Exclusive: Interview with Caitlin Sanchez, the new Dora the Explorer!

"Bolt" - Clips and Official Trailer

“Bolt” leaps into theaters on Nov. 21, 2008, and I’ve got tons of clips below, along with the official trailer.
This movie looks ultra-cute, and I can’t wait to see it with my kids. I’m even dragging the 14-year-old along, who’s more into Monty Python than animated movies these days. It’s not rated yet, but I’m […]

Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, Vol. 6 and Spolight Collection, Vol. 6 Now on DVD - VIDEO

Sometimes, it’s just nice to go back to the originals and watch the real deal, you know what I mean? I love the old cartoons for that very reason. They’re just pure, unadulterated entertainment with smart writing. They didn’t just phone it in, like a lot of the modern cartoons.

"Tom Thumb" Heads to Theaters

This is fun: Kevin Lima, who directed last year’s crowd-favorite Enchanted, is directing a big-screen version of Tom Thumb, titled simply “Thumb.” That’s him in the picture, with Amy Adams on the set of “Enchanted.”
It’ll primarily be a live-action movie, though Thumb may be depicted as a CG character. The movie will […]

Yogi and Boo Boo Go to Hollywood

Hey, Boo Boo! Yogi Bear and his sidekick Boo-Boo are headed to the big screen! How cool is that?!
The Warner Bros. film will be a mix of live action and CG, with Yogi and his buddy being the latter. Sounds like it’ll be similar to 2007’s Alvin & the Chipmunks. I’m betting […]
