[edit] Eragon?

Should that even be mentioned in the article? It's just a trailer. Is it even relevent to the article at all? Squirepants101 03:12, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I believe so, considering wasn't a trailer, it was two 4 minute clips, and the first to be shown ever(Atleast in America), with the exception of trailers, but these were full clips! HaruharaChroni

[edit] Automated peer review

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

  • Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[1]
  • Per Wikipedia:What is a featured article?, Images should have concise captions.[2]
  • Per WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long- consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per Wikipedia:Summary style.[3]
  • There are a few occurrences of weasel words in this article- please observe WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view. For example,
    • apparently
    • might be weasel words, and should be provided with proper citations (if they already do, or are not weasel terms, please strike this comment).[4]
  • Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
    • While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 10 additive terms, a bit too much.
    • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
  • This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.[5]
  • Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a. [6]

You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, Squirepants101 13:25, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

isn't, deleting things from actul pages illegal?--Cody6 15:11, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reception

The Reception area is empty.Someone should put something for reception.

[edit] NPOV/Minor Details

"Luckily, Robin is saved from being run over..." "Unfortunately at the end they show Jimmy on his way to school and life seems to be better than before" Doesn't this show bias and is not a neutral point of view?

"But, Sonny still wants the brain and he is hiding behind a curtain with a device that he presses a button on it and a crane crashes down near Jimmy that seemed to be used for grabbing his head off. Jimmy goes to school and everyone leaves and Sonny laughs evilly and Jimmy's sister pops in and tells him to shut up. Sonny is still hunting Jimmy but doesn't seem to be a threat" Bad grammar and a whole bunch of minor details. This article needs work. jrdaigle1000 16:50, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I've fixed a few things in the plot, including that last paragraph, reducing it to this: "At the end, Jimmy walks to his school. Sonny still wants the brain and is seen hiding behind a curtain. He has a device that can grab his head. Sonny almost succeeds, but the crane misses its target." Now compare that to the old paragraph. I think we need more information for the last paragraph to make it clearer.Squirepants101 00:59, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I've tagged this article for clean-up based on what you said. Plus, I removed a fact about the movie that didn't need to be mentioned. Squirepants101 01:31, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tux

Is this film not a possible target for legal action? Tux the penguin already exists, if I went around putting my own Tony the Tiger and Bugs Bunny in my cartoons, I am sure I'd be sued, no matter how different I made my characters look or act. 74.13.38.20 04:10, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Penguins have been caricatured in tuxedoes for years, I could cite an old Bugs Bunny cartoon. Just calling one Tux is hardly unique or original, it's like calling a dog Spot. Saxophobia 00:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re-Animated (TV series)

I think there should be an article about the television series based on Re-Animated, what do you think? Or maybe at least a section of the article dedicated entirely to the series....

[edit] Nancy?

Is the character Yancy or Nancy?--Marhawkman 03:19, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Characters

It doesn't make sense to have two long lists that are almost exactly the same, so I repaced the character section with a main article link. I then added in the stuff that was only here to the other article so no content was lost. SNS 03:39, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reception

The reception section is biased, as it points only to Turner, who owns Cartoon Network. Is a third-party source available? Yngvarr (t) (c) 16:23, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I've removed it. Too much original research, too much opinions, nothing that's verifiable, "However, it was widely panned by critics and regular Cartoon Network viewers". Cite some sources which are reliable. Yngvarr (t) (c) 11:43, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DVD

Out of Jimmy's Head mentions it to come with release of this movie, yet this article has no info about the DVD, what's up with that? 82.148.70.2 15:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] spoilers?!

shouldn't there be spoiler warnings in the plot section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.229.131.30 (talk) 17:27, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
