Of course the Muppets can be current. Jim Henson laid the foundations for eternal characters. All of those muppets contain the seeds to the past, present & future!

I couldn't agree more Heralde. I personally would rather sit at home and watch TCM than go see the popular muck that is put out these days. You have to understand that there is a bottom line at work - it's about ticket sales ultimately. And there's an awful lot of crap that gets made and is a...

A lot of folks on here are obviously hating on Disney. We should actually all be thanking them because they have kept the muppets safe and not run them into the ground. Also, that they have faith in the franchise enough to bring it new blood. Disney should be getting kudos as far as i'm...

That's awesome Sarah.... I'm so super excited after hearing that. I have good feelings about this one.

You're all right it is Pixar but isn't the merge another example of great decision making by Disney? If you read Variety you will see that Disney is going through some sort of renaissance lately. Lots of great decisions. I just hope the Muppets idea is a part of that positive wave.

Disney is pretty much at the top of their game. Previously I would pass on their features - not these days as they are all interesting and so well done. Wall-E looks wonderful. Also, Disney has over 30 features in production for 3-D... Wouldn't it be cool if we got Muppets in 3D? Just a...

Amens sista! I'm all with you on this one. Too many folks grabbing the old brass ring that has since rusted and fallen apart...

How Miss Piggy has influenced me... I'm just sitting here listening to Billie Holiday "Sophisticated Lady" thinking of Piggy. You know - not many of you on here get very personal on these blogs. I'll tell ya I added a little too much thyme and pepper to the lintel stew tonight! Which might...

Muppets Wiz of Oz was crap we all know that - but, do you realize how many years ago that was? I mean, Ashanti has fallen into obscurity and Disney has gone on to produce some of the most amazing works. Can I safely say that Ratatouille should have been in the best film category for the...

The traditional format of muppet movies in the past would not bode well with audiences of today. Not to scare you. Muppets Wizard of Oz looked great on paper. Any oz/muppet fans would have been hooked. But, as they found out it takes more than drawing the traditional crowds. In Hollywood...

I can assure you that Disney will not be looking to do something traditional with the muppets. They have been looking for something that breaks them out of that box this whole time. That is not necessarily a bad thing. To put them back in the mainstream we couldn't have another Muppet Caper...

I think it is going to be better than expected. Disney has been making some very intelligent choices lately. Don't count them out... they aren't as desperate and clueless about muppets as everyone is painting them to be.

Segel did "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" which hasn't been released yet. The buzz is that there is a puppet sequence and it sort of makes the film. Also, a lot of critics are liking the film. Disney has an incredible management team and i'm sure they are looking for a fresh spin as the Muppets...

I wouldn't mind the dress being classic, black and elegant with the pearls, dark purple satin gloves and a headpiece. I also wouldn't mind seeing tons of feathers, bright pink & purple, polka dots - in other words she would look great as a HOT TRANNY MESS too.

Thank you Leanne you totally get it! The Muppet Show was based on vaudeville and anyone familiar with that era of being knows that it revolved around having the biggest, baddest, toughest act. These performers were tough as nails and would do anything to out show the next guy, gal or pig...

You are absolutely right Frogboy - Henson would be using CGI but, I think the scare was that there was rumor the puppets were being scrapped and the whole thing would be re-shot or done in CGI. That was a nightmare thought in all of our little muppety minds. My biggest concern was the long...

Straight from the horses mouth... Muppet newsflash - you heard it here on Muppet Central first before any of the other news sources. We all sat down with not only Spike Jonze, who is sporting long hair and a beard and doing his best to channel Jim Henson's spirit, but also with the...
