Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
It's a sculpture of Fozzie scaled to the old mini muppets from palisades toys. It's not quite finished as there is still work to be done on the head and there is an arm not attached. The plan is for Fozzie to be wiping his head with his tie as if he has just bombed on stage. I used green wax to...
I've been working on this in and off for awhile and never posted about it. Thought I would share as I get closer to completing it. It's the size of the palisades mini muppets and meant to fit in to that line. Hope you guys enjoy. I'm hoping to complete him soon depending on my job.
Also as much as I admire Kevin's talent, I don't see how people on here are able to look past what he's done. Having a relationship with 15 and 16 year old teenagers? This isn't a matter of his personal life it's a matter of breaking the law and taking advantage of kids. The idea that someone...
I think we will see Elmo removed from the show. The general public wont understand that the role is recast, if they can even recast it. Kevin is a master of puppetry. Elmo is more than a voice and a puppet. Kevin made him the little red menace we all hate to love or love to hate. Us we are...
I don't get all the talk about the title. It most likely is just a place holder. Heck, the title was announced before a page was even written. What else should they have called it? Once the movie is written then a title can be created. It will either be a title like the first 6 movies or it...
If this is Artie doing Ernie's voice then he's pretty good. At least the voice is good. My main issue with Artie's Kermit was the puppetry and Kermit's singing voice. Steve has made Kermit into a rather good singer. Jim could carry a tune but not to the extent Steve can. Artie was not that...
Interesting note. I was watching some muppets tonight episodes and watched the Whoopie Goldberg episode where the penguins sang in quacks followed by the Martin Short episode where the penguins sang in English. Those episodes aired right after one another! What the hey?
Also they sang stepping out with my baby in the Martin Short episode. So at some point they could still speak after Jim passed away but it seems more often than not after 1990 penguins couldn't speak and it has now become a rule if sorts.
In MTM they sand the line "they're finally getting married now" right before piggy enters the wedding scene. They sing it clear and not in the penguin speak we now know. Also I believe Dave played a penguin looking for a job at Pete's right after the rats got hired. Again, clear as day he said...
It was said during the commentary of The Muppets that they wanted to give the penguins a line in lifes a happy song but were told penguins can't talk in the muppet universe. This has been accepted for some time now. However when watching older productions like the muppet show and the muppets go...
I think if you jump from 1990 to 2011 you would t recognize the muppets at all. Almost the entire cast of characters has been recast. Certain characters haven't interacted in years. Certain characters have changed since the recasts, and even before. So yes, when you compare TMS and the original...
I just.....I can't.....NO!
The muppets are puppets. They interact in the real world. They are extensions of their performers. Kermit's actions and mannerisms are all from Steve's performance. That would all be replaced by an animators interpretation of Kermit. Plus you totally loose the ability...
The movie isn't canon but Walters personality and basic back story are. He's still a muppet fan that gets to work with the muppets. That's his character. It's like the muppet movie. Scooter wasn't really the bands road manager, but his character is still the same. The difference is that Walter...
Scooter training a new "go for" is a neat idea too. Like giving the intern an intern type of deal. That's a great new dynamic they could set up. I can already see an episode if the muppet show where Walter gets his own intern, kind if like topo sticky getting his own little topo sticky.
I think Walter can easily work with the muppets as a new character. He's the ultimate fan. In the muppets he was the ultimate muppet fan, but whose to say he has to be just a muppet fan? He can be the ultimate guest star fan or instead of being a fan he can be the new "go for", maybe introduce...
EIG was a giant failure though because it was just a cartoony escapist movie. It made less than half it's budget back in US theater sales. Heck it made less than FTB which was released 14 years prior. A new sesame street movie can't just mindlessly target 3 year olds again. If they do the...
I think a new movie needs to take on a real issue faced by today's youth. Follow that bird dealt with the very real issue of a child going through the system of child services, ripped away from his home, and being placed in foster homes. Elmo in grouch land dealt with loosing a blanket...in a...
I'm torn. On one hand an r rating would certainly keep people from mistaking this movie for the muppets an would prevent kids from tricking their parents into letting them see it. On the other hand it certainly limits the audience. But if all they want are adults then it doesn't really matter.
Kermit was shot separately so that his part could be shot without keeping tons of puppeteers waiting. Imagine if Steve got the giggles that day and couldn't get through it for hours. You'd have a very large group of very grumpy puppeteers. Plus it also gives them a clear shot of all the muppets...
In the muppets there is no line between the biological and the puppets. Kermit isn't a puppet frog, he's a real frog that happens to talk. Walter is a real person, he just happens to be really short. So it's perfectly normal for a real human to have a muppet relative. As for muppets dating...
