    New Muppet Pilot in Development by Randall Einhorn (The Office, Modern Family) for ABC

    I'd be wary at this point, just because it's close enough to April Fools' Day for fake information to be mistaken-for-fact and passed on...

    New behind-the-scenes book to celebrate Fraggle Rock

    Yeah, prettymuch. At least the movie has made one step towards (maybe slightly possibly finally) getting released, so maybe this has too... *keeps hoping*

    New behind-the-scenes book to celebrate Fraggle Rock

    I actually emailed the company a few months ago, asking if they were still making it. They replied that it "has unfortunately been postponed to an undisclosed date". Well, it's better than actually cancelled, I guess....

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt Signed On to Star in Fraggle Rock Movie

    I just thought - there is one other old series that has made a comeback: My Little Pony. And although I haven't got around to watching more of it, the first two episodes gave me the impression that it's quite similar (at a basic level) to FR - cute, colourful creatures, exploring a magical...

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt Signed On to Star in Fraggle Rock Movie

    With "starting from scratch" to appeal to a new audience, especially kids, I feel like the Fraggles have more potential than the Muppets. They're designed to be cute and likeable, whereas the Muppets are a bit ragged and strange. (I vaguely remember, being really young and used to Muppet Babies...

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt Signed On to Star in Fraggle Rock Movie

    I think, basically, they don't sell it as "a Fraggle Rock movie", they sell it like a stand-alone film (even if it does keep series continuity) and get people excited about it because it looks good.

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt Signed On to Star in Fraggle Rock Movie

    I don't think Doc will be in it. It would be odd to recast him. Possibly a new human character could have Sprocket with him, but I would rather that didn't happen either. (I know, realistically speaking, a man and his dog can't be together forever - but if you don't show them apart, then we can...

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt Signed On to Star in Fraggle Rock Movie

    I like the idea of the human getting into the Rock. Maybe it could even be the first point in the film that we get to see the Fraggles. (It could play out rather like the bit in Muppet Family Christmas when Kermit and Robin find the Fraggle-hole.) Gorgs in the human world though... I don't like...

    New Muppets Interstitial Series on Disney Junior 2015

    (People, please stop complaining about other forums. I'm on the other forum. It's not as bad as you're making out - and anyway, if you don't like their discussion, that's why you are here and not there.)

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt Signed On to Star in Fraggle Rock Movie

    If it happened, I'd like them to do other characters as well and not just Matt. I'm not keen on him as a character, even if he is the most obvious option for starring in short videos.

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt Signed On to Star in Fraggle Rock Movie

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt's IMDb profile: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0330687/ He has quite a few credits, though I haven't seen most of them. (He voiced Jim Hawkins in Treasure Planet though. I love that movie.) --- I'm tentatively excited about the announcement. Though I also hope they're not...

    New Muppets Interstitial Series on Disney Junior 2015

    I wonder if the Newsman just turns up as a cameo / gag punchline at some point. He does seem like an odd choice for "chatting cutely with kids". Then again, his original role (prior to being attacked by news-article-relevant objects) was having weird interviews with the guest stars... I don't...

    Background Creatures

    I've wanted to make a list/screenshots myself, though I'm sure I'd get halfway through and then abandon it for another project....

    Question for you Fraggle builders?

    Well, even if I didn't get it right, I'm glad I've reignited the question at least!

    Would It Be Possible: Henson/Whitmire/Kermit Biopic?

    The first hurdle to get through would be Disney's unwillingness to show the Muppets as puppets. But if that was out of the way... I think if it's done well, there could be potential in involving the Muppets - or at least Kermit - as 'real' characters in it. Kermit has an awareness/acceptance of...

    Question for you Fraggle builders?

    Interesting looking mechanism. Can it make the eyes go round and round repeatedly? Because I'm pretty sure Wembley has done that. I still think it's more likely that his eyes simply rotate on a point, but I don't know much about puppet building so maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about...

    Thick rolled / corded hems for Fraggle clothes?

    From the front: and from the back: This part is the front where the buttons attach (so the sharpest angle the cord has to go around). It's actually for my cosplay, not puppet building, but I figured it's the same technique either way! What do you mean by clothesline? The stuff I am...

    Question for you Fraggle builders?

    I hope it's not 'bad manners' to bump up old posts here (it varies from forum to forum) but I came across this while searching, and I think I have the answer to your question. I'm fairly sure that Wembley's eyes simply rotate on an angle, so his pupils "orbit" the spin axis and move in circles...

    Thick rolled / corded hems for Fraggle clothes?

    Hi all, I'm wondering how to go about adding piping cord to hems, to make the thick rolled edge on the Fraggles' clothing? (Specifically I'm experimenting with making Wembley's shirt, where the hem is visible from both sides as the collar folds over, so it needs to be neat on the inside too.)...

    Muppets Most Wanted: What went wrong?

    One interesting thing I realised with Kermit and Constantine's resemblance (or non-resemblance) is that it works a bit like Kermit and Fozzie's "twin brothers" in Caper. Characters see the brothers as identical, unless one is wearing a hat. And they see the frogs as identical, unless...
