Welcome to At the Movies special video episode. I'm afraid Gene and Roger 
couldn't be with us. So, as a special treat we are honored to have filling in 
for them Baby Plucky. Here are the movies he will be reviewing today: 

Terminator 2
Batman Returns
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Tiny Toons: How I Spent My Vacation
(Possible Spoilers Ahead!!!)


































So, here we go. Baby Plucky, let's start with Terminator 2.

Terminator biggggg. OOOOOOOOH. Too Loud. T-1000 fall down the hole. Terminator 
fall down the hole. OOOOOOOOH. Too Hot.

OK, what about Batman Returns.

Penguin fall down the hole. Penguin come back. EEEEEEEEEW. Penguin fall down 
the hole again. Batman fall down the hole. OOOOOOOOOH. Penguin no come back up 
the hole. Too dark.

Ahem, right. What about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Turtles go down the hole. Foot soldiers go down the hole. Casey Jones go down 
the hole. OOOOOOOOH. Turtles come back. EEEEEEEEEEW.

Yes, of course. Finally, your impressions on Tiny Toons: How I Spent My 
Vacation?

OOOOOOOH. Too young. No see.

Well, that's all for At the Movies this time. Good night. 

You no say goodnight. I say goodnight!

True, they do call attention to the pantslessness issue quite a bit,
too.  Babs's "I'll fit right in." in Thirteensomething, Buster's "I'm
not wearing any pants." (subtle, huh) in the Bungle Boys commercial,
The Gatorette's "Look, it's our boy with no pants!" in HISMV, etc.

  Right. But somebody has to defend our show from the nay-sayers. Otherwise,
readers of rec.arts.animation will only see "Tiny Toons is a rip-off" messages
and conclude that (since nobody counterargues) that it's true.

  While the individual skits were nothing to alert the news media about, the
episode as a whole was a very good spoof of the real SNL. I dunno, the sum
was bigger than its parts for me, and I enjoyed it. It also served as a nice
time capsule of the real SNL, including stuff from way back when all the way
up 'til now.

  SAMUARI FILM CRITIC was a terrific idea -- oh, why couldn't John Belushi
done that in real life?!? The actual sequence was a little off, mostly IMO
because of poor mouth-dubbing. Wang's animation seemed to have slipped a
little bit with this episode.

  I liked the fact that they used a "real" guest-host.

  This was a very funny takeoff of Bill Murray's "World's Worst Lounge Lizard"
act, and Hamton's piano playing struck me as a little swing at Paul Shaffer
on LATE NIGHT.

  Actually, maybe that's what's wrong with the episode: You have to _really_
know SNL to catch all of the references. If you don't, something like Plucky's
bit seems out of place, while those in the know will get more enjoyment out of
it.

Very predictable, but OK.  I thought the Batman mask and the "No, my

Yeah, it was formerly of PDS.  Two questions:  Could anyone read what
Patrick Swayze's job was?  I think it may have been dancer, but I
couldn't make it out for sure.  Also, anyone catch the line under 
the Bush & Quayle headline?

"One mistake, big deal."  I thought that was cute.  I kind of liked this

Poignant.  Exactly the word I was planning to use.  Thanks for stealing

Overall,  not a particularly funny episode, but a rather good one.

I know she didn't do the live-action reference, but Jasmine looked an 
awful lot like a brunette Princess Aurora (SLEEPING BEAUTY)--same angular
face--with *heavy* Sherri Stoner influences (slim and petite, long flowing 
hair, big cartoony eyes).  Maybe Disney just can't seem to get away from 
Stoner's Ariel/Belle mold.

But it's not enough.
I have been wondering what the heck is going on with Fifi anyway.  I mean,
she was fairly visible in the first season, but these past two seasons...
I dunno - "The Amazing Three" and the slumber party episode are the only
two with any really good Fifi exposure.

The undersea episode?  What an insult!  They take an idea that could have
given her both great lines and lots of visibility and turn it into nothing
but an Elmyra double-short!

Also, as it has been pointed out, Fifi should have been a prominent character
in the Sneezer/fart short (Heck, Kath Soucie *is* Sneezer, would it of been
so difficult to give Fifi a line or two?!?)  She could have, and should have
been used in this short. >:-(

Finally, again, as has been pointed out.  I was severely disappointed Fifi
didn't get mentioned in the rap song on the Toon TV episode.

It seems like the writers are going out tof their way to avoid her.
Sorry for so much complaining, but this lack of attention has put a big damper
on the series for me.
