Some intriguing developments over the last couple of weeks... As you all know, Disney continues to do its #Muppets70 celebration on Facebook by posting a different picture of a Muppet every week. Within the last month, they've celebrated Gaffer as well as George the Janitor...and they were...

Many happy returns to MC's commander in chief. :) Hope it's a good one!

My jaw dropped to the floor when I heard this news. Never in a million years would I expect Disney to bring back TMS after all this time! Like many of you, I'm cautiously optimistic. The Mouse House hasn't had a great track record with Kermit and the gang, but Seth Rogen is really funny. If...

My feelings are rather mixed on this. Of course, I don't want Disney t3o ever remove this masterpiece. It's Jim Henson's final project! And there's no other way to go see it. And the Animation Courtyard is sitting empty behind MV3D, so Disney could have put the new stuff there. Also, it's not...

Sorry I'm a day late on this. Hope it was a good one! I hope some folks here can show some love to the founder of this site. :)

Oh, wow. This is the first I've heard of it. I met Mar (and her husband Michael) at Muppet Fest many years ago. Very sweet (both of them). My condolences to Michael and others who knew Mar.

Many happy returns to the founder of this site. Sorry I'm a few days late on posting this. Blessings to you and Cindy!

I think this was a choice for the best, but not for the reasons that most reporters are saying. I think Chapek had actually been too politically aggressive, attacking the values that many Disney audiences hold. The company paid the price; despite owning a literal 2/3 of the entertainment...

Hard to believe it's been 3 decades since MCC's release. Just in time for that, of course, D+ released a version in 4K and with "When Love is Gone" restored to the movie in widescreen! I can understand those who didn't see the song in the theater feeling like it stands out like it doesn't...

Apologies - I didn't see your post until just now. Hope your birthday was a great one!

It was actually something of a surprise when I learned this, as I hadn't realized he was still so actively involved. The 2010s theatrical movies and the 2015 "Muppets" TV series didn't seem to feature any contributions from him at all. I guess it just goes to show how much uncredited writing...

Sorry I'm a few days late on this, but happy to Phillip Chapman, the founder of the site! Hope it was a great one.

What a fantastic time that was! Seeing the Muppet performers in person; watching them perform their iconic characters on stage; hearing them ad-lib hilarious answers to fans' questions in character; and wrapping up the whole thing with a 2-hour live show on the final night -- the whole thing was...

Hope your birthday was a most sensational, Muppetational one, Phillip!

Wow, a lot of great replies! Thanks, everyone. (Sorry I didn't jump in earlier. I always forget that email notifications for this forum go to an old email address, so I don't see them.) Muppet Master: I agree that the show was far from perfect, but there were a lot of wonderful moments and...
