It looks like a Who Framed Roger Rabbit? sequel is in the works:
EXCLUSIVE: Robert Zemeckis Indicates He’ll Use Performance-Capture And 3-D In ‘Roger Rabbit’ Sequel MTV Movies Blog
EXCLUSIVE: Robert Zemeckis Indicates He'll Use Performance-Capture And 3-D In 'Roger Rabbit' Sequel
We now know that Robert Zemeckis is playing it old school in at least one respect when it comes to his "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" sequel: the script will be penned by original scribes Jeffrey Price and Peter Seaman.
But with over two decades of moviemaking technology between the release of his first cartoon bunny film and the beginning of creative brainstorming for the second, the question is whether or not Zemeckis will also play it old school when it comes to the look of the film. Will it merge live-action with traditional animation? Or, building on his work on films like "A Christmas Carol" and "Beowulf," will the director introduce motion-capture and 3-D technology into the equation?
During a recent interview with MTV News' Josh Horowitz, Zemeckis made his clearest statement yet that he'll use mo-cap for the human actors and that the movie will be partly in 3-D.
"All the other characters that [the cartoons] would sort of have fun with would be magnificent in performance capture technology," he explained.
Inherent in this admission is the matter of 3-D technology. Starting with "The Polar Express" in 2004, all of Zemeckis' mo-cap movies have also been in three dimensions. So when the director talks about using performance-capture, he's also talking about making "Roger Rabbit" partly in 3-D. But he also ruled out using 3-D or mo-cap when it comes to the cartoons, including the title rabbit and his voluptuous beau, Jessica.
"I wouldn't use it for the cartoon characters, because I think they should stay two-dimensional because that's what — I wouldn't dimensonalize Roger," he said. "And I couldn't dimensonalize Jessica even if I wanted to because she doesn't have a nose. We wouldn't want to give her a nose."
Here's where it gets tricky. Even at its best, mo-cap technology creates characters that indisputably look animated. For the new movie, the prospect would be that for all the tech advances, the human actors would look less real than they did in the first film. Unless – and here we jump into pure speculation mode – that mo-cap look would be part of the storyline. Be still our cartoonishly beating hearts, could the film take place predominantly — or perhaps just the 3-D mo-cap portions — in Toontown?
Oh no - a sequel? Hmm, I think Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is one of those films that were just so good that a sequel would just destroy it. But then again, Robert Zemeckis is a pretty cool director so I can't imagine him screwing it up. :lol:

Same. But I do wonder about the music copyrights.
Though it's my fault for not finding out about this sooner. :blush: I just recently got back in to watching Daria on YouTube. :blush:

With the resurrection of Futurama, guess who else is coming back?

“Beavis and Butt-head” Back to MTV with new episodes!
Posted by Rochelle H. Emert on July 15, 2010 · 2 Comments
The two dimwitted heavy-metal fans, Beavis and Butt-head, from the fictional town of Highland may be back with new adventures and wise-ass comments reminiscent of the MTV before Laguna Beach and The Hills.
Supposedly Creator Mike Judge has been working on 30 new episodes to return to MTV in the show’s original crude style. Though MTV has not released any official comment on the project, the New York Post claims to have confirmed the hopeful speculations with a source at MTV. This move would be characteristic of MTV, who has plans to increase the percent of scripted or animated shows to “diversify” the otherwise, heavy-reality TV programming.
Motivations for resurrecting the classic slacker characters after 13 year of hiatus go beyond appeasing the show’s die-hard fan group who immortalized the duo’s many pearls of wisdom, which often included phrases such as, “ass-munch, “fart-knocker,” or “butt-hole,” followed by uncontrollable laughter or awkward pelvic-thrusting dance moves.
In an attempt to backtrack from its well-earned reality-TV reputation to the days when MTV used to broadcast (you guessed it!) music videos, MTV would do well to bring back Beavis and Butt-head, the rocker teens who spent much of their time on their couch cleverly praising and criticizing music videos between stints frying stuff at Burger World and trying to score chicks. This time though, instead of criticizing Vanilla Ice, they’ll be taking aim at the music videos of Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. The return of Beavis and Butt-head very well means the return of music videos to MTV.
In preparation for the coming return of the kids who laughed at every sexual reference, (especially those of you who chuckled at the word “coming”) you can watch volumes 1 and 2 of the Mike Judge Collection on the MTV Beavis and Butt-head website.
Now to pay tribute to the eccentric, the overly caffeinated… the Great Cornholio.
----
And if this is true, I might actually have a reason to watch MTV after all. Specifically for this tidbit as well.

This is really just a news thread where we occasionally throw in article. Sadly, lately, it's either of DVD Releases, season renewals, or obituaries. I might consider opening a Questions thread one of these days depending on how effective it would be.
But to answer your question:
I'm not really familiar with the Strawberry Shortcake series (heard of it, never watched it) but assuming you're talking about the 80s version, of all the specials that have been aired, only The World of Strawberry Shortcake and Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City have ever been released. It's not known when the other specials are going to come out on DVD.

ooo I'm glad I found this thread, because I had a question, and didn't know where to ask it...but hopefully here is the right place!
The original Strawberry Shortcake was recently released on DVD...but only the first two episodes...does anyone know when and if the rest of the original cartoons will be released? I am really not a fan of the remake at all, and I refuse to watch anything but the original! (even tho there were only a few episodes ever made lol). Thanks!

Youtube is always taking down videos here and there but I know as long as there are rogue user accounts out there, the controversial cartoons will keep getting posted and reposted. For every video taken down, two more will pop up!

Voltron is one of the best series during the 80's. He's still my favorite robot.

Voltron Producer Peter Keefe Dead at 57
Peter Keefe, best known for his work with the children's series Voltron: Defender of the Universe, has died from throat cancer, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Keefe, 57, created Voltron in the '80s by adapting two Japanese animated series "Go Lion" and "Dierugger." The animated show went on to become the No. 1 children's series in syndication in 1984 and '85.
Beginning his career as a movie critic for PBS, Keefe later went on to develop such animated series as Denver, the Last Dinosaur, Widget, Twinkle and The Mr. Bogus Show.
He is survived by his wife, Pamela Mills Keefe, and a stepson.

I have to wholeheartedly disagree. If there's nothing based on Muhammad in Kyle's speech, then I don't know why it was necessary. It can't really be about offending other religions since the creators have been doing it for years.

Yeah, the constant eating of Scooby and Shaggy. Gee, if they taught Cookie Monster a lesson on eating more veggies, maybe they should have cut down on those two eating habits :sigh:
Although I heard in the new Scooby Doo series, Casey Kasem (the one that does the voice of Shaggy from both versions) had asked for Shaggy's character to cut back on the eating.
Tom and Jerry, yeah, they had some controversial stuff. Have you ever seen the Mammy character?

^ Probably didn't want to go poking fingers so they thought it was safer to do that. Should've just cut the part out completely in my opinion.
