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.
Agreed on the mock up pic, but it doesn't really matter anyway as its not reflective of the final product. Going on Terrys update the last proto came back looking pretty bad so who knows what they'll have to change if the factory are having trouble making it - it's early days yet though. The...
I read a while back they had looked into doing a Gremlins 3, and would have done it as a CGI movie but upto a while back the people behind it were kinda ruling it out. There is a new advert out on TV in the UK though featuring Gremlins and the Gremlins theme, i think its for British Telecom and...
Each to their own i guess but I think its quite a good feature, its informative and gives people easy access to listen to Muppety radio while browsing the forum. Now pop up's - they would be an eye sore.
There is whole new range of Disney Muppet stuff being made in Russia (i think that was the language on the tag anyway). Plushies, Mugs, Plush keychains and best of all rotocast plasticky models. I saw them in London and took pics on my camera phone. I will try and get the photos up.
Just to say thanks to Daz for the coupon code - i've ordered a Gonzo.
Has Collector Zone closed down? I know they were part of Master Replicas so wondered if its anything to do with the Corgi sale but their website has gone - i need a Kermit!
Well all we know officially is that they have merged with Popco and become Popco Entertainment, although they haven't changed anything on the website yet. But the plan is to continue producing Master Replicas licenses so yes, until we hear anything specifically on the Muppets it does look good...
Generally an executive producer will get the credit because of either having some involvement in coming up with the initial project or bringing the lead actor to the studio (for instance, Brillstein for Ghostbusters) but then usually take a back seat while still overseeing the film. I didn't...
From what i gathered Zappa wrote the original treatment and thats it, so i guess if they are using part of it thats why he has been given the executive producer credit. I actually liked Hoodwinked and most of the Weinsteins other stuff so i think they are probably in about the best hands they...
I think it'd be a nice idea, and it'd also be nice to see there be some kind of banner for it on the Muppet Central home page so that more people became aware of it.
I agree that if Henson had been bought entirely by Disney and then allowed to remain as a branch of them (like Pixar) it would have been a much better option. I don't think that there would be anything better for Sesame/Fraggle, if Disney had bought them but they might have done something with...
It's been discussed quite a lot long ago, realistically it would never happen as far as Sesame's concerned - what with them being realtively non-commercial and having got quite a good deal when they got total control of the characters. They would never need to sell. I think it's a good thing...
I didn't realise they OWED us this movie? lol
It's all a business, they aren't going to want to put out an awful movie and lose money just because the fans are clock watching - this kinda things happens all the time. Nice to see enthusiasm tho!
LOL, me too. Not sure how this will affect the Muppet license, or if there is any restructuring at what is/was Master Replicas, if it all - i'd take nothing for certain until we hear something specific.
Steve, have you done a show on Muppet Babies yet? I can't remember one. That's the show a lot of the Muppet fans nowdays discovered the Muppets from - kinda jogged my mind hearing one of the letters read saying that during this weeks show.
