58?!!  There is still hope.  I only need 57 of you to pick something besides Greggy's mystery box.  It could happen  

The elves must be teenagers by now

Before I even knew they were making a movie, it picked this up.  Just finished it about 2 weeks ago.  If you like Hunger Games then it's a 

I always liked this Christmas cover from MMLT.  

  That's the one Jayman !!  

Outstanding !!

I'll go 7.5.  Smooth, clean, bright, no Marvel chipping

Opening day is today I believe.  I guess the reviews are going to come streaming in like reaction videos to Rich Men North of Richmond

Isn't the Animaniacs Warner Brothers and therefore similarly Looney Tunes?

Probably not specifically but I remember watching that new, and it hit home. Looney Tunes were on reruns, but you "knew you were watching older reruns," if that makes sense, not the same hit at home.

Idk or even know where to watch cartoons, except for Looney Tunes which is ironic, and I mean on reg TV with no cable.

Looney is on metrics svengoolie channel in the morning.

There are Bible cartoons and PBS cartoons. That about sums it up for no cable and or not counting streaming

 

I believe Animaniacs is indeed Warner Bros. My kids watched it and had the Nintendo game.

A fav of mine…

Yes.  Outstanding book.  I also love the cover where Bugs is going to the moon or some such space adventure.  I never owned it, but at one time I had a very respectable FC collection.  

yea, this thread was a dud

The live feed from the LA premiere showed the books author, and I didn't read it, but she was saying that it kept her intention.

I will say this, it was pg 13 and kids were there as young as 7-10, with there parents and both saying how they'd seen all the hunger games and were excited! 

 

And that's part of why this country is so effed up right now.  "PART" I say!!  This story is brutal.  Kids murdering kids, and these books were published by the Scholastic Press. They were marketed to Jr. High kids.   

Ya there were some right next to us, and pg 13 was the "right rating" I suppose, but this wasn't like TMNT  or something laughy, it was pretty psychological for under 13...

I awaited any reactions, but the audience jumped a few times at surprises, and while nothing was overly gruesome (that I remember) it was a very psychological based 

I think the most damaging thing to show a kid ( or anyone now that I think about it) is not someone being killed, it's showing wrong or evil or the bad guy win.  

Just wondering what happened here.  The Disney characters all seem to be WAY more popular.  In Cartoons, comics and media.  Aside from Carl Barks being a genius, is this just an example of the power of marketing at work?

I read the book and tbh, I really liked it.  It held my attention entirely, but I had to re-read the ending because I couldn't believe it ended that way.  I was kind of shocked.  Whether the film will be good or not, who knows, but I have a feeling they are not going to deviate from the book.
