FCC can't do anything about a film's content, the MPAA rated films but the content of films is protected by Free Speech. The fact that it's watered down was probably for the audience. Because it's an animated movie with cute characters, the film would likely by marketed toward kids and that questionable subject matter is probably cut to avoid any controvercy. Yeah, you're right. But I still like the Danish version better than the English version.

You have to keep in mind that the FCC isn’t always to blame. In fact, I doubt the FCC had anything to do with it. I glanced over the Wikipedia page for the movie that you’re talking about and it claims that it was released on DVD. Well, the FCC only regulates what it broadcast over the air via television and radio, so the FCC wouldn’t have the authority to censor anything. Any changes that were made were made by the company who owned the rights and paid for it to be released in the United States. The filmmakers just gave America the rights and they ruined it. They changed everything: the dialogue, the scenes, the songs. Fifteen seconds of a scene were cut in fact.

Hey, guys, I just got done watching Jungledyret Hugo on YouTube. It was the Danish version with English subtitles. I looked it up on Wikipedia and it made me mad at how many changes the English version had. Here they are:
1) Scenes that involve vomitting/spitting were omitted. 2) The scene where Hugo is shocked three times by electrical wires was omitted. The scene where Hugo is on the roof is cut to instead. 3) The language was omitted (the characters only said "d**n" twice). 4) The calendar with the picture of the girl in her binkini was omitted.
I swear, it realy pisses me off when the FCC does this. Why did that have to omit so much from the film? I found the scene where Hugo is shocked very funny and it brought a smile on my face.
Secondly, why was the language omitted? Cartoon characters cuss all the time ("Family Guy", "South Park", "Roger Rabbit", etc.).
Thirdly, the scenes with the vomit/spit should've been deleted at all. It's just vomit and spit. It's not like kids are going to be grossed out by seeing it.
And finally, why did they have to blu out the image of the girl in hr bikini? It's justa picture of a girl in her swimwear.
Anyway, I just wanted to take the time to make this little rant. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Oh, I also hate the English dub since the language doesn't match up with the lip movement. I hate that in dubs.

I've got great news! YouTuber cbcbcbcbccb (or DragonBoosterluver) has uploaded many episodes on YouTube ("Home is Where the Bark is", "Chow about That", "Cruella World", and many others). I just thought I'd let you know if you didn't already know.

I know what you mean. How could Lilo & Stitch not make the list? And how could Cars make the list? I hated Cars. It was predictable (McQueen: But I thought you weren't coming back?). I also didn't like it becaue I'm not a big NASCAR fan (never have been, never will be).

Well, that's fine. It's just that I had more fun playing SA than GTA4. We all have our opinions about games and that's all fine and dandy.

The game sucks. You can't do much and the game gets extremely tedious and boring really quick once you've completed the story mode. This game focuses too much on graphics and not enough on gameplay. Also, the islands are a LOT smaller than in San Andreas. Stick with San Andreas 'cause it's ten times better than GTA4. It's more fun and you can do more in it.

I agree with Two-Tone. Rebecca only appeared in one episode, whereas Two-Tone appeared in more than one, though sadly she did not have any speaking lines. I feel sorry for Tara Strong. She got this character and she pretty much never got to do anything with it, whereas Spot got hundreds of speaking roles. Death to Spot!! If it would make you feel better, though, Two-Tone, I could have Lucky and the gang kick her out instead of Spot.

Oh, that's too bad. I've never really been a fan of anime. The only anime I like is DBZ.

A/N: This is my first 101 Dalmatians fanfic, so it may or may not be all that great. If you have any suggestions for improvement, please let me know.
Now That You're Gone
Chapter
Lucky paced back and forth across the barn, his eyes cast to the floor as his mind buzzed over and over again in his head. Rolly was gone. That was that. To Lucky, it seemed like an impossibility. Though Rolly had been the weakest of his gang nor the brightest, it seemed wrong to have him out of the group. The only members left now were Cadpig, Spot, Two-Tone, and Rebecca.
He was thinking about kicking Spot out of the group since she did nothing to contribute to them. Besides, wtih Rolly they had had six members, but now the number of the group was uneven and Lucky would have to debunk of the members to make the number even again. He knew without a doubt that everyone would most likely vote Spot out, but he couldn't be too sure since Cadpig and Spot were close friends.
He kept pacing until he heard a voice.
"Lucky, you okay?"
He turned to see Rebecca behind him.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he replied. "Why would I not be?"
She walked closer to him.
"You seem stressed," she reported.
"Do I look stressed?" he asked.
She looked at his restless face. He hadn't slept or eaten in days.
"Yeah, you do look stressed, pumpkin," she replied. "Why do you not lay down and get some rest or at least eat a bite or two? Here,"
She pushed a bowl of kibble towards him and he pushed it back to her.
"No, I'm fine," he told her.
"Lucky, you've got to be hungry," she stated heavily. "You haven't eaten or slept in almost a week."
"Lucky, I'm not letting yourself go just because Rolly's gone. Here's what you're going to do: You're going to get over it and continue on with your life. Got that? That's exactly waht you're going to do."
"Says you,"
"Lucky, please,"
"Look, I'm exhausted. I'm going to go take a nap."
"Good idea,"
Lucky walked over to a pile of hay and walked in circles several times like a cat before finally laying down.
Rebecca approached him. He rose up and looked at her.
"What?" he asked.
"Join me for supper afterward?" she asked.
"Yeah, sure,"
She gave him a lick on the face and walked out of the barn, leaving Lucky by himself.
A/N: You'll notice that this is double spaced. This is because it makes it easier to read. I'll be sure to post chapter 2 as soon as possible. Until then, read and review.

I'm glad you liked it. I'm working a sequel right now. I wrote another Alvin and the Chipmunks story, but's extremely mature. I noticed that you added me to your Favorite Authors list. Thanks for that. However, I can't say the same about you. I couldn't find your name anywhere at fanfiction.net. Could you give me a link to some of the stories you've written or tell me your username at fanfiction.net. Is it the same as on here or is it different?

I only have one song by Steve Nicks: "Edge of Seventeen" which is on The School of Rock" soundtrack.
