Cool.

I found it kind of funny how the tags for that Youtube video led to some rather interesting choices for related content, like one of the chase scenes from Die Another Day for instance. And I think something from the Italian parliament as well.

That's odd. At 0:05, Mac's in the house dining room...in his pajamas, and his hair's tousled like he just got up. I wouldn't have thought he'd have been allowed to sleepover.

Yay, thank you for uploading that, Cass!

And it looked to me like it's a "Thanksgiving" themed movie, too.

Ah, there's the ad. Pretty quick ad, for one of the network's most popular shows......
Is that a Super Mario Bros. reference at 00:18?

It sure looks like one, after all Foster's has been peppered with old school video game references all throughout it's run.

Judging from the background it looks a reference to Super Mario Bros 3, the best Mario game of them all.

When I first watched it my initial impression was that the movie might be a variation on the old "trapped in a videogame" plot.

Just over 55 hours until showtime.

From the short trailer (cheers, Cass), this has the looks of some kind of Narnia/Alice In Wonderland-style adventure...though for some reason I can't stop thinking of the Twilight Zone episode "Little Girl Lost". Hey, the dog's name in that was Mac (or possibly Mack - I never saw it in written form).

Should be good, anyhow.

I thought that as well. However it plays out, it's not looking like the usual Foster's style. One of the things I've always liked about the show is that aside from the Imaginary Friends themselves, the stories were fairly ordinary, things that could happen in our own world (with comic enhancements, of course). Store Wars is a good example of what I mean; the plot could work for a number of past and current sitcoms without too much tinkering (albeit not as well as it worked for Foster's

). Destination Imagination is something new, something different, I think, and aside from the excitement of it being a new Foster's story I'm also mighty curious to see just how different it is.
