    Uncle Deadly as Palpatine, Bean Bunny as Wicket figures announced

    Pepe as Salacious Crumb is brilliant, but how would ya have sweetums as a giant worm? hmmm... Electric Mayhem as Max Rebo band, genius. Bobo, Walter, Crazy Harry, Lew Zealand, and Beauregard have to be in there. Heck, I can even see Nigel as a character.

    Video: Ben Folds Five and the Fraggles sing "Do It Anyway"

    This should be up to 20 pages. Dear goodness, FRAGGLE ROCK IS OFFICIALLY BACK. After a few Red Fraggle in person cameos and the Fraggle Rock return at Carnegie Hall, an *actual* official new Fraggle Rock produced thing...in how long? Since what, Uncle Matt and Cotterpin were on The Today Show in...

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    Niiiice. I think it's fitting he was the main character and leader of Fraggle Rock, as that seemed to be his personality. Kind of a strong underpinning that balanced upholding and strengthening a group while providing exploration, song, laughter and whimsy. I had gotten to see the Fraggle Rock...

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    Oh my! This was more recently? I'm so so grateful that up to his final months he was able to laugh, relive great memories and be around new and old friends. I can think of nothing more positive in the narrative of the human journey than this sort of situation. I absolutely cannot wait to see...

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    I had first gotten to privately visit with Jerry Nelson on the old Muppet Central Delphi chat back in the fall of 1998. It was a magical time to be a Muppet fan, what with Muppets From Space being filmed and some other things we believed to be in development. From his chats and his posts, you...

    Video: The Fraggles at Carnegie Hall!

    Only rich kids, Canadians and British kids got to see Fraggle Rock when it aired. So, no way it ever stood a chance of getting as widely known. I loved the CBS Saturday morning Fraggle Rock animated show, but that was short lived. I think a lot of younger people at the time who were exposed to...

    Is there a link between Fraggle Rock and the Dark Crystal?

    Jerry Nelson told me in a MC chat around Nov/Dec 1998 that it was indeed Fizzgig, or at least one of the puppets/puppet templates used for DC. Perhaps not an official crossover, more akin to Puppet Up and Stuffed and Unstrung using official Muppet puppets for their own use

    The Dream/Ambition Thread

    Great thread...rather than make a big post, I'll just say NOW is the time to go for dreams and goals. Don't put off, and instead visualize and make incremental baby steps(or even nano steps) toward things you want. Don't dare let it be 2013 and you're still thinking "well, I should stop...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    My suggestion: Have Sesame take place in the real world of New York, like the Murray/Ovejita segments. Have Spike Jonze direct:) I agree, gonna be very interesting when a flurry of Muppet related films comes to cinema again. Even though I was disappointed, I loved 1999 for having two Muppet...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    All I can say is THANK GOODNESS. I've been waiting for a new Sesame film for ages. Good to see the Success of Muppets 2011 is paying off. To see those vibrant colorful characters on screen again will be nice. Hey, I even saw Elmo in Grouchland, as much as I didnt care for how the whole movie...

    Politics on MC

    I agree that it's best to keep hot button issues off the table, especially in discussing the legacy of Jim Henson and children's entertainment like this forum. Just sometimes things happen that directly threaten the legacy of Jim Henson(politicians threatening to end PBS) or greatly tarnish the...

    Prometheus: Biggest Disappointment Since Phantom Menace?

    Just wondering who else was severely disappointed by Ridley Scott's Alien saga followup "Prometheus". To list all the issues I had with the film would be numerous(cheesey misplaced score, characters I didnt care for, bad pacing, truncated sequences) but curious what anyone else thought of it...

    Okay... I'm TOTALLY excited for Wreck it Ralph now...

    Looks freaking visionary...not too sure about so much of the film taking place in a candy land world, but wow. As a life long retro gamer, just the whole premise is amazing. Truly the "Roger Rabbit" for the new generation. I've read reports that when it finally comes out, it's going to be packed...
