Twenty years later, and they’re still cracking me up. The Simpsons has become an American staple on TV, ruling the Fox network’s airwaves longer than most any other show in the history of television. And why? Because toons are awesome, that’s why! As of today, Season 20 is now available on Blu-ray and DVD, in stores, online, and digitally. I’m doing my best not to add a “d’oh!” or a “wuhoo!” but I’ll be honest, it’s a lot more difficult than you think. Thankfully, I can let the experts do it themselves – so take a look at the cover art for the DVD package, and check out the trailer for the season. (more… )

It wasn’t big enough to take down the Avatar juggernaut, or even to best master detective Sherlock Homes, but Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, the second film in the Alvin franchise, had an amazingly strong start – thanks to the special guest appearance of the Chipettes; Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor. The CG hybrid film, mixing animated with live-action, brought in nearly $50 million over its first weekend. We’ve been looking forward to the followup for quite some time, so we’re glad to see a lot of you have, as well. Now, we just have to wait to get our hands on some of the toys!

The Best Animated Feature for the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards will be boosted to 5 contenders this year, 2 more than in previous years. Why? Because toons are awesome and we are taking over!! Well, that, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association decided it’d be so. But I like my reasoning better. The films must be 70 minutes or longer, and at least 75% digital, so Transformers wouldn’t count. The Golden Globe Award will be handed out on Sunday, January 17th at 8pm to one of the following 5 finalists: (more… )

The farce is strong in this one! Fans of either Star Wars, Family Guy, or both have something bright (dark?) to look forward to, as the two pair together in the all new Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side.

The full special will be available on December 22nd, from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, with special mention of Lucasfilm, on iTunes, DVD, and Blu-ray, all on the same day. Be sure to check out Luke (Chris), Leia (Lois), Han Solo (Peter) and Chewbacca (Brian) as they do battle with Darth Vader — who is of course Stewie. (more… )

Honest! To hype up the release of Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs now available on Blu-ray and DVD, Fox decided they’d go big — in fact, the biggest ever! For the release of third film in the Ice Age series, Fox set out to build an ice sculpture larger than any ever before, breaking the Guinness World Record in the process. The tower of frozen water measures in at just under 50 feet tall, reaching over four stories high, and b raeking the previous record by nearly 8 feet. Hopefully, for Scrat, there’s not an acorn underneath! Check out the time lapse videos of the event (more… )
