"March 2008"

March 2008 has come and gone. So has this started to air? Or is it still in development (and thus the information updated accordingly)? -- Brad D. (talk) 01:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

It's not in development (as far as I can tell, actual production wrapped awhile back and its only been a matter of selling and scheduling), but since it is premiering in Europe, that's harder to research, especially since we don't know precisely what the local translation is, which country. I'd say take out the March date but leave everything else as is for now. And actually, you might want to integrate this, from the reliable industry news source Animation World Network, from October 2007 noting a planned September 2008 date. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 01:23, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

"Claymation"

"Claymation" is a registered trademark of Will Vinton's studio, but Wikipedia says it's been genericized. I'm not sure that's official legally yet, though, so should we be using it generically? Powers 14:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I've changed the phrase to "clay animation" in case the former was going to bother anyone. —Scott (talk) 14:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I hadn't noticed it here. It's bothered me a bit on Arnold (claymation) as well. I don't think just because some people tend to use it generically justifies its use there. I'm not sure that should have been disambiged anyway, just for a redirect to Arnold, but I keep meaning to move it to Arnold (animated character) or the like. Especially since Vinton's studio has done Sesame Street work (i.e. Cecille). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 17:03, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
