    Attention YouTube puppeteers!

    I'm doing a review of A Special Sesame Street Christmas this holiday season and am seeking YouTube puppeteer personalities or anyone who wants in to make cameos during one scene in the review. You see, there's a montage during one of the song sequences where random people say what Christmas is...

    Is anybody else just sick of Ice Age?

    This first film was terrific. Far from my favorite animated movie but when you look back at everything else that came out at the time, and what we've later received, it stands out as a great movie. The sequel pretty much could have just been called "Ice Age 2: The Search For More Money"...

    The Muppets aren't for your consideration apparently...

    http://www.disneystudiosawards.com/ So today I just found Disney's "For Your Consideration" page for the 2012 Oscars. All the movies you'd expect Disney to try to get nominations for are there. Cars 2 (seriously?), Gnomeo and Juliet (I completely forgot that movie!), the short that will be...

    Earl Kress - In Memoriam of an MC Family Member

    I'm not sure if anyone's posted this or not, but we've lost a great animation historian and a member of the MC family today: Earl Kress aka Was Once Ernie. You can write an obituary of sorts, which mentions him working on The Muppet Movie here...

    "The Muppets" has an official rating

    This just in, the MPAA has given The Muppets a rating. I know some of us expected this movie to receive a G rating like the other Muppet movies, but this Muppet movie shall be the first theatrical Muppet movie to receive a PG rating "for some mild rude humor". Not really big news but I figured...

    Do you miss high school?

    I've been thinking about this a little bit in the past few minutes what with my old high school starting classes tomorrow for the new school year. It's really a question to bring up: Do you miss high school? It's been a little over a year since I graduated high school, a year ago my response...

    Looney Tunes Platinum Collection - November 15

    As sparks fly on the Termite Terrace Trading Post about the double dips, I'm personally happy to report Warner Home Video is releasing Looney Tunes on Blu-ray for the first time on November 15. News story here...

    Left-handed Muppeteers

    As a left-handed puppeteer, I have noticed that the majority of the time, the Muppet performers are right-handed. Who are the exceptions to this? I know Louise Gold has stated in interviews being a leftie and it seems like Avi Yakir (an Israeli Sesame puppeteer) is left-handed by the looks of...

    Dinosaur Train Hallmark ornament this year

    If anybody cares (I personally don't, I don't watch the show) but Hallmark is doing a Dinosaur Train ornament this year. It'd be nice to throw the Hensons a bone and buy this ornament but I'd really prefer, since Hallmark is in cahoots with the JHC it seems, if they made Fraggle Rock ornaments...

    MC get-together event?

    I've been thinking over the last few days that it's been quite a long time since we've gotten to see each other in person. Granted, we really only get to see each other at assorted Henson Legacy events but there hasn't been anything big along those lines since the William Patterson U. event two...

    April Fools: Old School Vol. 3 DVD, CD and more coming!

    So I recently had an internship interview at Warner Home Video and the guy doing the interview was pretty much the guy in charge of handling the Sesame Street titles at Warner Home Video. After we discussed what massive Muppet/Sesame fans we are, I asked him if there was anything he could...

    Best Sesame Street Albums

    I'm surprised we've never had a thread like this before, but here's something to think about: what do you consider the very best Sesame Street albums? It can be based on anything. Nostalgia, great music, great characters on the album, but what are your Abbey Road or St. Pepper's of Sesame...

    Movies that mean something to you...

    I'm not talking about favorites movies, that's a bit old hat. No, what I'm talking about is a movie (movies) that you have seen some time in your life and that have stayed with you up unto this very day. I saw this on another forum and thought it'd be a nifty conversation starter. I have a few...

    Sesame Street burn-on-demand CD's now on Amazon

    I don't know how long these have been up, but I was searching around Amazon today and found out that a handful of Sesame Street LP's are now available in CD form. Note that these are burn-on-demand CD-R's but they are probably worth it if they are ripped from the MP3's availible on Amazon. So...

    Does anyone want to help me design a logo?

    So, I just decided to launch a website for my little production "company" Brainstorm Studios. You can check it out here: http://brainstormstudios.webs.com/ As you can see: one thing the website lacks so far is pictures. I'm going to add pictures as part of step 2 of tweaking the site as I get...

    "Merry Christmas from Sesame Street" and "A Sesame Street Christmas"

    Yes, I'm still in a Christmas mindset for some reason, I need something to keep me happy in this freezing weather. :) I was looking into buying all the Sesame Street Christmas albums (which I don't own in CD form for some reason) for next Christmas last month. One thing that threw me through a...
