    Is it ok for a character's style to evolve?

    Good observation. I meant to say the EM keep being seen in their default 70's outfits as much as there's been individual character changes depending on the special or show, or film. The look they had in the Muppet pilot is pretty much the look they've been in as far as their main image. To me...

    Is it ok for a character's style to evolve?

    I hear ya, but the core Muppets who wear clothes(Piggy, Animal, Rizzo, Pepe, etc) are always changing their outfits and wardrobes. For a few years Janice had a mid 80's look going on, but then it went back to the hippy stuff. Which is ironic as the whole 80's retro look didnt get popular...

    Muppet Movie Marathon Saturday 11/27 on The Hub

    Nice Due to already airing Fraggle Rock, original Transformers and 80's sitcoms; I had heard a lot of good things about this channel. It's very exciting. My family tradition already for Thanksgiving(and Christmas) has been Muppet movie/specials marathons so this is perfect. One can only...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    I thankfully cannot recall ever being annoyed by children at a movie theater. Parents should just leave and ask for a refund if their kid starts screaming or becoming unruly. Also it puzzles me why children are allowed in R rated movies. I mean I can see for maybe a soft R like the Matrix...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    We're not negative nancy's, we are realists. I remember being on MC in the fall of 1998 when Brian Henson announced a new Dark Crystal film. 12 years later, despite the buzz about a new Dark Crystal film being "in the works", it still seems far from becoming a reality for now. Fraggle Rock is a...

    Is it ok for a character's style to evolve?

    We've all noticed how both structurally, personality wise and fashion wise many of the Muppets have changed their style over the decades. Yet, why is it ok for some too but for others to change...it'd be considered heresy? I've noticed some fans balk at the mere idea of the Electric Mayhem...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    It is funny how the anti war protests were ignored by the media, but even the smallest "Tea Party" protest gets major coverage. Its the ultimate Stockholm syndrome with how they protest the very health care proposal that poor/struggling rural folk like themselves have been wanting. Also, they...

    Do You Know Muppet Fans In Real Life?

    Yeah it's weird, I walked out of Spencers after purchasing a new furry Animal hat, and not 30 seconds after putting it on already about 3 or 4 people passing by made comments. So I think it's a good sign, and that there's a chance the movie and promotion next year will do really well; and...

    Spencer's Muppet Merchandise

    Whoah..bro...you mean "toothpick holders"...hence what Kermit "shot glasses" are called at Disney parks that they sell. Though funnily enough, in the 70's there was an official Cookie Monster brand brandy or vodka I think in Europe(was on the old Kermitage.com site)

    New Muppet Movie to be Filled with Cameos

    Well given the film will be acknowledging the Muppets wide body of work Im sure they'll be referencing their past films...but if they break the fourth wall regarding it also being a movie...then again, that's going into Spike Jonze meta-land!

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    Well, I never thought that an out of leftfield bizarre Henson Alternative film would be made *before* the Fraggle film, but I guess that appears to be the case. Strange, that in 2011 we will get two Muppet/Henson films. From the reports, the "Happytime Murder" film is suppose to be way over the...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    Yeah wow, evil vindictive Woody...so not cool. But I have to say, I HATED Toy Story 3...and believe me, the main villain(and his creepy giant baby lackey) are very loathsome and unlikeable. Just the whole film, as beautiful and next gen as it looked, rubbed me the wrong way. I may not be too...

    Spencer's Muppet Merchandise

    Just went to the local Spencers, wow! They pushed all the adult/juggalo/tapout/adult stuff way to the back, and the ENTIRE front half and main display of the store was all Muppets, Sonic the hedgehog(*melts*), Super Mario, Ninja Turtles, Sesame, Fraggle Rock and some other cool stuff. I was...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    I agree that Obama has been pinned down, just like most of us easily predicted: Made extreme ineffectual and marginalized. A Jimmy Carter type figure. But if Bush could pass laws above the heads of people, I dont see why Obama cant take a stand, say 'screw it', and pass laws that help people or...

    New Muppet Christmas Ornament at the Disney Store

    I have my own real life guinea, so no merch needed. My friend bought me G-force on dvd, is it worth watching? Yeah I love robots, but robots(and Im sorry, cars too) just are not cuddly. And the figures of the helpers just weren't very colorful. Actually its a downright depressing movie(Wall...

    New Muppet Movie to be Filled with Cameos

    Someone said the lady from I Dream of Jeanie will be cameoing as her character? I always get cheesed out when supernatural/Looney Toon physics are used in a theatrical film; as it just takes me out of the element. It's fine for tv specials, but to me it cheeses it up.

    Me and My Monsters

    Holy early 90's Batman! This looks like a sitcom Henson woulda done in 93-94 for ABC that woulda lasted a few months in march or april. (wait, didnt they do something just like this, but with aliens?) My first thoughts were "wow, this is the first time Creature Shop has made characters...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    Ok, so the pencil like herky jerky animation isnt as graceful as the beautifully rendered cgi version that came out, but that's no reason to scrap a movie! I still woulda seen it if it was in that style of non animation:p

    New Muppet Christmas Ornament at the Disney Store

    Aw yes, the Up figurine set that has been impossible to find given they only sent a few to some select stores here and there. The one Pixar movie that didn't tsunami every store in the world with endless merchandising crud, and it happens to be my fave Pixar movie:( That set woulda been...
