Movie Review - Top Cat: The Movie (2011)
24 May 2012 1:38 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Top Cat: The Movie, 2011.
Directed by Alberto Mar.
Featuring the voice talents of Jason Harris, Chris Edgerly, Ben Diskin, Matthew Piazzi, Bill Lobely, Melissa Disney, Fred Tatasciore and Bob Kaliban.
Synopsis:
Top Cat has to contend with a new police chief who is unhappy with Officer Dibble's efforts to control Tc and the gang.
I have very vivid memories of watching all of those great old Hanna Barbera cartoons when I was a wee one, with The Flintstones being the obvious favourite, one that I used to watch over and over amongst breaks in watching He-Man, Ghostbusters or Thundercats. Their characters were always fun, and the comedy, both the set pieces and the physical tomfoolery, drew me in like a moth to a flame. As did Top Cat, the rapscallion alley cat who was always up to mischief.
Now, like many of the others, Top Cat has made it to the silver screen, »

New Smurfs 2 Logo, Smurfs 3 in Development
10 May 2012 7:26 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
After Sony's The Smurfs grossed a grand total of $563 million at the global box office last year, they waited a grand total of 12 days before green lighting a sequel. The studio has released an official logo (above) for the sequel, titled The Smurfs 2, but there was another surprising Smurf-related development today. Apparently, Sony has enough confidence in their sequel writers Karey Kirkpatrick and Chris Poche, that they're now giving the go-ahead on The Smurfs 3. Given that the production of The Smurfs 2 is already underway with much of the original cast returning (plus a few new faces), things must be coming along quite nicely. Raja Gosnell, who helmed the first Smurfs film, returns as director for the sequel which also stars Sofia Vergara, Jonathan Winters, Alan Cumming, Fred Armisen, George Lopez, Anton Yelchin and John Oliver. The Smurfs 2 is set for release on July 31st, 2013. Hit the jump »

Brendan Gleeson, J.B. Smoove, and Christina Ricci Set for Smurfs 2
26 April 2012 12:36 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
In case you forgot, a sequel to last year’s The Smurfs is on its way (sigh). Nearly the entire cast from the first pic—including Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays, Hank Azaria and Katy Perry—are returning, and now THR reports that Brendan Gleeson and J.B. Smoove will be joining the cast as newcomers. In addition, THR noted a few days ago that Christina Ricci will also come onboard. Ricci will be playing Vexy, an evil version of the lovely Smurfette (Perry), while Smoove will voice a new character named “Hackus” who is described as “naughty” (the Smurfs have always walked a fine line between children’s fare and inappropriate). Gleeson, meanwhile, will play Harris’ stepfather, Victor Doyle. Given that this is a kids’ film, I can only assume that the stepfather will be somewhat evil. Raja Gosnell, who helmed the first Smurfs film, returns as director for the »

Smurfs 2 has Unfortunately Started Production
26 April 2012 7:22 AM, PDT | The Movie Pool | See recent The Movie Pool news »
Sony Pictures announced soon after the release of the first movie, that they were going to be making a Smurfs sequel...and I died just a little bit inside. Well, Sony has now announced that they've made good on that promise and production on the second film has officially started.
I haven't enjoyed any of the cartoons turned live-action hybrid movies that have come out (Yogi, Chipmunks, and Smurfs). They felt hollow to me and a mere shadow of what made the original cartoons such classics. Part of that is the writing/story, but it's also in the fact that they're taking them out of the cartoon setting and into the 'real' world.
The worse part, for me, is that the damn things keep making a lot of money! So the studios are encouraged to keep pumping them out. Anyway, the press release came out this morning that production had commenced on the film, »
