hello, my name is mimi! i was a fan of the muppets and henson's films labyrinth & dark crystal as a kid and have recently been swallowed up into the world of all things puppetry. it began from really looking back on what films the henson company and the creature shop had worked on and being surprised at how many films on that long list of credits i absolutely adored already. i think the artform of puppetry is so beautiful and sadly lacking in a lot of the industry nowadays.
i had seen the muppets movies as a kid and my favorite of the gamg was always kermit, but as ive been watching the muppet show from season one (i had actually never seen an episode before until recently!) a certain ol' brown ears stole my heart.
i love rowlf so much and think all of his skits and shorts are hillarious and so well written/performed. hes chill yet still outgoing attitude and loyalty is so cute and i love his singing voice. hes also a very talented poet and speaker as well. my favorite skit on the show is the veterinarian's hospital, it makes me burst out laughing. i love every muppet though! and as i work my way through the show (im on episode 20 of the first season) i fall in love more and more with the world, characters, and humour.
i join here today as a way to connect with more muppet fans, rowlf lovers, puppet enthusiasts, and the jim henson obsessed. if anyone wants to say hello please dont hesitate! also any tips for finding merchandise? it seems like in recent years that under disney there is so little!
that's all! happy to be here
