WWE to Produce Straight-to-DVD Animated Flintstones Film. Yes, Really.

Warner Bros. announced today that they were partnering up with, get this, WWE to produce a new straight-to-DVD and Blu-ray animated Flintstones movie, starring a cast of wrestlers, including John Cena and CM Punk. The irony being that John Cena recently replaced Fred Flintstone as the long-time face of Fruity Pebbles.

The Muppets Clips

Disney and Muppets Studio have released a whopping five actual clips from their upcoming feature film, The Muppets. Embedded above and below you will find the videos, extracts from the film, which give us our first real look at how the actual film will feel, and of the newest Muppet, Walter. The clip, 'Showdown', is also the same one that was aired during The Muppets' appearance on WWE Raw this past Monday.

    

In addition to being very funny, the clips give us an idea of how the film will compare to the high standard set by Jim Henson's creations.



I can't wait to see The Muppets in cinemas very soon; The Muppets is released at Thanksgiving time in America and arrives over here in December.

Note, the fifth clip, 'Shocking', won't play for me, however, if you want to try for yourself, head on over to The Muppet Mindset to give it a shot.
