Oh Ye Bloggers of Little Habit...
I'm going to do some cleaning around here at the end of the week. All bloggers that I've linked to on my links page who haven't blogged in over a month with be summarily removed from the light that is Swingbug's Home Page and plunged into the darkened netherworld of the lost and forgotten.

You're depressing me. Here I am looking for a little distraction at work and I click on your site only to find nothing new yet again. I hit refresh, hoping against hope that something will magically appear, but alas no. I'm not asking for a new entry everyday, but throw me a bone once a month, huh?

Put out or get out. You have been warned.

(I bet I catch hell for this at Sewing Circle tonight.)

Meet the Who?
In other news, Disney has released the trailer for Meet the Robinsons, a new CG they have coming out next year. It's just a teaser, but it looks surprising decent next to the crap they've got in theaters right now. Of course Disney out-sourced the piece of crap in question and they actually letting their own animators take a crack at this one. Concept. Good luck to them. With some of the big wigs over at Pixar calling the shots at WDFA, this just might turn out to be a decent film. Here's hoping.

And I must admit I did like this little gag.

(Note: I stole this picture from Jim Hill. He has a couple of good articles up on Meet the Robinsons right now. I'm hoping he'll forgive me if I plug his site.)

Fraggle Rock: The Movie?
And while I was bopping around on IMDb looking for info on Meet the Robinsons, I found a movie I didn't know about listed under Walt Disney Pictures. Fraggle Rock: The Movie, supposedly due out in 2007. I kid you not. Supposedly directed by Brian Henson and co-written by Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl (now both deceased), with what appears to be the original voice cast as well. Neither Disney nor Jim Henson Pictures say anything about it on their respective websites though. Hmm. I wonder if this project was tabled when Disney bought out the muppets? I'm going to try and do some digging. I'll keep you posted.
