The classic 80's tune has been updated to help relief efforts in Haiti and was reportedly recorded at Henson Studios in Los Angeles. I'm a little upset that it seems Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner and others have been left out the mix this time in favor of some younger stars of lesser vocal chops...

What Kind of Superman Film Should WB Make? It’s been reported that WB and DC are trying to produce another Superman movie before the character rights become far more complicated. The exciting news is that they’d probably start from scratch and have “Dark Knight” director Christopher Nolan...

Disney has placed Miramax on the market and the Weinstein’s, originators of the company, are among the companies eying the sale. This means something to Muppet fans because of Disney's new focus on being a heavily branded company with its own Disney, Marvel, Muppets and Pixar labels. Miramax is...

Since when are there 2x the amount of best pictures? Are they Golden Globing it with Comedy and Drama portions? I have few clear favorites except for Coraline or Fantastic Mr. Fox for animated and I hope that Distict 9 takes home something. BEST PICTURE: Avatar The Blind Side District 9...

Brief Thoughts on Apple Inc. It's no secret that I jumped ship from Apple years ago due to budget and compatibility issues. They've bridged much of the compatibility, but they are out of my price range. I'm an artist so most people think I'd own a Mac, but in the last decade I have found that...

We know this is the year that "Tron", "Toy Story", "Alice in Wonderland" and "Iron Man" are coming back to theaters with new offerings. There are also crisp new ideas like "Inception", "Paul" and "Kick-A**". This thread is a place to discuss all of the things we want to see, have seen and list...

The little MC anniversary menu created 7 years ago has held up okay, but Fraggle Rock is relevant now more than ever some 27 years after the first episode aired. Let's hope the movie comes out before its 30th year. :coy: Thanks to all those responsible for their part of fraggledom including...

Well, of course not, but I do hear the wealthy taste great with some mint jelly. :p I'm being silly, but some have thought I said something mean like that when it is not the case. All this takes is for one or two people to get bent out of shape about a perceived slight and then the actual...

:o I designed these exclusives for the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago and just discovered they are available in their online shop too. Wish I'd known earlier. :zany: The double-faced Giant Monskey - Nutcracker/Mouse King - was featured in my facebook holiday card. There's also the regular sized...

This link has popped up over at Muppets.com. Has anyone heard of it? Apparently Kermit and Whoopi Goldberg are running this ad for childrens' charities. I must have missed this. :sympathy:

We all know awards don't always reflect quality, but this year's crop of Animated films is rather wide and it will make the Animated Feature Oscar section very exciting next year. I've seen most of these films, but what's the order you're rooting for? I'm digging the stop-motion and traditional...

Half of the computers I've used require the user to type in the "www"s in order to activate the Flash menu. I'm not sure what causes this or how to fix it, but it hasn't always been the case. The swf source file should work fine so it's definitely the embed. Can this be resolved? There are many...

Yup. Apparently the Frank Oz original film wasn't American enough that they've got to dumb it down with Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence. However, the dwarf is the same as the one used in the Oz helmed picture. Of course this film will be a classic from Neil LaBute - the same director who...

I've been on the fence about Zemekis' motion capture since the corpse-like “Polar Express” and the much more enjoyable “Monster House”. Now he's releasing his version of motion-capture "A Christmas Carol" this weekend. Early buzz is that the characters are just as wooden as the Polar Express and...

Berenstain Bears to make big-screen debut LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The Berenstain Bears are heading to the big screen. Walden Media, the family-friendly studio behind the "Narnia" feature franchise, has picked up the movie rights to the classic children's book series. Shawn Levy...

I caught the picture last week and have had a little time to let it sink in. I had high hopes for the movie even though Warner Brothers held up release a year after its completion. The movie is based on a popular book, endorsed by author Maurice Sendak, creatures by the Jim Henson Creature...

This is how it works. Sure, we all like Kermit and Animal on grocery totes and tees, but there's a wealth of other character and products out there. This thread is to name up to five. One should be a high-end product, one of medium expense and the last should be something every fan can afford...

Does anyone know about this? It looks pretty good.

Microsoft Not Amused by Family Guy, Pulls Plug on Sponsorship Apparently, Microsoft decided to add to its troubles by yanking away its Family Guy ad campaign. Family Guy is largely hit-or-miss in the comedy department, but one thing for certain is that they offend *everyone* equally. It's...

Crinkle Mouse Died Today. :cry: Some of you know the freaky story of the mice that my partner and I kept. We couldn't handle or play with them, but we kept them clean, fed and happy. My favorite, the only boy, Speedy Mouse died a couple of weeks ago. It's actually been hard on me. He was so...
