bah. this is nothing new. i remember watching the he man movies, the gi joe movie, the transformers movie, and countless other dreck on the big screen when i was a kid, all blatant advertising vehicles for toy lines... my cousin (girl) was all about the care bears, she ra, and my little pony movies. this is as old as time. nowadays, you see barney, pokemon, and veggie tales all getting prime screen time, and you can bet your ass that there's a whole line of toys waiting at your nearest retailer for your kids to scoop up and experience a complete saturation of marketing bliss. try watching the commercials during saturday morning cartoons. they are milking these little zombies for every cent their parents can shill out.
