The Peanuts gang learns a valuable lesson in the importance of security after Linus learns that his grandmother plans to rid him of his beloved blanket during an upcoming visit in this animated special inspired by the comic strips of Charles Schulz. Wherever Linus goes, his blanket is sure to follow. But when Linus learns that his fuzzy, ever-present companion may soon be taken away from him, his friends all rally to highlight the importance of letting go. Somewhere between Lucy's arm-chair psychiatry, Snoopy's scheming to claim the blanket for himself, and Charlie Brown's inability to act while seeing his friend in distress, however, the insightful owner of the blanket in question points out the fact that everyone has a comfort item that helps them through hard times, and that sometimes when the going gets tough the best we can do is hang on and hope that things will get better soon. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

As the Man of Steel prepares to reveal himself to the world and declare his longstanding love for "Daily Planet" reporter Lois Lane, an old nemesis teams with a foe of unlimited power to wreak havoc over Metropolis in this animated adventure that pits Superman against a villain the likes of which the world has never seen. A powerful computer with a special strain of kryptonite infused to his body and a hunger for world domination, Brainiac forges an unholy alliance with the dreaded Lex Luthor that aims to bring the world's most famous superhero to his knees. When a force beam originally intended to take out Superman instead blasts Lane, the race is on for the desperate hero to enter the dreaded Phantom Zone and find the cure that will restore her health. The nefarious partnership between Luthor and Brainiac takes a turn for the worse, however, when, believing The Man of Steel to have buckled under the pressure of his powerful blast, Brainiac betrays his one-time partner to strike terror into the very heart of Metropolis. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

If the computer-animated Veggie Tales could serve up a dish of anthropomorphic talking vegetables, it was only fair that anthropomorphic talking fruit be given their own TV cartoon series. The setting of the weekly, half-hour Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island was a tiny tropical isle populated by humanized bananas, melons, berries, and citrus fruit. Coconut Fred (a coconut--what else?) was the wackiest resident of Fruit Salad Island, whose zany schemes and Herculean efforts to solve life's problems invariably brought trouble to his neighbors. Even so, Fred was a cockeyed coconut optimist, and never tired of hatching new ideas, each one "nuttier" than the last. There are those who intimated that this series, which featured two short adventures per episode, was an attempt to copy the popular cable effort SpongeBob SquarePants, but audiences were too busy laughing to worry about the comparision. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island was first telecast on the WB network's Saturday-AM schedule on September 17, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
