    Manhattan DVD

    When Disney bought the Muppets from Henson they also got Henson's stakes in all the Muppet films and productions. However many productions were (and some still are) split between companies. Disney bought "The Muppet Movie" and "Great Muppet Caper" from Sony (giving them full ownership of the...

    Save the Muppets

    Yes, that would be a "fake Muppet", as long as Kevin Clash was still puppeteering. Why should we settle for anything else? The fact is, the Muppets are more than a voice, and more than some gestures. They are living breathing celebrities with a soul and spirit. If someone did a spot-on...

    Save the Muppets

    I don't care how or when the person was hired, what I care about is the fact that their are two people tying to give one character a soul at once. If both Kevin Clash and Eric Jacobson flip-flopped back and forth as the principle performer of Sam Eagle just based on convenience, I would be...

    What kind of action will get SW's attention?

    There are legal issues - lots of them. It’s not just a cover, it is the truth, A little clip here and another old clip there is easy (especially given the type of clips used). Releasing some bits (especially ones bit from a past commercial video release) is a synch. Some stuff is easy (and...

    Statler & Waldorf on movies.com

    That was not Eric doing Sam, it was a cheap convenience based recast.

    What kind of action will get SW's attention?

    Classic DVDs are on the horizon For years fans have been wondering if Sesame Workshop will release classic episodes, or even a collection of the classic segments of Sesame Street on DVD. And for years, the prospect of ever seeing such releases has looked grim. However there may be a light at...

    Statler & Waldorf on movies.com

    I've signed up for the e-mail notification too (the "Balcony Bulletin"). I don't know why, but I have always gotten the e-mail telling me a new episode is here about two+ days after the episode was actually posted on the website. So if you really want to be the first to see it, don't rely on the...

    Which muppeteers haven't actually met Jim?

    Bill did meet Jim, although they never worked together. Bill met Brian when they were working at Sesame Place and the two became friends. Brian introduced Bill to his dad and the two met, but Bill did not work as a puppeteer until after Jim had passed away. Of the principle Muppet puppeteers...

    newer songs

    The reason it is hard is because they made a CD. People who want thoes songs should buy the CD, instead of downloading the songs illegally.

    Authentic, Fully Licensed, Muppet Replicas Coming!

    The SaveTheMuppets campaign is not against changing performers – that is inevitable and required for the Muppets to survive. People like Steve Whitmire (Kermit) and Eric Jacobson (Fozzie/Piggy) have been excellent at keeping the Muppet characters of Jim, Frank, and other past performers alive...

    Authentic, Fully Licensed, Muppet Replicas Coming!

    I am not against the Muppet replicas. But I am against multiple performers for the Muppets. These are glorified dolls. They are not “living”, “breathing”, interacting, real-live Muppets. They don’t have the “soul” or “spirit” that the live Muppets bring to the screen (or if you see them live...

    Save the Muppets

    I've seen all over the net that whenever people talk about SaveTheMuppets their is a group of people who toss arguments in the mix like "That new Statler was good. In fact I liked it more than Steve's", or "That Sam was closer to Frank's than Eric's Sam"... Alright, Disney might have gotten...

    When did they inrtoduce Clifford?

    Clifford was Kevin's first (and only) real lasting Muppet character to date. Kevin joined Henson in 1985, Clifford was created in 1988 and first appeared in The Jim Henson Hour (1989). Clifford has appeared in: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, Muppets From...

    Save the Muppets

    For over 5o years it has be an "ideal world" (at least in these terms). Why can't that continue? I think that brining in new occasion performers will make them die. I'll take quality over quantity any day. I'd rather only see quality Muppets in new stuff once evey two years, than see fake...
