How can the free service of YouTube (however irritating it can be at times) be compared to the murder of 6 million Jews? This statement is not clever, funny or appropriate on a Muppet forum in any context. It is incredibly offensive and idiotic. :attitude: I'm not a big fan of the YouTube...

I agree and get exactly what you're saying. Vulgar only works if it's funny and serves the story. Personally, I liked the low budget Feebles. Well, some of it. Parts were vulgar and funny and parts were just poop jokes and gross-out humor. I can't endorse those bits. Puppets, animation, live...

I also enjoyed Bluth's animation growing up. I particularly like that he tried to steer away from the typical Disney formula. It didn't always work. The stories were hit-or miss, but the animation was always gorgeous and I've left his films playing on mute while I've turned on a music mix. They...

I'm kind of glad that Miss Piggy has been pulling back a bit. I love the diva, but it's so easy for the Muppets to get too Piggy-heavy. However, she's not pulling back that much. Her ire over Fox News was very much in the spirit of Frank's Piggy. She looks fabulous here!

I agree with a lot of what you're saying. Don't get me wrong. I like the movie a lot, but not as much as my friends. It's good spirit and vibe smoothed over the rough patches. I think it got bogged down by trying to be all things to all people. This is the project that really needed to cross...

The torch will be passed one day, but I hope it's not for a while. I don't think people were piling on Artie as much as they felt betrayed by what they felt was a Stepford Kermit. The Muppets' relationship to their audience is a delicate thing. Artie's Kermit was a pretty good mixture of old and...

The Lorax was fun. Beautifully animated. Not quite the Seuss story, but they had to fill it somehow. In the middle of the picture I leaned over to my friend and said, "I guess this is when they start rhyming again!" It doesn't get as lost as Horton. Oh, and apparently, consumerism will result in...

It's human nature to deify people for silly reasons. We can't change that by complaining about it. Heck, I wish we could. However, we can change our own behavior and how we allow these things into our own lives. I think celebs are overpaid. Hollywood does too. That's why more franchises are...

Of course, you're right. Luck plays a huge factor. So does opportunity. There are some who take advantage of these things, some who squander them and many who never get them. None of this gives any of us a moral right to judge these people as harshly as has been done on this thread. Especially...

I understand that and agree that these people should not be treated like royalty. (by the way, the bulk of this post is not directed toward you) My favorite quote about celebrities came from a celeb. Cyndi Lauper was once asked about her thoughts about several stars and shot back with a...

I'd agree with that. This Lohan article is a likely ploy from her publicist to help get some buzz around her. I'd be offended by it, but instead I'm impressed that we're back to a time that being attached to the Muppets is seen to be buzz-worthy!

Agreed! Not to get off topic, but there are more meth labs in the heartland's more rural areas than anywhere else in the country. That doesn't paint the heartland as being any less wholesome. Of course California gets pegged for just about everything. It's probably jealousy for our nice...

That was quick! And no Whoopi. Wow. She's been in so much Muppets stuff that it's strange she wasn't there when Kermit and Piggy appeared on her show. Hahaha. They were in top form. How busy the Muppets are these days. Wonderful!!

That is just about the most unintelligent statement you've ever made.

Why the frog are so many people in this thread so malicious and brutal to these actors that they've never met? These people have done nothing to us. I understand the criticism for celebs who are famous just for being famous, but the ones mentioned in this thread have put in the hours to get...

Who's to say she can't?

Kurt Cobain loved Weird Al's version and video of the song. There's no doubt he would have been wild about this too! Courtney cashed-in and sold her rights a long time ago. That's probably what she's bitter about. And riding someone else's wave of popularity is something that's not entirely...

Grrr. I really don't like that show, but I do like that ABC/Disney likes the Muppets and they're giving them top-level exposure. That's what I'll take from this. ;)

Disney already rebooted a successful Muppet blueprint so I don't see them degrading them with "smut" no matter what the format. That hasn't happened in over 35 years of these characters so I find that to be a weird notion. In fact, the mouse seems to be quite protective on the Muppets and I like...

I hadn't realized Sesame Street had been banned in Mississippi for several months in 1970 due to the integrated cast members and children. It's particularly shocking seeing that Jim Henson was from Mississippi. And all of this wasn't really that long ago! How far we've come and I think Sesame...
