    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    I guess if Henson/Disney don't get involved, as well as being nigh impossible to do without the proper Muppets, they'd also probably find it hard to get one of the major Henson connected puppet performance co-ordinators to touch the project as well - we all saw how that thing in France went even...

    New Muppet Series screened in UK

    Before we got this site i would have thought no chance of them doing something like that, but they went as far as putting those new year clips up so it might be possible. It doesn't seem like its gonna be just the usual character intro video type stuff. That site is probably the most...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    Yeah if Travis hadn't slept cos of Gonzos nose ALF would give him all kinds of nightmares. It's a beautiful design of puppet though. He was saucy, i heard the midget who wore the costume in the wide shots was even saucier with the ladies, and Michael Jackson apparently. Oooer.

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    Making an ALF should get wayyy more priority. Doubt they could do that properly without the foam tho, but it'd kick so many shades of behind it'd be unbeleivable.

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    I dunno what the deal is with Master Replicas, but i know sometimes the bigger companies in collectables get shipped direct from china, especially international distributors. So it usually depends on who uses the quickest route to get them fastest.

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    I get what vinyl is now, its that shiny plastic figure stuff. yea they are usually more basic figures/statues. I'm still looking forward to them but i doubt they will be as detailed as palisades. Are vinyl figures hollow or is that rotacast?

    The MuppetCast - Show #43 - Window to the Muppets

    I thought the intro was very cool. I'm not a big Disney fan but the guy seemed interesting enough.

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    Oh right, so its like they've bought the rights to the script from Slane, not neccasarily they've obtained any rights from Henson. The way the original newsflash story is written could be seen as a bit misleading - most people would assume that means they've got the rights to do it from Henson...

    OMG this is freaky deaky ... no sooner had i asked for the Mokey doll, i went back to the main forum page and saw this - http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=36541 Close enough! I have seen the light ........ :eek: :halo:

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    I agree, but what appeared to be a release stated they had aquired "rights", which i gathered to be his image rights, but the whole thing does read more like a journalists story that could have been about their intentions and misquoted - though it does give Empire as the source. Nothing yet has...

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    Nothing has really been heard aside the press release (if, that even was one) about exactly who is on board for this. I'd be surprised to see Disney getting involved, if the film didn't do well it could affect the Muppets image so why would they bother offering them up? I just don't see this...

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    Or why not make them aware of the thread here Greg. Then they can see peoples requests for what they'd like to see happen at the next shoot. Did i hear obscure Muppets and an Electric Mayhem music video anyone? :halo: Oh and they are sooooooo missing a Penguin jacuzzi party!

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    That's how i feel, i absolutely love that opening, its perfect. Thats gonna get a laugh out of an 8-10 year old kid as much as anyone older, and thats hard to get nowdays and what they're looking to do. The Muppets are masters of slapstick - nowdays that type of stuff dies out at pre-school...

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    I'm also dubious on this story. They'd probably need Henson Legacy for his image rights, but then they still couldn't use the Muppets, Sesame, or even any of the character names without all the permissions. A $30 million big budget theatrical on Henson pitching puppet shows they can't talk...

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    Hmmmmm not sure what to say - it would be nice to have a film of Jim's life but often these people who've bought rights do hype up talk of it to get studios on board, like $30 Million Budget, All Star Cast, Theatrical etc etc. I'd be surprised to see that actually happen, possibly - but if it...

    My Thoughts: Disney's Muppets

    I would be prepared to stretch that point to maybe nobody knows how, or maybe it hasn't even been possible over the last few years. The last time there was any major public love for the Muppets was when Henson started shopping the company around in the eary 2000's, so they didn't keep the...

    Ok, well the original link still works for me which is wierd, but another one to try is - www.cloaknetwork.com and type www.muppets.com into the box lower down on the page. If it takes you to the main Disney XD page you can find the Muppets channel by clicking "more" just under "choose a...

    All i can say is its working fine from there for UK and Canada, i just checked it. There is another site you can go through that might work, i'll try find it. I really think the site is absolutely fantastic, and it should be updated from time to time, as all this isn't so much about the...
