    Disney to Release 'Muppets Movie' Next Thanksgiving

    Aside from the 1998 looking old cgi animation(no idea what that is about), Im a fan of Madagascar's series and the penguin spinoff. Not a huge fan, but I've seen em all including the xmas special. Usually, with the exception of Monsters vs Aliens, I cant stand Dreamworks stuff at all. I think...

    Disney to Release 'Muppets Movie' Next Thanksgiving

    Holy crap the news keeps getting better and better. I almost didn't even want to speculate as to why the Muppets wasn't getting the coveted Disney Thanksgiving period release, as that's usually reserved for animated faire. You folks know what this means right? Disney now considers "The...

    Dark Crystal II Directors Creating Hundreds of Puppets

    They should film a lot of it outside, in New Zealand...WETA could hook em' up with the LOTR/Hobbit crew:3

    Great eBay deal: Adv Kermit + Robin for $25

    Oh wow, I didn't even see those other auctions. Usually you can't even find one of those exclusives for that price, much less a whole set of lots.

    Great eBay deal: Adv Kermit + Robin for $25

    I was just about to buy this, but felt maybe someone on here who is a bigger Palisades collector would want this. For $25 plus $8 shipping, it looks like you get a MOC Adv Kermit and a MOC Robin. Thats a crazy deal. And its a buy it now...

    New Pics: Jason Segel and the Muppets at the L.A. movie set

    Oh totally. That moment at NBC studios may have flew under the radar for Muppet fans, but I find it part of the highlights of 2010 for us. I downloaded the two videos from msnbc.com about the "pipes". To me New York City is the spiritual home of the Muppets, least in the post Muppet show period...

    New Pics: Jason Segel and the Muppets at the L.A. movie set

    Most movies that get shelved(for limited runs/dtv a year or two later) are usually seriously lame thriller/horror films(with the exception of Fanboys, which was a comedy but that I also didnt care for much) Mike Judge's Idiocracy got shelved too, though that might have been a mix of bad test...

    New Pics: Jason Segel and the Muppets at the L.A. movie set

    It has been quite a seachange and paradigm shift to be sure. I never would have imagined something as extrordinarily visionary as Tron Legacy, or seeing a Muppet revival to such a level as we're now seeing. Even Pixar has stepped up their game, adding so much more emotional punch to their...

    This is probably why we didn't have comic news

    Oh bro, I'm so with you! I want a new ongoing or mini series OUTSIDE of the theater...heck, have the theater imploded in the first panel by a tycoon who bought the property or Crazy Harry. And yeah its about time we get Pepe, Bobo, Johnny, Sal, Carl, etc.

    New Pics: Jason Segel and the Muppets at the L.A. movie set

    Isn't it funny how a lot of us ol' vets on MC have gone from Disney haters to being in love with the company? I never woulda imagined in 2001, heck 2004 that we'd be where we are now. I thought the Muppets were just going to be shelved. And yeah, that whole Oz period pretty much made me wonder...

    New Pics: Jason Segel and the Muppets at the L.A. movie set

    Heck yeah. I remember being 6 too when I had my first Muppet theatrical experience(Muppets Take Manhattan), though according to my folks I had been a huge Muppet/Sesame/Henson nut since before I could talk!

    New Pics: Jason Segel and the Muppets at the L.A. movie set

    I think it's normal for D'Snowth to feel a bit pessimistic, afterall...we all know the story of the dark crystal sequel and Fraggle Rock film...and well, the lip service we got over the years regarding a new Muppet film. But once a live action film gets under way with Disney, and we actually...

    Cookie Monster makes SNL audition tape on YouTube

    I agree, the classic Muppets should be front and center. Have the main core of Kermit, Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, Pepe, Animal, Rizzo, Beaker, Bunsen, Sam, Janice, Bobo, Beau, Big Mean Carl, etc. But I say we DO need new characters. There needs to be a strong new vibrant lead female co-star, Im...

    This is probably why we didn't have comic news

    I agree. It's been cute and nice to have the Muppets kept to a low profile niche underground market and fan base for the last decade. But it's time for the Muppets to get the Toy Story 3 marketing treatment(although, I am beyond sick of seeing anything Toy Story related at this point)...

    This is probably why we didn't have comic news

    I agree that Boom, NOT Marvel, needs to be the sole imprint of all Disney/Pixar/Muppet worlds comics. A few years ago the small Slave Labor Graphics(SLG) was the imprint for Disney titles(Gargoyles, Tron, etc) but Boom Kids works fine. In fact anyone can pick up all Boom Kids titles at Toys R...

    Is there Muppet continuity/canon?

    One thing is for sure though(least to me) If all the Muppet Babies characters(besides Nanny) have origins in Muppet canon proper...than surely Skeeter must exist outside of that show. I think that was the thinking behind her starring in that one Muppet comic story arc, and I seriously wish...

    I second the talent search! Or at least a special issue featuring the best of reader sent in pinups and short comic stories(Antarctic Press does this several times a year with its Gold Digger title) And as you and Drtooth said, they need to move on from strictly TMS and start incorporating...

    Is there Muppet continuity/canon?

    Ha, I totally get you...but I had forgotten just how much the Muppets break the fourth wall in so many of their productions. It almost seems like a biproduct of the 80's for Henson Studios to have shoehorned the Muppet Babies into any of the proper Muppet productions like TMTM or MFC...almost...

    This is probably why we didn't have comic news

    You're such a Wembley worry wart man:) Though yeah, usually we do hear of changeups or new titles way in advance. I'm sure it'll be a temporary hiccup. Of course i propose we start putting out Muppet doujinshi/fan comic zines, but that's another topic. It would be absolutely bullocks for...

    This is probably why we didn't have comic news

    While this is disappointing, the man obviously needs a break. Given the TREMENDOUS talent Boom already has in their roster and could easily employ; why would the Muppets comic line be at all in jeopardy? The only reason the series or offshoots could end if if they felt they weren't selling...
