Arthur Christmas was in development at least as far back as 2007, when it was first announced. But is there really no chance it's coincidental? Christmas cartoons do tend to overlap in storylines...

Not to this extent. And since the storyline is so "original" for Christmas cartoons there is no chance Prep and Landing got it from somewhere else either. The opening scenes of Elves in camouflage doing a Mission Impossible caper at the beginning of both cartoons are nearly identical. I believe in coicidences. But Occam's Razor says whoever came up with the story for Prep And Landing ripped Arthur Christmas off.

Yeah, what was up with Revolution dipping into that old sci-fi trope?

Is it confirmed Boo won't be in Monsters University at all? Not even a cameo or a flashforward?

You haven't seen the second or third Cinderellas? I haven't either, but I heard the second one sucked and the third one was enjoyable. I'm looking forward to owning them! I have a lot of love for Mulan, so I'll probably be getting that.

Revolution: I didn't get it at all. This show usualy goes for the realism and they botched it.

Monster University: No confirmation from the producers (I'm avoiding spoilers) but since it IS a prequel it seems very unlikely to me. But it would be GREAT to get an update on her and the monsters' futures in the last scene.

Prep And Landing: I'll level with you. As a Disney completist I will probably get them at some point. But they are SO not on my priorities list.

Monster University: Ah, cool, we'll have to wait and see.

Prep And Landing: Yeah, same here. Almost got Cinderellas at Best Buy, but I think I'll order it from Amazon (same price, really). I'm looking forward to it, especially after seeing the original again and with Jennifer Hale on A:EMH, I want to see how she does as Cindy.
