In my day, we had teh Peanuts characters, and they sounded pretty much like kids. Minnesota kids, and they didn't scream until they reached anger level "ARRRGH!" But DORA... my gosh, between her and the insufferable Caillou, the two of them are always shouting, as if preschoolers are completely dense. "Look, a tree! Do you see the tree? It's a TREE!" The larger question is why I have seen any of this programming or let it upset me so, but that's a job for my shrink.

The clips were interlaced between some parodies of other TV genres, but I think the Dora-esque one was the best done: <a target="blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5CdT9it_tI">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...dT9it_tI</a>

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan I watched "Toy Story of Terror" and while it did borrow heavily from Toy Story 2's basic plot, for a 20 minute TV special, I thought it had a few good laughs and some exciting sequences. I didn't think it was nearly as good or as clever as the first Prep and Landing, but overall it wasn't a bad addition to the Halloween TV special mix. Odd that Hamm/John Ratzenberger wasn't in it, is that a Pixar first?
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I didn't even realize that Hamm wasn't in it until you said that. Weird.
