Just when you thought comedian Patton Oswalt’s viral hit rant from ‘Parks and Recreation‘ couldn’t get any better, along comes an animated version of quite possibly the greatest movie pitch of all time.

Sara Franks-Allen — Fri, 17 May 2013 16:14:21 +0000

A company like Disney, which has been around for ages and maintains a family-friendly image, is bound to be the subject of some strange stories. But are any of them true? Is Walt Disney's body lying frozen beneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, waiting to be revived? Was Donald Duck really banned in Finland because he doesn't wear pants? Did Disney really make a cartoon to teach girls about their time of the month? TheFW has the real story on these and more of the most popular Disney urban legends

Disney Glams Up Merida from 'Brave,' Fans Freak Out

Emerald Catron — Thu, 16 May 2013 20:52:33 +0000

Merida, the heroine from ‘Brave,’ was officially proclaimed the 11th Disney Princess. But instead of celebrating, people got angry. Fans were happy to see Merida being recognized as an official Disney princess because of her independent nature and un-Disney princess looks. Or they would have been, if Disney hadn’t redesigned Merida and taken those things [...]

Disney Meets 'Gatsby' in 'The Great Catsby' Trailer

Emerald Catron — Mon, 13 May 2013 19:14:38 +0000

Why watch ‘The Great Gatsby’ when you could watch ‘The Great Catsby’??? Â We had that same thought, bu Guyism went one step farther and created this mashup using the trailer’s audio and clips from ‘The Aristocats’ to make ‘The Great Catsby.’ At least, we’re pretty sure it’s a mashup. To be quite honest, it’s been [...]

The 10 Worst Moms in Pop Culture

Donald Deane — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:27:09 +0000

If movies and TV have taught us anything, it's that all mothers are NOT created equal. While some fictional moms might be willing to play the doting matriarch, others engage in twisted mind games, dole out severe corporal punishment and even commit murder most foul. Think about that the next time you forget to call your mom on Mother's Day.

Inspired by the movie 'Monsters University,' DeviantArt user Hyung86 decided to portray classic Disney characters as though they were modern day college students. We think these are pretty great.

Man Animates His Mom's Epic Retelling of 'The Matrix'

Emerald Catron — Thu, 02 May 2013 17:02:43 +0000

To be honest, we haven't watched 'The Matrix' in probably 13 years, so we'd just like to thank this guy's mom for the refresher! Although we're pretty sure the dude's name is Morpheus, not Moshimo. Regardless, we're pretty sure this is a fairly accurate plot synopsis, and the accompanying animation keeps us from nodding off like we usually do when somebody tells us what a movie is about.

Kristy Puchko — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:33:07 +0000

Everybody's always picking on Michael Bay. You know, because of 'Transformers, 'Transformers 2' and pretty much every other film he's directed. But give the guy a chance, maybe get to know him a little bit and then go watch 'Pain and Gain' not with the burning humiliation that this is a movie from the 'Armageddon' guy, but that you're watching a film made by the man who directed your favorite milk commercial. Yes, that milk commercial. Here are 10 things you didn't know about Michael Bay.

6 People Who Apologized For Their Own Movie

Eddie Wright — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:43:14 +0000

On April 22, it was reported that Michael “I Make Things Go Boom” Bay, apologized to a reporter from The Miami Herald for the third act of his 1998 smash, ‘Armageddon.’ He said: I will apologize for Armageddon, because we had to do the whole movie in 16 weeks.

In case you're living under a rock (not under The Rock...that would be weird), then you probably know that 'Pain and Gain'is the latest thrillride from action-meister Michael Bay. Only this time, Bay is back in the guns-and-gags mode of his hit 'Bad Boys' franchise.

Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to the glorious world of Ghanaian posters for Hollywood blockbusters. In the African country of Ghana, following the arrival of the VHS, small, transient “movie theaters” called Cinema were introduced.

Today, April 25, is the Perfect Day (According to 'Miss Congeniality')

Joe Hyer — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:06:54 +0000

Today is the perfect day. Don’t believe us? Just ask Miss Rhode Island in the popular 2000 movie ‘Miss Congeniality.’ When asked at a beauty pageant to describe her perfect date, Miss Rhode Island’s character (played by Heather Burns) does not say that it’s the typical dinner and a movie date. She, instead, says it’s [...]

Emily V. Gordon — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:26:36 +0000

In the late '80s/early '90s, how many of you were glued to books by people like Christopher Pike, R.L. Stine and A. Bates? Long before 'Twilight,' these young adult authors were churning out sordid tales of psycho teenage killers, body-switching beautiful girls and revenge fantasies that also somehow involved final exams.

The 10 Best Robots in Pop Culture

Donald Deane — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:24:07 +0000

Sadly, Matt Groening's long-running cartoon 'Futurama' was canceled earlier this week after seven seasons and 140 episodes on two different networks. Yes, we'll miss Fry, Leela and the rest of the crew, but we'll miss Bender, the acerbic, cigar-chomping robot, the most. But it's not all bad news -- Bender has rightfully earned himself a place among the most memorable robots in pop culture.

The Muppets Meet 'Fast and Furious' In Your New Favorite Mash-Up

Kim-Thao Nguyen — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:10:56 +0000

'Fast and Furious 6' is set to hit theaters next month. To gear up for this undoubtedly earth-shattering and surely unique plot, we thought it would be appropriate to join forces with another film in the league of endless sequels, prequels and trilogies. Check out the 'Fast and the Furious' franchise -- if it starred The Muppets.

Wax Nostalgic About 1999 With This Intense Montage

Emerald Catron — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 15:42:10 +0000

Time travel hasn’t been invented yet (or if it has, those jerks aren’t telling us), so this is probably the next best thing. Just grab your yearbook and play this on a loop. You’ll find yourself transported back to 1999, when there were just as many girl groups as boy groups, and everybody’s midriff was [...]
