    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    HOLY TAMOLE! Here's basically the hot new property with the massively popular Apatow gang in tow(Seth Rogan, Johnah Hill, Bill Hader, Paul Rudd, etc) saying "No more Muppets in Wonderland, no more Muppets Oliver Twist...were bringing this whole thing back to where it needs to be" Now...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Not as a feature. Garfield to me sure doesnt work in 3d, and hes already a cartoon. Not as a feature. Garfield to me sure doesnt work in 3d, and hes already a cartoon. I dunno, I think it worked. Could you imagine if MFS was populated by 90's era "alt rock"? *shivers* But your right, the...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Well I was in Los Angeles and Hollywood this weekend, and theres Forgetting Sarah Marshall promotion all over and a big buzz about the film...so Stoller/Segal are kind of "it" guys right now...so this is definately positive news. Its not like they went with two people whose only credits...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Oh gosh, I could watch VMX and MFS any day than I could any "classic retelling" the Muppets have done. It's hard for me to watch a Muppet film where they arent playing their zany selves. Oz to me is the absolute worst thing I've ever seen the Muppets involved with. Also yeah a PG rating makes...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Ya kidding? MWOZ sounded like a horrific idea to myself and many Muppet fans from the get go. Many of us knew it'd blow, and it exceded our expectations of crummyness. Very Muppet Movie I felt was pretty darn good, almost close to an actual Muppet film in some ways. But I think your right...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    I agree on both fronts! I remember in 1999/2000/2001/2002 people thinking I was weird for pushing the idea of "out there" directors possibly what the Muppets needed, like Spike Jonze, or a number of indie directors. For almost a decade on muppet central myself and many others have long...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Well we got some good news, as Aint It Cool News spoke with these two guys: “Oh, god, you have no idea how much I love the Muppets,u201D he told me. And the reverence he expressed when he showed me the Dracula puppet that Henson’s workshop created for him and the joy I saw on his face, take...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Oh we're on the same page...but shouldn't some of the head Muppet veterans have a big helping hand with the writing? I'm seeing these Muppets.com new shorts and absolutely loving the chemistry...the Muppets don't feel like "old nostalgia", they feel current. I want someone to write from that...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    Um... Did anyone check out the IMDB profiles of these two? This is who Disney tapped? Im just saying...what happened to the script Brian Henson and Bill Baretta were writing? If anyone knows the Muppets more. Heck, whose writing the Muppets.com scripts/ideas? I could see this team...

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    Oh man, the last two elevator bits have been too much...those really appeal to my cryptic sense of humor. I think we're witnesses something very special, building blocks if you will, of the future. This humor/chemistry theyre slowly building up with the muppets is really top notch now...

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    Dave, Steve, Bill and Eric as someone said are absolute magic. The chemistry and humor in these muppets.com videos are top notch in my view...and if this is any preview indication of a weekly prime time show in the future, then we're in good hands. Also as others said, they gotta get the...

    When Will Muppet*Vision Be Removed

    I have also personally heard from someone close to an Imagineer that MuppetVision is not going anywhere. So in Kermit arms flailing mode, *yayyyyyayayay* I don't want to see MV3d taken out, I want to see the Muppets presence at California Adventure expanded upon!

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    OOhh nice! Heh, the second video(the 5 minute one) is so classic! I always love it when the Muppets do unscripted interviews on the street...but this time, its with celebrities. The pairing of Kermit and Pepe on the red carpet was genuis. See folks, so Muppets.com updates videos not just...

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    Vaughn: I am so sorry all these things are befalling you right now. Youve been one of the most creative and knowlegable/passionate JH fans Ive come to know on here, and it's painful to see one of us have to go through so much. It's powerful as well to know how much JH's work continues to...

    Your Thoughts: The Star Wars Muppet Figures

    Im still wondering about that. I saw all the Star Wars Disney figures at Disneyland in August, and while I dont really collect Disneyana, they sure looked cool.

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    Told you I wasnt nuts for saying Mindstyle made sure noone took pictures of the Fraggle figures Letter less Fraggle boxes with a window=excellent. So good to have an official word Hopefully Mindstyle will feel confident in their work to let the world see these things soon:) Oh, and...

    MASTER REPLICAS @ Toy Fair 08

    They are meticulously detailed, just facial wise they don't strike me as looking like the real deal. Hey just my opinion(and I have seen some of these up close) Either way Im happy they've been made and have added to the muppet excitement.

    MASTER REPLICAS @ Toy Fair 08

    Im not sure what in the world is up with creating an expensive high end market Electric Mayhem figurine set out of polystone...a set that will probably be like 100 dollars. Why not just make a version of the prototyped Electric Mayhem muppet minis? And this is going to upset a lot of people...

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    Most likely. There's endless coverage of Toy Fair 2008 all over the net, and coincidentally only the Fraggle shelf of Mindstyle's cases isnt photographed and shown online. As you said, it's likely they are going to only show them exclusively in Tomart, Lee's or Toyfare magazine or online in...
