    Has Disney Redeemed Themselves?

    Hey what's that one Mickey Mouse cgi kids cartoon? That has the WORST Cg animation possible. There was better cgi animation in the mid 1980's! I am SO SICK BEYOND BELIEF of people calling Disney "racist". I want to throw fish at everyone nitpicking princess in the frog. "Her prince should...

    Has Disney Redeemed Themselves?

    Im not a fan of racist Dumbo, or most the 90's princess formula stuff...but I mean, Fantasia 2000 and Emperor's New Groove...Amazing! :) Cool to know there's good stuff on ABC. I don't watch tv much or have cable. I do love Big Bang Theory on CBS and The Office on NBC tho! I tried reading...

    Has Disney Redeemed Themselves?

    For many years, the mere mention of Disney would make a lot of fanboys(of any stripe) cringe. But I don't know...between Tron 2 coming up and their hype around that, bringing forth Pixar's most astonishing films to date(like the recent Up), bringing back beautiful 2d(Princess and the Frog)...

    Top Annoying Misnaming People Do

    What are some of the most annoying wrong names, misconceptions, etc people say when it comes to the Muppets? (this may sound like elitism and whining, but I thought it'd be fun) For me... * Muppets are "baby/kids" stuff. Ooof. The Muppet Babies, which isn't canon in the least, hasn't...

    New Video: Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody!

    woot, its back! tho seemingly stuck around 10 million Sucks knowing how many people tried clicking on it the last few days only to see it was taken down and the potential fan loss. Was that Scandanavian thing a hoax group trying to cause problems?

    New Fraggle Rock Clothing Line coming!

    Yeah in a way the glut of "hip retro/obscure/geek" t shirts takes the fun out of when you *do* find some rare promo or long out of print shirt. I remember having a Johnny The Homicidal Maniac shirt and nintendo promo shirts long before hot topic started carrying that stuff. Im like you, if a...

    Fraggle Rock Event!

    Cory seems convinced things are moving forward, that there will be big things to announce soon...so we'll see. I'm not sure if this Fraggle Party was simply to promote nostalgic trendy merchandise or to truly begin a renewed push in the runup to a movie.But Mr. Edwards is convinced, so I have to...

    Big New Henson Alternative News!

    I think we as fans still continue to put too much hope in JHC. They might have "original home of the muppets" on their building, but in my mind they no longer have any connection to the Muppets or anything I'm all too interested in. Sid the Science Kid? Well, it's certainly...

    Big New Henson Alternative News!

    I agree. When you see how well the recent Pee Wee's Playhouse adult shows have done, as well as Puppet Up; it's clear *this* is what folks want. I really didn't care much for the Tinseltown and SUDS pilots, as much as I LOVED all the puppet characters in both. Maybe it was the...

    Big New Henson Alternative News!

    Also movies. I think doing stuff for major films is a big part of what JHC does. I don't think they have much time for Fraggle Rock, so people are going to have to either be patient. But yeah, most their energy does seem focused on the digital puppetry cg shows. Which is fine, and shows they...

    What happened to Red?

    Absolutely. Unlike the Muppets, the majority of people exposed to Uncle Matt and FR viral videos would be freshly introduced to them having never seen them before. I don't think Henson realizes how detrimental it was to have them on HBO, and how VERY few people seem to know what Fraggle Rock...

    Fraggle Rock Event!

    Ooh, very cool! I sadly hadn't had time to even check out the article when I linked it. A lot of cool photos/tidbits. Do you think they've rebuilt any of the other characters? As Dr Tooth suggested, an Uncle Matt or Red Fraggle sketch for viral youtube purposes would be a really good push in...

    Fraggle Rock Event!

    I couldnt agree more! I've raised that idea before, about rebuilding Uncle Matt and doing cinema verite "on the street" segments to put online; but I guess Disney/Muppet Studios are the only ones willing to do that. Unless JHC starts doing Fraggle skits for youtube, as well as other things; I...

    Fraggle Rock Event!

    Yet so much of America's female population is OBSESSED with this culture, this celebrity worship meme. I don't get...is America so hopeless with rampant joblessness, obesity, broken dreams and giving up goals that our only "high" is to live vicariously through the silver screen and "gorgeous"...

    New Fraggle Rock Clothing Line coming!

    Bleach stain? eep. It bugs me no end how many of the "retro" shirts at hot topic, kohls, etc are "intentionally faded". I HAAAATE this trend. I purposefully buy two shirts to keep one mint, and the other i use woolite. I have video game shirts from the late 1980's that still fit and still look...

    Official Bohemian Rhapsody MP3 now available

    Shoot we'd probably have less war if every generation was raised on, at the very least a localized version of Sesame Street. The look on kids faces in Kosovo, Palestine, and other war torn countries when they see localized Sesame productions is mezmerizing and gives me hope. We, even I, tend to...

    Much Easier Way To Watch Muppets.com

    They should definitely look into optimizing/fixing the site more. But I agree on the "A++" content, I was actually surprised how consistently amazing all the sketches have been this whole time. Aw ok, I think you're right...I can't the dozen or so "Newsman" skits hidden around the...

    Official Bohemian Rhapsody MP3 now available

    Haha, nice! I consider it tantamount to pretty much abuse and neglect for families not to expose their children to the Muppets in some form (Bear in the big blue house, muppets in various shows/specials, fraggle rock, sesame street, various JHC productions) I believe children raised on...

    Much Easier Way To Watch Muppets.com

    For real? Weird. Beaker and Bunsen pop up for me on that link, with all the muppets.com videos. Well this is the main page, with character bios and so forth: http://disney.go.com/characters/?channel=153960 I prefer this way to navigate the muppets.com videos, as you can pause them, its...

    New Fraggle Rock Clothing Line coming!

    What...you saying you don't like 245% toy and shirt markups at trendy stores like Urban Outfitters? :p As far as silly creatures...Pee Wee, Emo Phillips, Crispin Glover, etc are silly creatures... Paris Hilton is a creature that needs to go to a clinic.
