So I just received confirmation last night that Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own is canceled. I guess I’m not too surprised it turned out to be a one season wonder considering its low ratings and bad reviews. There really wasn’t much they could do with this series considering it was a slice of life series much like Total DramaRama. Something tells me when Pony Life comes around, it’ll be a one season wonder too. So those of you who have this show set to record on your DVR’s, you might as well remove it since there aren’t going to be any more new episodes (though mine still records reruns for some reason even though I set it to “First Run”). Well that was quick. When they do air that new "Pony Life" series I have a hunch it will probably achieve some success but it probably won't make headlines like the prior series did. It likely won't make that much of a stir.

We are getting closer to its official launch date now that it is coming in about 10 days. Now that we will finally get to see the movie, I am honestly hoping this movie will be worth it. Belchic - true there, though I know one thing that would blow the minds of every Sonic fan. If the next movie has Princess Sally Acorn show up. I would welcome it, being a Sonic SatAM fan.

Random Fact #4259:
Back in 1994, New Line Cinema released a superhero comedy film called The Mask. The movie was loosely based on the Dark Horse comic book of the same name about a supernatural mask that grants its wearer superpowers at the cost of their sanity. The movie started Jim Carrey, Peter Greene, Amy Yasbeck and Cameron Diaz in her debut film role. The movie was a critical and commercial success and solidified Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz as A-list celebrities.
In light of the success of the movie, it was announced that the movie would be adapted into a 16-bit side-scrolling platformer video game by Black Pearl Software. The player plays as Jim Carrey's character Stanley Ipkiss, who as the Mask, would go to save Tina Carlyle and stop Dorian Tyrell from seizing control of Edge City.
This game received moderately positive reviews from critics, who thought the graphics, humor and faithfulness to the source material was good but got criticized for having overly large levels (making it easy to get lost) and gameplay that borders on repetitive. The game was released for the Super NES in October 1995 in the US and Europe, and December 1995 in Japan.
The game wound up being a Super NES-exclusive title.
There was supposed to be a Sega Genesis version as well, but because the development on the SNES game took longer than expected, the Sega Genesis game would have been released in 1996 and would have been too late to benefit from the license (plus the Sega Saturn, Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64 were either out or on their way), so the Genesis game was canceled.

Random Fact #4257:
While the 1997 film I Know What You Did Last Summer was a box-office success, the only things it had in common with the original story was the characters’ names and the hit-and-run that sets the story in motion; the script penned by Kevin Williamson was as different as night and day from the Lois Duncan novel. Not to mention none of the original characters die outside the car accident victim.
While the book was originally a mystery/suspense story, the film adaptation was a slasher movie. Lois Duncan openly stated that she detests the film especially when you consider her daughter was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1989.
The silver lining is the movie got people interested in her books and started to want to read them.
Random Fact #4258:
Freddie Prinze, Jr. still has not watched the 1998 sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, out of embarrassment to the fact it was fried by the critics.

Oh... sh*t.
That's really terrible. For all he accomplished and his daughter with him?
Yikes!

After watching a few episodes online, reading about it on TV Tropes and being that this was #10 on the Nostalgia Critic's Top 11 Nostalgic Cartoons, I have this as an entry:
Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates Original run: 1990-1991 Reason: While it was a very creative expansion of a classic story and probably extremely faithful to James M. Barrie's text, there were a few factors that stopped its production. Peter Pan rarely went on adventures with all the Darling children and Lost Boys at once partly because of how expensive TMS could be was one example, but also it had a bit of an Audience-Alienating Premise. Because the show had a more dark tone (there were even episodes where it could seem like characters could actually die, for one) it didn't command attention from older kids (plus The Simpsons was a brand new show), and it scared little kids away who probably expected this series to be more like the lighthearted Disney film. The second season of the show tried to rectify this problem by having the episodes be lighter and softer, but it didn't gain ratings to compete with classic 1980s cartoons such as Alvin and the Chipmunks, Jim Henson's Muppet Babies or The Real Ghostbusters, or other recent, more popular shows like Tiny Toon Adventures or Bobby's World.
This series also never got a legitimate DVD release partly because it's a bit too niche for mainstream audiences outside England, and having nothing to do with Disney or Steven Spielberg doesn't help. Not to mention Disney also has their own Peter Pan series in the form of Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
A shame really because it was a very creative and rather mature show for its time.

So judging by what AniMat, Trey_Vore and I said about the upcoming animated films of this year, if we were a trio of critics who worked together on previewing these movies, here’s how our thumbs would rank: (The first is Mat’s, the second is Trey’s, the third is mine.) Onward: 👎 👎 👍 Trolls: World Tour: 👎 👎 👎 Scoob!: 👍 👎 👍 SpongeBob: Sponge on the Run: 👍 👍 👎 Soul: 👍 👍 👍 Minions: Rise of Gru: 👎 👍 👎 Bob’s Burgers: 👍 👍 👎 The Mitchells Vs. The Machines: 👎 👎 👎 Raya and the Last Dragon: 👍 👍 👍 The Croods 2: 👎 👎 👎 Also, if I were to make my predictions for the best and worst of this year, based on my opinion, I’m predicting... BEST: #5 - Trolls World Tour #4 - Scoob! #3 - Soul #2 - Raya and the Last Dragon #1 - Onward WORST: #5 - The Croods 2 #4 - Minions: The Rise of Gru #3 - The Mitchells vs. The Machines #2 - Bob’s Burgers: The Movie #1 - SpongeBob: Sponge on the Run Based on what I've seen, my thoughts were this: - Onward seems gimmicky, merging medieval lore with sitcom tropes but it could still work. I'll probably go ahead and see it. - Trolls: World Tour just looks like more kiddie claptrap that just will likely disappoint. - Scoob! while I never was a Scooby fan, I won't completely shut out. It might be good. - SpongeBob: Sponge On the Run should be fun. - Soul looks like it will be a good movie. - Minions: Rise of Gru while I am a Despicable Me/ Minions fan, I kinda wonder how much longer this can go before sequelitis kicks in. - Bob's Burgers being a fan of mature cartoons and since a movie about Family Guy would be too divisive to be profitable, I welcome it. - The Mitchells vs. the Machines I see no info for, so I don't trust it. - Raya and the Last Dragon is from Disney, so I am confident it will be worth it. - The Croods 2 I was not asking for. Those are my thoughts.
