TV Shows/Movies with an animal as a primary character The January 5th is the 55th anniversary of the inaugural episode featuring everyone's favorite talking horse, Mr. Ed. To celebrate I suggest we ring in the new year with the animals!

In the first Hunger Games movie during the skills demo (when Katniss shoots the apple from the pig) it appears as if the targets are all static. That seems like a very boring and easy skills demo. Wouldn't it be more useful if the targets moved? It is shown in a later movie that the Capitol has ...

I saw this movie in 1992. Color, English. I only remember the part in which a woman is watching a documentary or a movie about a group of people going inside a cave. One of them gets injured and bleeds, accidentally spelling blood into the mouth of a a corpse. It comes back to life and attacks ...

The movie is about a single (illegal?) Latino immigrant father raising his young daughter (elementary school age) and living, I think, in Southern California.... the film centers on a day when something went wrong -- an accident? -- and the father runs from the police to protect himself and hi...

Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who portrayed a character in The Hunger Games, passed away during the middle of filming for the Mockingjay movies.

In the Hunger Games franchise, what is the state of the rest of the world? What has become of the world in this futuristic society? Is there any mention either in the movies or books which would lead us to believe what's going on outside of Panem?

In relation to my other question about "the rest of the world" in The Hunger Games, is there any indication as to how the rest of the world sees what's happening in Panem? In today's society, if there is a huge upheaval going on in another country (especially one as large as Panem), there would b...

In 1984 when Kyle and Sarah, having destroyed the only known enemy robot in their timeline, approach their one-shot Time Displacement Engine (TDE), they get into an argument about whether they should travel to 1997 or 2017. At no point do they question whether they should jump forward in time a...

As seen in many episodes of teen wolf, mountain ash has been used to trap the 'supernatural' inside a circle etc etc. For example, in season 5 (episode 9 or 10?) Liam trapped Scott inside the mountain ash circle. There's one thing that I'm not fully certain about. Why didn't Scott throw a table o...

Why do people in some cartoons not have heads/faces shown? Examples are Mammy Two Shoes in Tom and Jerry and the secretary in The Powerpuff Girls, it seems Cow and Chicken even made fun of it with the parents being only legs - visible in shadows.

When Danaerys "reunites" with Drogo in the House of the Undying in S2E10: "Valar Morghulis" what is the wind instrument playing? Some kind of horn or flute thing?

Color is often used intentionally in movies. I found it interesting that the color palette for the winter dress that Anna bought in Oaken's store is similar to Anna's coronation dress. I don't know why the producers of the movie decided to depart from what seems like Anna's standard green palette...

was watching this film in 200X. Tt is about 2 friends or brothers. Younger is getting into troubles and older is helping to get out. This older (seems like working a bartender) in the end puts on jacket (or cap - I don't remember) of this younger guy and got mistakenly shot by some criminal when ...
