As much as I love Fraggle Rock (believe me, I am incredibly passionate about it), I don't know if the market will ever allow it to thrive. First, there's the studio/distributer market, and then there is the general public. The way I figure it, I think the execs involved have too many...

I saw a Gobo puppet the other day and I wound up grabbing it. I plan on collecting these - Overall I think they look pretty cool. It'll make a great excuse to build a display where I can keep them. Matt and Junior are probably too new to be available in retail stores, and I haven't seen them up...

Mokey's voice changes. I'm not sure how to describe it, but she initially has a soft voice, and from season two onwards she begins to sound raspy.

Some time ago the webpage suggested that kids about 13 could probably enjoy it (and that you'd be regarded as totally awesome to them if you did!). I think the only thing that a parent might take issue with is the degree to which sexuality is explored, but depending on the relative maturity of...

This was a pleasure to watch, and I'm glad to see more puppetry in general is starting to catch into the popular culture. I don't understand the criticism over the quality of the puppeteering though. Comparing the dedicated talents who play the likes of Kermit and Ms. Piggy for ten to twenty...

Can you post pictures of the incomplete heads? It might provide some hints about how the mouth fits in if we can see what you've got.

First in to say that's really cool!

Calling puppetry a genre would be like calling a musical instrument a genre. Puppetry is a medium for telling a story, just as a saxophone is an instrument for playing Jazz Music. As for classifying it as Stop Motion - I'd be more inclined to consider 3D animation and Cel Animation with Stop...

The DVD Bonuses seem to continue where this video leaves off. It's great to see the entire feature unfold in its entirety. (As a Toronto resident, I get to laugh at all the local references, which seems suited to the show either way!)

Happy belated birthday, Karen Prell! She's one of my favorite Muppeteers, particularly for her ongoing advocacy for Fraggle Rock, while being one of the most impressive people I've ever known about as far as embracing new challenges. I enjoy watching the small touches that make Red Fraggle...

I wasn't sure where to begin looking for this, but I've been wanting to see this really badly for a while now. Thanks for the repost!

The termites debating the benefits of sundried tomatoes was genius. :)

It's great to see Fraggle Rock making a return - it's easily one of my favourite television shows and it captures my imagination today as much as it did when I was young. One of the character traits central to Fraggles besides their playful personalities and whimsical naivety was their...

I agree. I think it was a combination of technical constraints and a deciplined writing style designed to move the story forward.
