    Ok, so who's ok ? Who needs rescuing ? Who's gonna go convince Cory he hasn't just had his second life threatening experience of the month ?

    Animal in UK Advert

    It's new - they filmed it in France i think. It's been available to stream on Renaults website for a few months. I forgot all about it, haven't seen it myself yet but i hear its very good. ... and to think there was all that fuss about Kermit advertising Mercedes !

    The Copyright Act & "Fair Use" Doctrine

    Hey, No offense was taken at all, the thread is interesting and yeah as for Henson a few people here have submitted stuff and got far (thats how I know) so if you ever do get to putting a tape together starting a thread for advice on what to do might get you some useful tips. The person you...

    The Copyright Act & "Fair Use" Doctrine

    In addition to however you see the legal side by using the forum here to trade you also have to abide by the forum rules. Both the people running the forum and the people using it obviously all support the work of the Henson company so selling for profit, and trading any kind of commercially...

    Question About Copying Tapes

    I guess it's just a case of making sure you return the original tape back to them and not the copied one ? There is certainly no technical way for them to find out if a VHS tape has been copied since the tape only plays.

    Anyone live near the Jim Henson Co in LA?

    There are plenty of people here with contacts at Henson, just probably none within human resources. The internships are apparently quite easy to get but it's more administration than creative stuff - although i've heard of a few people who got to do some research work of sorts. If you have...

    Palisades' Mike Horn on the Today Show

    LOL - Yeah he's always out playing the TV star nowadays and giving interviews. I heard he just leaves Ken and the guys back at the office with no heating. He'll probably expect them to work on Christmas Day. If he doesn't give them the day off how will 'Tiny Travis' be able to go watch the...

    Henson closes NY office

    As has been mentioned, Henson are planning to strip the place bare (or maybe 'Bear' is planning to strip at the place ... but then he's naked already so i must have got it right first time). So yeah, anything like artwork, murals or stained glass windows, carved desk etc will all be moved with...

    Let's start speculating about the 2005 line up

    If Ken can swing the Britney Spears and ALF licenses so will mine ! :zany:

    Henson closes NY office

    I doubt Sesame Workshop would EVER part with those rights for any amount unless they needed it real bad - it was quite a coup them getting those while Henson was in a tricky position and the family out of the decision loop. Maybe Sesame Workshop could buy the Townhouse and move there ?

    Palisades' Mike Horn on the Today Show

    Go Mike - Pimp Those Figures !!! Did he get to say the website address ?

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Out of interest why not buy from a retail store ? Do you not have many places near you to do that ? It drives me crazy that the Muppet figures are only available at one retail company in the UK and I have to travel a bit to get there. I was in the states with Target and all these comic stores...

    Henson closes NY office

    Apparently you don't. Henson do OWN their offices and puppet workshop in London - it's called the Creature Shop in Camden. They got it around 25 years ago and Jim probably did as much creative Muppet work there than New York because it was their base throughout the TMS years. He also owned...

    Henson closes NY office

    The thing is Mark, you are acting like this building is the most important thing in the existence of the company ever - it's not, and even the Henson's obviously don't feel that way. If they really were down to their last 20 million i'm sure the real estate would have gone long ago - it's the...

    Columbia Tri-Star has Fraggle Rock on DVD, rumor or not?

    From what I gather the Fraggle Rock R2 DVD has been indefinitely delayed. Muppet Show Vol 3 is still on course.

    One of those days...

    Glad you are ok Cormeister, sounds like entropy to the extreme ! Mmmm geeky girls indeed - I keep asking my girlfriend to put some glasses and dorky clothes on to see if it'll have the same effect but no chance, I guess that kinda stuff can't be faked. I tell her she has 'inner geek' though...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    The original Gonzo sculpt wasn't bad, but the paint was very dodgy. The factory messed up the process, it was supposed to look different. That completely ruined it for me unless I was standing at least 5 feet back from the figure wearing shades. The second version they did a LOT better, but...

    Can we save the Muppet Townhouse?

    Not saying we should campaign to save it but (and maybe JHC are looking into this) possibly they could get it protected as a historical landmark so that at least the new owners can't pull the place down or anything. I know the Chaplin lot has that kinda protection and they do it on loads of...
