    Who owns the rights to the Muppet Replicas?

    I went to the eFX website checking out the Rizzo replica. There's this feature where you can see a 3D image of the replica. http://www.efxcollectibles.com/p-64-you-are-not-mickey-mouse-you-are-a-rat.aspx I'd love to own Muppet replicas, it's the closest thing to owning a real Muppet :)

    Increase in Commercial Television Puppetry

    Hmm, interesting point. I don't know many inperfections in Ed Edd N Eddy unless you mean their trademark wiggly outlines. lol I Love Ed Edd N Eddy, I remember Danny was going back to his Indie short film roots but I haven't heard anything since plus I heard that A.K.A. Cartoon Inc closed down. I...

    Increase in Commercial Television Puppetry

    It looks like a rip off of Baby Kermit of Muppet Babies. I was going to mention Clyde Frog from South Park then I discovered this 1970s "The Clyde Frog Show". And I thought The Letter People (tv show that was kind of a Sesame Street rip-off) and Le Bebete Show from France was the earliest...

    Honkers based on Harpo Marx

    I noticed in the early days when Jerry Nelson first performed Harry, when he sang "I can't help it" and when he got to the lines "Everyday I wake up and don't have any fun." I started to think how within the rythum of Harry's voice kind of sounded like Jimmy Durante. I wonder if Jerry looked at...

    Honkers based on Harpo Marx

    I was just curious if The Honkers were modeled after Harpo Marx of The Marx Brothers. Similarities are basically they never speak and they use honk noises to communicate.

    Stuff I noticed in Follow That Bird

    I'm watching my DVD and I noticed a few interesting things. One of them being that any character that's a background character or a stock character, they are voiced by a voice actor and not a Muppeteer. Unless they are voices of Fraggle Rock Muppeteers that I don't know of (since they filmed the...

    Muppet Magazine information

    Very nice. In terms of Muppet photos, I always love stuff from these years. :) That looks like it was a promo picture for The Great Muppet Caper a little bit. I'm guessing it's from 1982 or 1983 possibly. Wild guess. Though Muppet Magazine didn't last long right? Only a few years? This kind of...

    Who owns the rights to what?

    Interesting, so to avoid a inappropriate sounding fan site, one needs to be created to stop it. lol Well you got to do what you gotta to in order to prevent such. Though on a serious note, in a way, it's kind of a cleaver path of going about it actually.

    Who owns the rights to the Muppet Replicas?

    I still would like to own the Muppet replicas but they are rarer then ever and there's characters that were made into prototypes but never got produced like the Rizzo, Fozzie, Miss Piggy, Reporter Kermit replicas. The only time I was ever close to these replicas is when I seen them at a local...

    Muppet Magazine information

    I've heard of Muppet Magazine here and there, yet I still need to get my hands on a issue to know more about it. Are they rare to find? I know there was a combination book called Muppets, Muppets, Muppets. So what kind of stuff is in it, what's the format. Is it like information on new Muppet...

    Who owns the rights to what?

    I didn't see much of the lawsuit info except for the websites which I'm guessing couple be someone putting up illegal downloads of seasons or something like that or graphic fan fiction to but it cleanly. But it all seems perfectly understandable for the most part. Though JHC I've always felt...

    Henson Biography available for pre-order

    I totally agree with you on that. Lots of books don't really give too much detail of Jim's lifestyle. Jim had a very wealthy lifestyle and he'd like traveling a lot. Esspecially with his family and fellow employees. He'd throw parties for his company from time to time as well weither at the...

    Henson Biography available for pre-order

    WOW, this makes me want to get this book more :) Can't get any better then that :) It's amazing how many new books have came out within the recent years. I just hope that someday the other film documentaries will see the light of DVD. I personally thought that the CNN People Profiles was the...

    Who owns the rights to what?

    Very interesting. Though I'm curious, it's legal to post these documents right? Because they are sort of expired. Where did you get them? I'm guessing the copyright one is probably from the copyright.gov public database. Very interesting information, thanks for sharing.

    Video: Favorite Kevin Clash Muppet Moments

    This was just on my mind. Kevin performs this character who's reading Treasure Island and just upstages Fran Brill's character at the end. lol Plus I think he's related to Roosevelt Franklin. Perhaps his not so hip cousin. lol

    Henson Biography available for pre-order

    Great news! Can't wait to get it and add it to my Jim Henson biography section in my personal library shelf. It's strange that there hasn't been many Jim Henson biographies out in great detail. Most were released for young school readers. The only ones that were released as detailed biographies...

    Your Thoughts: "Being Elmo" Kevin Clash documentary on DVD and PBS

    just out of curiosity did you use the Sesame Workshop address? I used that address for fanmail once at got Frank Oz's autograph. :) It's really cool. One of my favorite scenes in Being Elmo is where Kevin meets this French puppeteer who has rare pictures of Jim Henson and some of the...
