The Pound Puppies to Discovery and Hasbro’s Hub
Introduced by Tonka in the 1980s, Pound Puppies was a popular cartoon and toy line that even had it’s own feature film. The toys were soft, adoptable plush puppies, and the toon featured dogs every bit as lovable.

The series, which will launch with the network on October 10th, stars a team of fearless dogs who find homes for puppies in need – “A pup for every person and a person for every pup.” The Pound Puppies do everything they can to help dog-kind, even pretending to just be a regular dog to those who work at Shelter 17.

Marvel releases Wolverine and the X-Men: Final Crisis Trilogy DVD
The X-Men seem like a nice group of fellas. With Professor Xavier at the helm, Cyclops leads the team of Mutants into battle, always successfully thwarting Magneto and other villains along the way.

Xavier has portrayed an apocalyptic future world, that needs the X-men, with Wolverine at the lead, to save it. The Phoenix is in danger, Magneto has launched the Sentinel army, Master Mold aims to track down, and kill, every mutant on the planet … yeah, doesn’t sound so fun. But, it makes for a darn good DVD! Especially seeing the heroes fight their way through this fright fest for the side of good. Take a look at the official write up below, then head to your local video store to pick it up (more… )

Disney removes Pixar’s Newt from the schedule
Pixar has championed some of the greatest animated films of the past 15 years. Heck, they’ve been responsible for some of the best cinematic experiences, animated or otherwise, during that span. And, for every awesome project they’ve completed, there are dozens if not hundreds of more ideas that never made it to completion. Sadly, one of the expected upcoming films, Newt, could share that same doomed fate. In a recent schedule reshuffling that saw Beauty and the Beast 3D get pulled from the calendar, Disney’s Newt was silently removed, as well. The Pixar film was intended to hit theaters in 2012, focusing on the last two blue-footed newts on earth, hoping to save their species from extinction.
