I'm glad that they're putting all of the Muppet Show on Disney+ too. That is a franchise that always could use more attention than what Disney does with it and hopefully more people will check it out. Getting American Dragon finally on Disney+ is pretty great too.

Even though everyone says Season 2 is bad.

Even though everyone says Season 2 is bad.

I prefer season two over season one to be honest. I thought that most of the redesigns were better, the writing was better, Homecoming was a real stand out episode and despite the rushed finale, it was pretty satisfying from what I remember. Even if more people do say that season two is bad, that doesn't make it true or a more valid opinion on the series. Besides that, plenty of people could still watch the series for the first time here and still enjoy season two.

Yeah, even if the some of the redesigns were a stark change from season 1, the animation was much better by comparison.

Nobody I know says Season 2 is bad.

 

[D-nice is the man.]

Well, I don't have much to say except that I'm glad that some more older shows including the Disney Channel Games, Pair of Kings, and American Dragon are coming to the service.

Wow! I’m surprise they’re going to release The Muppet Show on Disney+. At least that gave me hope to add House of Mouse.

Muppet show should have been on there from the start. I think we figured a rights issues situation. Similar to original Muppet Babies.

Didn't see a talkback thread for it, but I watched Isle of Dogs last night (which was one of the movies recently added). I was not a fan of the previous Wes Anderson animated film Fantastic Mr. Fox, but IOD was a big improvement. It had a unique plot, its look and animation style was more refined than FMF, and some elements of it are surprisingly timely despite being released a couple years ago. I also loved the setting, a futuristic Japan that was nevertheless old-fashioned, an interesting mix. Its overall presentation gave me something I'd never seen before, which is refreshing in an animated movie. Definitely recommended.

I am really impressed that The Muppet Show is coming.

I have "friends with connections to those on the inside" that have said that the episodes will be remastered, and entirely/almost entirely uncut. So, there should be no fault with the presentation.

One of the Muppet Babies producers once said that all the Film and TV clips were licensed in perpetuity, with future media in mind. Now that the Muppet Show is happening, hopefully that's next.

But the show was shot on tape, so there's not much they can do to remaster it...

My guess is that it's going to go through the process the Henson Company used on Fraggle Rock and Emmett Otter, a heavy-duty upscale and cleanup.

I hope not. The last thing The Muppet Show needs is to have that horrible faux-film look just to make it "timeless". It's "timeless" just the way it is.

Anyway, I have to say it: as much as The Muppet Show is a great addition, this service still has stuff that's missing...

Disney + has pulled “Dumbo,” “Peter Pan,” “The Aristocats” and “Swiss Family Robinson” from its profiles for children under 7.

Disney Plus pulls ‘Peter Pan,’ ‘Dumbo,’ ‘Aristocats’ from children’s profiles after warning of stereotypes, negative depictions

'We can't change the past, but we can acknowledge it, learn from it and move forward together,' Disney says.

Its great that The Muppet Show is coming to Disney+
Now we need Muppets Tonight

 

[Hulkwummy]

Why is The Jungle Book (Animated) flagged? I watched it and I didn't see any offensive stereotypes.

I guess they don't want kids exposed to politcally incorrect material .

Probably King Louie.

 

[Dr.Pepper]

Probably King Louie.

Which is borderline ridiculous to me because King Louie is voiced by and based on a White guy.

 

[the greenman]

Right, Louis Prima was a Louisana singer back in that era. Even though he didn't exactly sound "Caucasian". Anyone knowledgeable about the demographics of that state knows they're very intermixed in behavior and attitude down there.

Also Studios loved using older singers for animation. Much like Scatman Crothers of Hong Kong Phooey fame.
