what is puss n' boots?
The Jim Henson Company is in the works of creating and producing "Puss 'n Boots," a $35 million live-action movie with a leading role of the classic fairy tale feline . This centuries-old tale of a miller's son, a beautiful princess and a mischievous cat will be produced by Michael Gruskoff, Lisa Henson and Kristine Belson. The film will be directed by Michael Radford, and was written by Victoria Arch. Although the character of Puss has recently been made popular by the movie "Shrek 2", the Henson film will treat the character in a diffrent way (more loyal to the original story), and in it's defence, was in the works long before the "Shrek 2" character hit the screen. The film is estimated to hit theaters in 2006. At this time not much information on this project has been made public.

Of course Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Jack Frost, Cats and Dogs, and those other films mentioned are not Henson productions.

Speaking of which, does anyone remember seeing this miniseries:

http://www.hallmarkent.com/property.php?propertyId=ArabianNights

This was a project that the Creature Shop was involved in, and I remember seeing the "Jim Henson Television" logo at the end, yet the weirdest thing is, The Jim Henson Co. didn't put up a page for this on their website.

Also, I have heard of these rare productions:

Land of the Tinkerdee
The Wizard of Id(pilot)
....and I know that "The Wizard of Id" was made in the same year "The Cube" and "Sesame Street" came out. But what month was it filmed?

Tips/Questions.
1 It's spelled "B-R-E-H-M-E-N", not Bremen.
2 What's the difference between The Muppets Go Hollywood and The Muppets Go To The Movies?
3 The Bells of Fraggle Rock is indeed a normal episode of the TV show, but it can be considered as a special Christmas episode.
4 Are you sure of Muppet Babies in 84 and Little Muppet Monsters in 85? Don't remember seeing them on TV till 88.
5 Are you sure of Jim Henson's The Storyteller in 87? Cause it's the second half to the episodes of Jim Henson Hour, which didn't hit the airwaves till 89.
6 All the stuff you have as JHH Spceials aren't specials, but actual episodes of JHH. Even Sesame Street: 20 Years and Still Counting! was a JHH episode, but it can be thought of as standing alone from JHH cause this was an SS anniversary.
7 Uh, you still have MFC listed in 95 where you said it should be Muppet Treasure Island.
8 Other than that, you just need to add in all the other additions GelflingWaldo suggested.
Hope this helps and keep up the good work.
