    Muppets/Sesame Invade Carnegie: East Coast Meetup?

    I know Phil made a thread under Henson people, but this really should be headline news. I've always considered NYC to be the spiritual home of the Muppets so this is beyond exciting to me. Quite a number of Muppet and Sesame performers with their signature characters(as well as lot of the...

    Little Comic Strip I Started...

    I hadn't realized how insanely difficult animation was, so lately I've just been doing quick little comic strips every other day. It stars "Gadzoob", a purple guzgub(dino like creature) who tumbled into our world from the late 1980's. Kind of my excuse to be lazy with art and put in little...

    The Muppets 2011 vs Very Muppet Christmas Movie

    Other than MFC(a tradition of seeing it over Christmas for my family and I that goes back to the 1988 airing on ABC :) ) , Letters to Santa, the other holiday Muppet dvd I bust out is It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, affectionately titled "VMX" by hardcore fans. I initially praised...

    Anyone Else A Huge Fan Of Letters To Santa(Extended)?

    I don't know if it's the look of the thing, the chemistry between Pepe and Rizzo(both MIA in the new film), or just the overall feel...but upon seeing LTS(extended) last night yet again I have to say it is now my second favorite Muppet Christmas related production directly under Muppet Family...

    13 Years on MC... Gotta say I love you all!

    Twas' 13 years ago I first discovered and joined Muppet Central and the forums(old Delphi in 1998, later 2002 restart) and I gotta say I love y'all. This is one of the only forums I'm still on, so that says something. As Muppet fans, the holiday period is often the most special as some of the...

    Wanna Meet Girls? Wear Your Muppet shirt/beanie/etc

    I live in lame boring anytown USA suburbia, but in the past couple weeks I've talked/met so many cute college aged girls just out in about running errands/school/etc wearing various Muppet shirts(or hats/other garments) Sure, nothing has come of it thus far but I realize for a lot of guys on...

    Will Muppet Fandom Continue To Be Underground?

    For almost 60 years Jim Hensons vision and message of laughter, celebration, kindness, sillyness, friendship, etc.has bounced around the globe via muppets, sesame, fraggle, bear, etc...but... As much as it's been surreal to see the new film not only get marketed beyond belief and the INSANE...

    Will There Be Any DisneyPark Specials/Tie-ins Next Year?

    Im really wanting to get to go to Disneyland(or heck if I had the money to fly, WDW) next summer. Im kicking myself for not being able to go last minute to D23 2009, which seemed like a mini muppetfest(anyone here got to go?) Every year Disney usually has a special...except this year. 2009 it...

    The movie could have been even better (article)

    I know it's gotten almost 100% unanimous praise from critics and fans alike, but after seeing it a couple times I just cannot shake loose that something is not just a little but drastically off. After reading this article on what was deleted, I am so wishing we lived in a world where THIS was...

    "The Muppets": What made you laugh

    For most people on here, we had our tearing up/crying moments throughout the film. But which parts of the film had you in stitches? Not just a few "hehs" and chuckles? For me it was the whole butchering of Rainbow Connection in Reno by the Moopets. That is such an evocative, powerful and deeply...

    Have you thought of advertising on Facebook or Youtube?

    Now that the film is out, and even before...I noticed that the majority of Muppet fans seem to be on facebook, youtube, etc. It's actually pretty simple and doesnt cost that much to advertise on both. Basically you set the dollar amount you want to spend a day(its like a penny a click for...

    Who Could You Envision Directing A Muppet Film?

    Well, today we saw proof positive that Kermit and the gang are truly actors...characters that thanks to the mastered craft of Muppeteers, transcend being mere "puppets". In fact it was hard to remember at times this was suppose to be a "family film" since there were so many deep felt adult drama...

    Anyone Find The Lack Of Muppet Merch Disturbing?

    So this is the moment we've been waiting for 13 years on here, the big Muppet comeback. I distinctly remember so many great chats and threads in the golden early days of Muppet Central in the late 90's dreaming of the big Muppet renaissance. While many of us balked at the notion of Disney owning...

    New Toy Story Short Celebrates Kid's Meal Toys!

    As a lifelong fan of kid's meal toys, I could not be more thrilled at the new short opening with the Muppets film next week. I've always considered kid's meal toys some of the coolest stuff out there, and more often than not kid's meal toys are often way better than their expensive toy store...

    Mid 90's Toons! (Tick, Rockos, Eek the Cat, Critic, Catdog, Family Dog)

    As much as I always am quick to declare my love of 80's cartoons(kid video, muppet babies, alf, cops, mighty orbots, transformers, etc) I have a particular love of a lot of the cartoons between 1992 and 1996 on tv. Nacho And Dog circa 1995-1997 I finally tracked down all the videos of the Taco...

    Sesame Workshop Trying To Have It Both Ways(Bert/Ernie issue)

    So, I've been realizing how duplicitous Sesame Workshop is. They continually release "OMG, Bert and Ernie are NOT representative of gays!" statements... Sesame Workshop has aggressively tried to shut down the bert/ernie gay thing, issuing endless statements since the 90's(some compiled here)...
