"Destination Imagination" speculation and discussion

[Cassini90125]

As the title says, this thread is for speculation and, in 13 days, discussion about Destination Imagination, the upcoming Foster's movie event. If you learn anything about the movie and want to pass that info along, this is the place to do so, and if I manage to record a commercial for the movie, you'll find a YouTube link and screencaps here as well.

What do we know so far? Very little. We have the movie's name and airdate but little more. The only information I know of concerning the plot is as follows:

Full credit and my thanks to ORD for passing this along. Hard to know what to make of this; at first glance it doesn't feel like a Foster's story to me. It kind of reminds me of the beginning of The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe to some extent, based on what I know of it (I never saw the movie or read the book). I'm pretty much drawing a blank at the moment. Any ideas, y'all?

I am going to hold off saying or thinking too much about the plot of this movie until the full story is told from fade in: to fade out:, sure the plot sounds a little out there for a show that has established what can best described as a kind of "rubber band reality" in which a typical story fluctuates between cartoon and realistic at the drop of a hat. But there are ways to take a story like this and still keep it grounded in said reality, but as said before one cannot really make any kind of assumption until the finished product is viewed.

Because I've said it once, I'll say it a million times one of the best things I like about Foster's is that sometimes a storyline can keep you guessing as to what is going to happen right up until the very end, just when you think you know the answers they go and change the questions.

If that's for real, we're in for a heck of a ride, aren't we?

But as soon as I read the part where Cassini said "Hard to know what to make of this; at first glance it doesn't feel like a Foster's story to me.", I immediately thought "Wikipedia's at it again!", even though apparently it's not the case...?

...Maybe in this imaginary world, imaginary friends create humans!

I was expecting to see the first ad last night during "Har Har Tharsdays", since that's when they usually first air ads for the next week. Granted, Thanksgiving isn't next week, but I was still hoping they'd start advertising it by now. CN's being dumb. I hope Craig and Co. aren't offended at the lack of advertising, thus lack of "interest", CN is paying their once biggest rating grabber. Don't worry guys, we still love you! <--that's waving "hi" btw, not "bye"

It's all as if CN is wanting us to think that Foster's never existed...

I did a check on TVGuide.com and it will air November 27 at 8 PM ET/PT with a replay following.

BRILLIANT! AMAZING! STUPENDOUS! None of those words describe this special! XD Okay, they all do. It was great, and we finally got a decent role for Frankie. She almost seemed like a damsel in distress. World [what people are calling the villain] was a great character. My favorite part was when Mr. Herrimen, from Frankie's point of view, tried to get World to literally SUFFOCATE TO DEATH in a toybox.

That's what happened with Craig's last show, The Powerpuff Girls. You see, every few years, when Cartoon Network'ss profits are waaaaaaaaaaaay down, they have to literally destroy the entire channel and everything that people remember from it. Camp Lazlo, Gym Partner, Squirrel Boy, Billy and Mandy, Out of Jimmy's Head, Foster's, and everything you remember from about a year ago have been completely removed from the schedule. It's a smart business move, as the ratings have gone waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up. This is the natural order of things whether or not we like it. I got teary eyed while typing this. This proves how much of a dork I am.

Bloo's my best friend...and now he's dead...

*slaps myself for getting too attachted to a drawing*

OMG! I saw the commercial this morning and it just gave me a heartbeat when I saw the gang! I am SO going to watch it Thursday!!!!!!!!

I do not know if I said anything here already. I found this movie wonderful, and adventurous! Everyone had an equal part (even though it centered around you-know-who), and everything about it, spelled AAA. I found the quality in writing equal to the older episodes. Kudos to the writing team. This movie is destined for an award.

Saw it. Loved it.

The ending was exactly what I thought it would be.

All: "But Frankie we need you!"
Eduardo: "I miss how you sew up my beanie baggies when they rip!"
Wilt: "I'm sorry but I miss how you pumped up my basketballs so they were always just right!"
Mac: "I miss how you help with my homework, even if it's like a really long math problem!"
Coco: (Who knows?)
Bloo: "Besides, who's gonna make us Frankie Foster's famous french toast?"

If I thought the only reason people liked having me around was because of the chores I take care of and the the stuff I do for them I'd be pretty fracked off myself. People need to know that they're appreciated for who they are, not just for what they do.

Agreed.
