    Disney Takes Muppet Script Through Pixar

    An official Pixar involvement with anything Muppets would be beyond amazing. I'd LOVE to see a Pixar Muppets cgi short. Anyone who thinks CGI muppet stuff wouldn't be good, is most likely thinking of the usual crappy cgi used by Henson digital or any of the kids shows out there.(like that...

    Disney Takes Muppet Script Through Pixar

    Not odd at all. Pixar is one of the only thing keeping Disney a marquee name besides the Jonas/Cyrus/tween crowd stuff. Sure, we all wish they would do more than one movie a year. We wish they would do more shorts, or a tv series, or something more. But when I see Up...nothing Dreamworks or...

    Disney Takes Muppet Script Through Pixar

    This is probably the biggest news so far in this whole project, bigger than even when the darn film was announced. The industry needs more of this. Brutal honesty. Imagine if Muppets From Space had this? Heck, Transformers 1 and 2? I could already guess that the script so far is riddled...

    Best Of the Mid-Late 90's Merchandise?

    I was thinking back to the three decades Ive been collecting Muppet stuff(tho sadly, most of it was long ago sold) and as much as I liked the 2002-2004 tsunami of merchandising radness...I also recall the 1994-1997 period, even through 1999...having some seriously cool stuff. Before their was...

    Official Muppet Scale/Chart?

    Aw, it would seem this scale from 1985 confirms that! http://www.muppetcentral.com/collectibles/muppetpics/rare_cell_little_muppet_monsters.jpg

    Uncle Deadly WILL be in the New Muppet movie!

    Dark Crystal 2 seems to have a little bit of traction, but yeah...I'll believe it when I see the trailer. Same for "Fraggle Rock the movie". At this point I'd gladly fawn over a 30 minute straight to dvd "movie" or special. Gladly. It seems like Sid the Science Kid and outside contracted...

    Official Muppet Scale/Chart?

    Thanks! Man, I had no idea just how tall Animal was. As he always seems to be the same height as everyone. I notice Rizzo and Pepe end up being almost as tall as some of the other characters just depending on how the muppeteers/cameraman are framing a particular scene. But eh, not much else ya...

    The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer [Poughkeepsie, NY]

    Oh wow, a 20th annv. Keith Haring retrospective? Very cool. I still to this day see his prints in restaurants and all over. How was Stuffed and Unstrung? Ive seen the youtube live stuff they've put up. Would it be fair to categorize Richard as one of the more elusive of the Muppeteers? To...

    The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer [Poughkeepsie, NY]

    Sounds amazing! Can't wait to hear reviews of the presentations. And I love zines. I got to meet Richard's sisters, who couldnt be more thrilled to see such avid fan love for Richard's signature characters. It's funny because Beaker is by far one of the most popular and beloved of the "cult"...

    Muppet Snow White

    HANDS DOWN the best art/coloring of any of the Muppet titles out there. Just picked up #2, extremely impressed. I dig Mebberson, Langridge, but something about this particular book's art/inking/color style really popped for me. Cant wait to see this team tackle other Muppet comics. Instead of...

    Dinosaur Train and Sid the Science Kid Toys on sale

    Was at Toys R Us, they now have Sid the Science kid plushes and a few other toys, and they have Dinosaur Train figures(non articulated, more like figurines) and train playsets and then the super big figures with bells and whistles. Im guessing they'll be releasing Sid the Science kid figures...

    Muppets Animal keepsake ornament 2010

    Amazing. Year after year Hallmark makes the coolest Muppet ornaments. I LOVE the look of Animal here Now if only Disney could create an endless array of 3 3/4" action figure Muppet line in this scale/style, I'd be the happiest fan on the planet.

    "The World of Jim Henson" 1994 documentary

    I was at a thrift store today, and right when I was about to leave I noticed nestled amongst all the old vhs was "The World Of Jim Henson", a 90 minute documentary on Jim Henson and the Muppets from 1994 that I had never seen nor even heard of before...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    Aw yes, youre right...probably people who caught it on Disney Channel reruns in the 90's. Shame it hasnt been shown since. But with the college/hipster/indie/geek crowd there is definitely a big love for FR. I know people's eyes light up when they see me in my Fraggle or various Muppet shirts

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    Yeah it's a great documentary, but I also recommend "Dream On Little Dreamer". To me REAL edgy has nothing to do with being mean, in your face subversive or adult. In fact, since the late 90's when everything had to be "exxxxtreme", not being edgy is edgy. Real edge is when a piece can...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    Yeah it'll be a miracle if Dark Crystal 2 or Fraggle Rock the Movie ever gets made. You're right...thinking back I DO WISH Fraggle Rock was snatched in the Eisner purchase of Muppets/Bear in the Big Blue House Fraggle Rock ARE MUPPETS. JHC can play coy and dance around it, but Sesame...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    How is this? I carried my Fraggle Rock lunchbox and thermos every day to school in 1986. I had a lot of the books. I was a big Fraggle Rock fan in the 1980's and even *I* rarely if ever got to see the show til I got the Disney Channel reruns in 1994 and later through vhs tape trades. You had...

    Is Fraggle Rock Animated worth buying?

    DEFINITELY worth the $15! There's even new interviews/featurettes. Growing up poor in the 80's, I didn't have access to cable or HBO, so aside from the occasional Fraggle HBO episode at a friend's house; the animated series in 1988 is what really got me into them. Before that all I had...
