As you undoubtedly know, San Diego’s Comic-Con International happened this past weekend, and I was fortunate to be amongst the tens of thousands of attendees. There was, as always, a mega-ton to see and do, and it was hard to keep the Fomo (Fear Of Missing Out) from getting completely out of control over the 4.5 days of the con. To stay sane, though, at some point you just have to accept that you’re going to miss a bunch, and focus on what you do have the opportunity to see.
This year, one of my main interests was what Nickelodeon was showcasing. Of course, Nickelodeon is always on my radar, and particularly the current Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series, which I adore. But even beyond the coolness that is the Tmnt, this year, Nickelodeon was focusing on its past – in the best way possible. Through its late-night programming block of “The Splat,...

Nickelodeon has been spending some time in its prestigious archives, sifting through the likes of Ren & Stimpy, Rocko’s Modern Life, The Wild Thornberrys and the beloved Hey Arnold! series as it looks to bring back the NickToons of yesteryear. Out of the candidates for a revival, the studio has reportedly settled on the latter property, which will be strutting back onto the small screen soon in the form of a made-for-tv movie.
Word comes by way of Variety, who report that newly-appointed executive Chris Viscardi is keen to tap into some of the palpable nostalgia with this renewed focus. Spearheading the charge is a new installment in the Hey Arnold! series which would, in an attempt to tie up the loose ends of the original show, locate the whereabouts of Arnold’s parents.

Hey, football head! Back in November, Variety confirmed that Nickelodeon is developing a new Hey Arnold! TV movie, which will "feature a storyline that picks up where the original series ended and resolves unanswered plotlines–including the whereabouts of Arnold’s parents, long missing from the program."
Today, Variety has unleashed a few more Hey Arnold! scoops. We now know that the TV movie sequel to the original series is going by the title Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie and that Alfred Molina is among its cast.
Spider-Man 2's Doc Ock actor will play Lasombra, "an infamous river pirate operating from a secret compound in the jungles of San Lorenzo."
Mason Vale Cotton is the new voice of Arnold, while the original Arnold - Lane Toran - will lend his voice to 'several other roles'. Who wants to bet that one of them is Arnold's dad?
Much of the original cast is returning, too. Francesca Marie Smith will reprise Helga, Anndi McAfee will play Phoebe again, Justin Shenkarow returns as Harold, Olivia Hack is back as Rhonda, and Nika Futterman is Olga once more.
The original voice of Gerald - Jamil Smith - has been replaced by Benjamin Flores Jnr. Smith, like Mr Toran, will voice some other characters.

Books have been a mainstay in Hollywood's never-ending search for film ideas, and while the adage "you should read the book" will never leave the mouths of frustrated moviegoers, a few more tomes have been picked up for film adaptation. As usual, there may be a few who are disappointed.
Young Adult fans might be familiar with author Libba Bray's "Gemma Doyle Trilogy," but probably less so with her upcoming "The Diviners." Set for release in September, "The Diviners" is the first of what will be a four-part series that will follow Evie O'Neill, a young New York transplant, who must use her mysterious powers to stop a series of occult-based murders. Since the book has yet to be published, we're sure that there's not many who will be bummed that their favorite book might get compromised on its way to the big screen. Still, those eventual fans might...

The 1970's children's "I Can Read" books "Frog and Toad" are heading for a big screen animated adventure. Jim Henson Co., the company that created The Muppets and all their films, will make the movie. Craig Bartlett, the creator and writer of the kids TV series "Dinosaur Train" and "Hey Arnold!", is writing the screenplay. Hoodwinked! writer-director Cory Edwards will helm. "Frog and Toad' author Arnold Lobel's children Adrienne Lobel and Adam Lobel will produce.
What this means is that the silver screen will soon be hopping with toads since at least two Mr. Toad movies are in development (Wind in the Willows and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride).

Hoodwinked's Cory Edwards will take up directorial reins, with Dinosaur Train creator Craig Bartlett set to oversee screenplay
It's a movie about anthropomorphic amphibians from the company famous for bringing The Muppets to our screens, but there's not so much as a flash of Kermit the frog to be seen. The Jim Henson Company is preparing to adapt the children's books Frog and Toad for the multiplexes, according to Variety.
There are four instalments in Arnold Lobel's series, published between 1970 and 1979 and still hugely popular with children. All focus on the title characters, a friendly frog and his rather more curmudgeonly toad friend. Lobel, who died in 1987, wrote and illustrated each of the books.
"Frog and Toad has tremendous value with parents who read these charming stories when they were children and are now sharing them with their own kids," said Lisa Henson of the Jim Henson Company.

While we’re pleased to see the Jim Henson Company continuing to expand its filmmaking horizons, the team’s latest announcement does have us worrying whether Kermit – heretofore the company’s most famous amphibian actor – will throw a diva fit at the news. Because the new Henson project is an adaptation of children’s books series Frog And Toad. Originally written and illustrated by Arnold Lobel in the 1970s, the books chronicle the exploits of a pair of web-footed friends who are, less-than-shockingly, a frog and a toad. The book’s tales are easy-to-comprehend slice-of-life stories, with the pair flying a kite, cleaning a house and arguing about the shortcomings of string theory. All right, maybe not the last one.Craig Bartlett, a man no stranger to writing for a younger audience (he’s worked on Us kids’ shows such as Dinosaur Train, Sid The Science Kid and Hey Arnold!

This week: Will there be a sequel to Shelter? What makes an anti-slur word offensive? Are gay foreign films better than American ones?
Have a question about gay male entertainment? Contact me here (and be sure and include your city and state and/or country!)
Q: Hey Arnold, the popular 1990s TV show on Nickelodeon, is known for subtly touching on issues which most, if not all, other children's shows wouldn't touch. For example, one of the character's moms was obviously an alcoholic, and the kids' fourth-grade teacher was gay (this was confirmed by the guy who made the show, Craig Bartlett). Are there any other children's shows with gay characters, whose gayness has been officially confirmed? -- Selina, Suny Oneonta
A: You’re right that creator Craig Barlett did confirm, after-the-fact, that Robert Simmons, Arnold’s second fourth grade teacher (voiced by Frasier’s Dan Butler, an out actor), was gay.
