Remember that crazy-sounding TMNT crossover cartoon I wrote about a while back? You know, the one where the Turtles we grew up with cross paths with the new class? Well consider me shocked, because it turns out that it is going to play in select theaters for one night only, on October 29th.

The ever-awesome Ninja Pizza broke the news, and you can find a PDF list of participating theaters here. I’ll be there for sure, I only wish they would have gotten the original voice cast from the 80s series to reprise their roles.

What about you, will you pay to see it in a theater?

I don’t know about you, but I think this looks awesome. I love the style, and I’m super pumped about he cast. Tim Daly is back as Superman, Kevin Conroy as Batman, and Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor. I haven’t read the comic, so it’ll all be new to me when I watch it. All I know is that a ton of superheroes all try to claim a bounty on Superman and Batman. That’s about all I need to know.

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies comes out on September 29th on DVD and Blu-ray.

In anticipation of Robert Zemeckis’ latest motion capture extravaganza, Disney has been touring the country with a special Christmas Carol train to raise awareness of the film and to block city streets for days at a time.

I’m not particularly excited about the film, because I usually hate motion capture, but when something like this rolls into town, I can’t pass it up. The tour includes glimpses at models, concept art, busts, and of course, a healthy dose of motion capture propaganda. They also set up an impressive outdoor, inflatable Disney Digital 3D theater to show off clips from the film.

Check out the Beatles Muppet shirt on 80stees.com!

One of the great disapointments in life is that no member of the Beatles ever appeared on the Muppet Show. The band had been broken up for six years or so by the time the Muppet Show came about, but I would have loved to see episodes starring each member. Well, I could have done without a Ringo episode, but still. Paul McCartney’s affinity for vaudeville would have been a perfect match for the show, but he would only agree to go on if he could bring the rest of Wings with him. Apparently, the producers couldn’t swing that, and now we’re left with no Muppet/Beatles crossovers.

All is not lost, however, because the Muppets still covered their fair share of Beatles songs. So without further ado, here are the best Muppet Beatles cover songs.
