Do you think it could be a cool idea?

Personally, I would love seeing all the characters on some sort of huge adventure and I think that TBC could make a killing on it.

I think thats a great idea. The problem is it would take up alot of time and they barely have any time now.

I think that considering the general philosophy of the internet, some fans wouldn't be too happy about knowing the site wouldn't receive any updates while TBC worked on it, and then having to ~use money~ to see the result afterwards!
That actually isn't really a big deal for me (though I probably wouldn't buy it); in my view the main issue is that an hour is an awful lot of time for a series designed around 3-minute segments. Unless the movie's composed of multiple skits in the same way as Monty Python, but that's different from what you're proposing. If they pulled off one long epic I'd be basically estatic, though.

Well since normal "episodes" are about three minutes long, a "full movie" could get away with being only 30 minutes instead of an hour. That would feel like a full length movie by comparison.

Also I think it's a superb idea.

DVD? Nah, i'd prefer a two hour toon on the website.

Logistically a 2 hour swf file for the web would be absolutely a nightmare to prepare. Coming from a Flash artist. It's not a good idea. It would pretty much need to be on DVD.

It'd be a 27 MB file. That's pretty big, yes, but they could make it available as a torrent or something. Even if it were logistically possible, however, I can't imagine that they'd release nine and a half months' worth of work in one go and not have the sense to charge for it. Livin' ain't cheap, you know.

The direct-to-video movie thing was just what I was thinking.
Only thing is that it needs to be released via the store.

They could just make a 3-or-more-part toon & just release that on DVD/Blu-Ray.
