    Jason Segel talks The Muppets and his inspiration

    I dug the Golden Book style of Madagascar. They were going for a different sort of look, but some of the motion did appear stiff and rigged. Apart from the senseless sequel (that I skipped) I see Kung Fu Panda as DreamWorks' animation reboot and from then on they're on Pixar level IMHO. The...

    Katy Perry song banned from Sesame Street Season 41

    :super:I thought the video, composition, shooting, editing and vocals were easy to understand and top shelf. Also loved the Oscar cameo! This is very much in the spirit of the original video. Sure, there's repetition of a few key shots, but that's one of the educational parts of the song and of...

    Katy Perry song banned from Sesame Street Season 41

    Bunk! I was actually excited by this video and it made me really like Elmo! That's a rare feat! SW knew about Katy Perry when they hired her. They approved the song, the wardrobe and she went through hair and makeup before even starting the shoot. Let's remember that this whole video is...

    Palisades figures - why are some more valuable than others?

    Timing, quantity, marketing and character faves all played a role in the success of the figures. Some of the best sculpts like Beauregard, Uncle Deadly, Sweetums, Mega Gonzo, Clifford, Johnny Fiama, were slow sellers and still are. I think having a Kermit available regularly carded with every...

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    I agree. Maybe having two chefs is okay, but they made no real effort to connect them somehow. What's next, Freddy the Fish-Slinging Muppet or Melvin the Muppet xylophonist? I agree that a chef is more of a mainstream profession, but when someone says Muppet Chef they don't think of a Muppet in...

    Jason Segel talks The Muppets and his inspiration

    I tend to ignore most other forum boards and posts. Just look at all the horrible Yahoo responses to find examples of mainstream America's ignorant and often bigoted ranting. It doesn’t take long for the Muppets to win people over so I don’t think a few bad apples posting garbage will spoil this...

    Jason Segel talks The Muppets and his inspiration

    The icky-looking “Alpha and Omega” is not a DreamWorks project. It's from Crest Animation (formerly RichCrest Studios that produced “Swan Princess” and “The King and I”) and distributed by Lionsgate. Strangely enough, this is probably the final performance from film legend Dennis Hopper. Other...

    As much as I don't support absolutes or blanket statements...I support this one. You are right! :super:

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    While that's partly true, Kermit's almost always been the leader, not necessarily the straight man. He was central to Sam & Friends, the early days of Sesame Street, the Muppet Show & Movies, the Henson Hour and the majority of projects. The reason why he didn't host the Muppet Show's Sex &...

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    ...a little off topic, but it goes full circle No Muppet old or new should have usurped Kermit's role, but it wasn't the purple dude's fault. I don't really have a problem with him making ethnic references, but many of the ones he employed seemed forced. He's best when he just lets the humor...

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    That's what I'm kind of getting from the Muppet Kitchen too. There's fun peeking out from the edges. I just hope it takes center stage next go-round.

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    Clifford's design is striking. He's a colorful, beautiful and dynamic puppet even without eyes. There's so much that's expressive about his shape and flexibility and it's partly why I dug Clifford okay on the Henson Hour even though I felt he took some time away from the Mayhem. He later...

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    That's exactly what I was thinking - they could easily have the Swedish Chef sign off the program by judging the resulting dish as "Okie-dokie!" :hungry: Just a nod to the famous Muppet Swed that will help new viewers who've wandered into a single episode.

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    Eyes would help because he' doesn't have an instant charm or a distinct shtick to connect him with an audience like the other eyeless Muppets like the wildly inviting Swedish Chef or funky Floyd. Neither required much screentime or introduction for audiences to understand and embrace them. I...

    The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora

    Nah. I'm very opinionated, but that's why people come to forums. But there's mutual respect. Incidentally, I did have a little bit of Photoshop fun with Angelo the other day. I gave him eyes etc to see what might make the existing design more Muppety. I wasn't happy with the results, but it...

    Oh, certainly not. Subtlety isn't my strong suit. :o Why would you think I wrote that to you personally or meant it as an insult? Even if I'd lost my social graces for a minute it certainly wouldn't be at you or ambiguous. I just think that some fans are by nature easier to please. Some fans...
