Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a short report on the goings on during the FAMILY GUY dvd movie panel from this past weekend's Comic-Con. I wish I could have been there, but I was stuck interviewing hot blondes. Woh is me, right? Anyway, I wish I could get a little more detail about the footage shown, but at least it's a tease... interesting to see how Fox is planning on cross-releasing this on both DVD and TV... Still, I can't wait! I love FAMILY GUY almost as much as I love taffy... and I love taffy... hmmm... taffy...

Hi Harry-

I was looking at the Comic Con coverage and hadn't seen anything on the Family Guy panel for the strait to DVD movie "Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story".

The panel began with a short intriduction of the film. It was said that it will follow Stewie in his quest to find his real father after a near death experiance.

The movie was originally intended to be a three part episode, but the Fox pushed for a full movie, so they added and introduction and closing (for more see the clips farther down). The movie WILL be shown on television in three parts, and on DVD. The DVD will feature material that the broadcast wont (ie swearing, etc.) and the TV version will contain material that the DVD doesn't have, so Fox is forcing the fans to both buy the DVD and watch the show to get the eintire thing.

After the introduction and a few questions the first clip played. It was a trailer for the film that began with the news casters Tom and Diane givign their news report about the premier of the Stewie Griffin movie. It then proceded to show a series of breif clips that while funny seemed disjointed. After the clips there was more Q&A which was pretty boring (sadly nothing real fun or exciting revealed here). During this section about half of the audience left.

Then the presentors warned us not to all leave because there was another clip. The second clip was the first 5 minutes of the film. It was a great Hollywood red carpet intro with characters from the film arriving at the premier of the film, including the main characters, and my favorite the mute covered in oil. When Peter and Lois arrive Lois is drop down drunk and proceeds to vomit, and curse (hurray for no ratings on a DVD!). Lois' drunken antics were by far the best part of the clip. I can't wait until this thing is realeased on DVD!

So anyway that is my take on the Family Guy Panel, if you use this call me Tefabob!
