I thought to myself - where should I go for some puppetry related advice and the answer came to me - those knowledgeable and friendly folks at the Muppetcentral forum (phew...crawling over!!!!) I recently read a very interesting and informative thread here about Arm Rods and someone talked...

Hi Guys! Yes, especially for all of you that missed it - here are some pictures I grabbed from Kermit's Appearance on 'Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway'. http://www.geocities.com/wuwouk/guysmiley/ Be warned though - it is hosted by GeoCities, so it means I have limited bandwidth -...

Hi everyone - haven't been logged into the board for absolutely *ages*, although I have been lurking and reading! Here in the UK we got a video box set of The Muppet Show and then more recently the same thing on DVD - as an HMV exclusive product (do you have hmv in the us?). Anyway, I...

Hey there! I was just watching MFS the other day and thought I would watch to see if there were any hidden references in there for us crackpot fans. So, I'm watching the bit where the spaceship lands and as its coming down there is this crane shot that flies over the crowd as they all look...

Labyrinth in Top20 Childrens Films Labyrinth, the Jim Henson fantasy film starring David Bowie, has made its way into the top 20 childrens films. In a poll reported by UK magazine 'The Mirror' Labyrinth came in at number 15 - with the first place being taken by 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'...

Just browsing through my listing guide and see that the Greek Myths are on this week at 12.35pm on BBC2 on Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri. Strangely, halfway through the week it is listed as The Storyteller - anyone able to shed any light on what we should actually expect to see this week? I...

Hi Guys! Following on from another recent thread about buying the DVDs they arrived during last week and having only watched one (A Story Short) I have come to a brief conclusion.... BRILLIANT Warrick said I would love them and I do! Just thought I would share that thought with my...

Hi Guys! I was just wondering, because here in the UK MUPPET is used as an insult if someone does something stupid or thick as in 'You are such a muppet!' Just wondered if this happened across the pond as well!? Cheers, Guy!

Hi Guys! I have noticed that the 'Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson' gets mentioned a lot on this forum - and I was wondering if it would be possible to make an addition to the website - like the Season one Guide that talks about the episodes in detail, a bit like a transcript of it, I suppose...

Just thought you might be interested (if you weren't already aware) - there is a chain of Poster shops in the UK called ATHENA and whilst browsing today I noticed they had some muppet posters... There were a couple of Sesame Street ones and a few Muppet Parodies in the largest size...

Hi Guys! I was just wondering if Steve Whitmire had even given an on-camera interview at any time. I know he did one for MC, but I don't think I have ever seen him speak on camera as himself - he usually does something in character i.e. as Rizzo or Kermit or something! Just wondering, as...

Hi Guys, Got my DVD in the post this morning and, yes this will be contraversial...I actually quite enjoyed it! Sure, it's a totally different style of muppet film than we are used to, but overall I thought it was good - great puppetry, beautifully filmed and even though the 'plot'...

Hi Guys! I was reading 'Jim Henson: Muppet Master' by Nathan Aaseng and there was a bit that talked about Miss Piggy being different to Kermit because she is able to hold things and needs two operators - one for the head and one hand, and another for the other hand. This is, obviously, not...

Hi Guys! I thought I would share this with you - even though I am not sure how much I am going to like it. I expect I will be disappointed - I think most people will be when they first see it because we all get so excited about it, talk about it for ages on here and then it becomes this...

Hi Guys! I am currently building some puppets (as you know I have posted before about them) and I am a bit stuck when it comes to the noses. I would like the noses to be 'Muppet Style' Noses, like on Ernie, Bert, Elmo, Herry Monster, Grover and the like - you know, that very simple style...

Hi Guys! Following on from the 'Best ever Muppet Moment' thread - I would be interested to hear what are all your most 'tear-jerking' moments - you know when you're watching with someone else and have to look away before you break down into an uncontrollable wreck....anyway I digress! For...

Hey, Warrick, You seem to have an absolute wealth of knowledge about the muppets so I just thought I would ask as a fellow Brit if you knew whether or not we would be getting a release of Kermit's Swamo Years or the new MTI or MCC DVDs that everyone has been talking about. I really hope we...

I was browsing through my DVD of MFS today and thought I would have a look at the outtakes and completely by accident stumbled across another two pages of outtakes I never knew where there!!! I expect this was different on the US release, but in the bottom right hand corner of the screen was...

Hi! I saw an advert (in the UK) for Virgin Atlantic Airlines by Miss Piggy - I don't think it is new, but it is the first time I have seen it! - and was just wondering if this was Eric Jacobson's piggy. If so - it is really good and sounds just like Frank's Piggy. Just Wonderin'! Guy!

Hi Guys! I recently acquired some fleece - not antron - but has a nice stretch to it. I will be using this to cover the puppet heads that I am making. This is a question for the puppet building experts among us (and I know you're there!). If making from foam [especially using the...
