    "Major and important" Muppet announcement coming soon

    Just watched Vincent Price and Christopher Reeve. Let's just say Disney+, a streamer I already think was rich with excellent shows and films, was only improved by the addition of this show. I won't review the actual episodes since I don't have much time but they're classic Muppet madness and...

    "Major and important" Muppet announcement coming soon

    There's a trailer on the Disney+ page (basically just the season 5 theme song; my guess from Roger Moore's episode) that has the show in 4:3, so I'm 99% sure the episodes will be uncropped. If they do crop them despite the trailer being otherwise... well, that's what I get for trying to guess...

    "Major and important" Muppet announcement coming soon

    I'm excited for tomorrow. It has been WAY too long since I've seen the show and, going by the trailer on Disney+, it's gonna look great. Fingers crossed it'll be uncut but I heard somewhere Disney cleared the rights so I'm hopeful :) You're right about it mostly being harmless fun but...

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock returns to HBO, remastered in HD

    That looked a LOT better than I expected from an upscale. Not bad at all.

    3D Printing Rubber Puppet Parts

    If anyone happens upon this thread, I found two videos regarding 3D molds and casting from Tested: It's about masks, but aren't cast rubber puppets just masks that fit your hand? (That was rhetorical: I think yes, but you can disagree :))

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Yeah. They do good, but Jim Henson had a better replacement than Mel Blanc. Both good points. I don't care either way if Miss Piggy and Kermit get back together, but at least let them be civil to each other.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Same here. It kind of made the mall meaner. I ended up only watching a few episodes.

    Never even thought of them. Will be interesting to see.

    3D Printing Rubber Puppet Parts

    Thank you Tioh. I had a feeling printing the mold or cast the 3D printed positive would work best. You warning about warping helped. Also, thanks for the warning about expanding foam.

    3D Printing Rubber Puppet Parts

    Hello everyone. A long while ago, I stumbled upon using 3D printing for puppets and thought it was cool. Just a few days ago, I was messing around and saw that you could print a material that was like latex. I immediately thought "Why not a puppet head?" Then I remembered that most oddly shaped...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    I saw one clip that was Matt as Kermit and I thought he did pretty good. The voice was a little different, but I can also pick out whether it's Jim or Steve moving the old green coat. I think the hardest thing is that it's change, pure and simple. Steve was Kermit for almost 30 years so it's...

    3D Printing + Puppet Building = ?!?!?!?

    Very cool puppets. I'll definitely will show you my results. Thanks. :)

    3D Printing + Puppet Building = ?!?!?!?

    Sorry for bumping the thread, but I just discovered 3D printed hand puppets and just thought this was so cool. It's definitely something I want to try and I'm glad I learned more about it here. Great work Tioh. Does the site allow donations? I want to try my hand with the bird head. Again...
