYING THINGS WE LOVE, AND TAKING THE MUPPETS FROM THE WORLD!

I say we dress like Ninjas, breaking into the so called "Disney Vault" *cue chior music*, and steal the TMNT costumes.

**Machias Banshee** · 02-19-2004, 12:55 AM

It could get worse...

they KNOW how popular sesame street is all over the world...

they could make a muppet Mickey!!!

They'll burn Elmo at the stake, and give his world to him..

"thats, Mickey's Wooooooorrrrrrllllllld!"

Its a sad, sad day...

But in all truth, Henson was actually planning on selling his workshop to Disney a long time ago, like, the day after he Died. I'm serious! If he hadnt kicked the bucket then, who know's what could have been of Kermit by now..

**GK Punk** · 02-19-2004, 01:50 AM

Man all this talk of disney's impending doom..

SOMEONE THINK OF THE PIXIES!!!

**Machias Banshee** · 02-19-2004, 02:54 AM

Sorry, Honey...

Tink's gonna be out on the streets, selling herself to Chip and Dale or something...

Makes you wonder what all the different characters are gonna do now...

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

*cries*

Unless someone already stated this, Sesame Workshop (formerly the Children's telivision workshop) bought the rights to Sesame Street characters after EMTV was about to sell the Muppets (long long story)

As a life long Muppet fan (hense my user name) I feel mixed. This could be a bad or a good thing, we don't know.

All I know is they bought the rights to the characters (I think the Muppet Show and Bear in the Big Blue house... no word on Fraggles), but they don't own the Jim Henson company

I dont really like the muppets, but maybe Disney will make them better.
