    Jim Henson Retrospectacle in NZ

    Are there any videos of this or any reports? None of the Muppet sites seem to be mentioning it. This was a massive Jim Henson festival over several days with screenings, workshops, talks with puppeteers and concerts with a mixed Muppets/Sesame/Fraggle cast. Where's the coverage? Where are the...

    Muppet merchandise in Japan

    Hey, I realise this is quite an old post, but I'm off to Japan (mainly Tokyo, but travelling around a bit) in March and I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips for Muppet merchandise or Muppet-themed sights etc in Japan. Thanks!

    Frank Oz' Muppet documentary "Muppet Guys Talking" premiering at SXSW on March 12, 2017

    It's probably Frank Oz' passion project that he's been developing over time.

    Video: Pigs in Space “Alien: Look Who's Coming to Dinner”

    Aww, how great to see this back 20 years later. Started a bit frantic, but loved the whole Pepe/Alien homage, very funny, a great early Xmas present for Muppet fans. I heard they have filmed 4. Anyone know when we'll get the next one?

    The Muppets on Netflix? Hulu? Amazon?

    So right after ABC cancelled The Muppets, the rumour circulated that Netflix or a similar streaming service might pick it up and then we heard nothing more. Now the show is nominated for an Emmy. So my question is - does anyone know anything? Are talks actually happening? Is there still a...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    So avoiding the conversation once again being hijacked into whether people like/can afford Netflix, does anyone know if it might still be a possibility that The Muppets might be picked up by a streaming service like Netflix, Hulu, etc? I know the show had a mixed reaction with fans, but...

    MMW - premiere & promo items

    Hey guys, I'm selling a collection of Muppets Most Wanted stuff on Ebay. I've included some hard-to-find collectible promotional items in the package, so I thought this might be of interest to some of you. Check it out...

    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    I have it on reasonably good insider authority that there will NOT be another Muppet film anytime soon, as Disney considers MMW to have been a significant disappointment at the box office. Broadway and TV projects could apparently still happen though.

    UK "Muppets Most Wanted" BluRay Disappointment!

    So the MMW BluRay came out in the UK today and of course I got it at the first possible moment, excited to watch the extended cut and see all the deleted scenes! Just one problem: The UK release doesn't contain them. The extras here are different from the US extras (everything except the...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    I'm still smiling. Laughed, cried, enjoyed. It's a great ride. There are definitely some lulls in the middle, but I think it really builds to a great climax and the last third is just pure joy. Some great moments. Loved the action-y stuff, the A Chorus Line parody, Celine, the helicopter...

    Your Thoughts: Lady Gaga and The Muppets Holiday Spectacular on ABC

    Oscarfan - slightly off topic, but you couldn't do the same for the full Gaga/Elton duet, could you?

    Your Thoughts: Lady Gaga and The Muppets Holiday Spectacular on ABC

    Why is this forum becoming more and more negative as the days go by? This is clearly a Lady Gaga special that got commissioned because her holiday special last year got great ratings and because she is massively famous and popular. Anyone thinking this was going to be a Muppet special with...
