Buzz In: What Was Your Favorite Childhood Cartoon?
The news of the Smurfs turning 50 this week has gotten me thinking about other favorite cartoons of my childhood. I used to love waking up super-early (I know!) to sneak in a few hours of cartoons before school or weekend activities, and I was particularly fond of She-Ra: Princess of Power and Jem and the Holograms. For a while, there were some great after-school cartoons going on, too, including DuckTales!

Smurfs Movie to Be CGI and Live-Action, Like Chipmunks
We've seen the very early basic designs for the CGI (and possibly 3-D) Smurfs movie, and today there's news that Sony has snatched up the film rights, and they plan to make it just like last year's Alvin and the Chipmunks movie — with live-action actors alongside the animated blue guys (and gal). Variety continues:
[Producer Jordan] Kerner said the genesis of the current project began during a holiday conversation with Sony Pictures Entertainment chairman-CEO Michael Lynton, who grew up with Les Schtroumpfs in the Netherlands. "He relished them as I do and suggested that it should be a live-action/CG film," he said.
