**Jimmy Kustes** · 01-27-2002, 11:21 AM

**John-Paul** · 01-27-2002, 11:42 AM

I would lke to see more geriatric based programming. Geriatric tom and jerry. Geriatric muppets. Geriatric Tiny toons. An old dog named scooby doo.

Here's the Article:

Can you say Muppet Babies?
By Steven Dolan

The upcoming year is gonna be bizzare for the toon world as we know it.Action fans will love thier old friends He-Man,Spiderman and those painters who like pizza but We'll also see Bugs,Felix,Mickey and Popeye in ways you've never seen them before.They'll all be back.....................as babies! Something the muppets started years ago.Felix will star in "The Baby Felix and Friends Show" while Mickey and friends are slated to star in "Disney Babies:The animated series" and Popeye will star in "Before he was a sailor man" which is so far just a special but may get spun into a series.In "Before he was a sailor man" there will be no fighting.It will tell the story of how Popye ate his first bowl of spinish and Brutus only has a cameo.There will also be "Baby Looney Tunes" and there was even talk of a baby Batman !(We ain't joking).Right now we think animators should think of something original.Geriatric Tom and Jerry prehaps?

**Zorakfan** · 01-27-2002, 04:27 PM

WHAT! NO FAIR! They stole my idea! Damnit! I've had that idea for like...a year! DAMN YOU, DOLAN!

**mbaker** · 01-27-2002, 04:30 PM

Be afraid. Be veeeerrrrrrryy afraid.

**Frosty** · 01-27-2002, 04:38 PM

In the words of Sam Beckett, Oh Boy. We struggled for the better part of the last decade to get out of the Dark Ages of Animation when it was only viewed as someting for the kids on Saturday Mournings, and now this. Remember Yo Yogi ? The Bedrock Flintstone Kids? How about A Pup named Scooby Doo ? Taking our most beloved Animated Characters and transforming them into kids is a sign of creative bankruptcy, usually. With Tiny Toons though you had the feeling that their was an intense amount of brilliance behind the scenes that never saw the light of day. After all wasn't Bruce Timm involved ? We may not be so lucky this time. How about a baby Fritz the Cat while their at it, I'd like to see had they'd try to sell that to kids.

That's it!
I quit!
Let me off this planet.

Oh, okay. Not that I didn't trust you, I just wanted to see how reliable this source is, which, now I know, must be pretty reliable if it's in a newspaper. Thanks anyways!

Has this guy been reading the "Babies" thread at the TTTP?

**Deltamon** · 01-27-2002, 06:54 PM

This it sad...uber sad. This is just...bottom-of-the-barrel stuff, man. I swear, if even ONE of these shows gets to be a sucess, it'll be a dang miracle.

And you better be kiddin' 'bout the Batman Baby thing.

Here's a similar article from today's paper (The above was from Friday):

Williams Street is having a baby
By Steven Dolan

Williams Street has announced plans to do Space Ghost Babies as a spoof of the current toon craze.My guess is that it will air on Adult Swin,Cartoon Network's night of "Adult" programming.The show will star Space Ghost,Zorak,Brak,Moltar,Lokar and the council of doom as babies.

Okay, now I'm starting to think that this thing is inaccurate. Are you pulling are leg? Not that I want to accuse you of that, but several baby announcements, two days in a row, by the same author? Coincidence?
