The Jim Henson Company was not involved in the details of the production of this set. They sold the Muppets and all the rights to Disney last year. The WALT DISNEY CO. is the one who made the set and are running the Muppets. If you want to complain then complain too Disney. Henson did not make...

I beg to differ. In the case of the Fraggles it did make a diffrence. Take a look at the official "Fraggle Rock: Complete First Season" press release: http://www.henson.com/company/070305.html Here is just an excerpt: "...After an online petition was signed by thousands of fans to get Fraggle...

Check out this post: http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=21141' Only the innitial printing of the set was fuzzy - as originally planned and announced. The plan was for the first release of the season one set to be the collector's packaging (which was fuzzy). Due to the high volume...

I would hold onto your copy of "The Muppet Take Manhattan". Disney is not re-releasing at film. I also would not sell any yet (there is still a chance, though be it a small one, that the re-releases will not have the same bonus features and might be fullscreen) I would wait until the full...

The final and full features list and specs have just been posted to the HIT store: http://www.hitstoreusa.com/emotjuchd.html

Why was the pitch reel cut? I did some digging and (unlike the folks at Jim Hill Media want you to think) it was for pure legal reasons - not Disney sensoring the Muppets and trying to make them more kiddie. It is not because Kermit says "****", it is because the CBS logo Kermit stands in front...

Here are some of my feelings on the set, maybe later this week I'll write it up in paragraph from and make a better review of the set, but here is what I think. Restored/Remastered: This is the best I've ever seen the Muppet Show look, the video quality is great. Original Openings: This is...

Only the innitial printing of the set was fuzzy - as originally planed. The plan was for the first release of the season one set to be the collector's packaging (which was fuzzy). Due to the high volume needed to meet the demand the subsequent printings of the set were just plain cardboard...

It was shot in widescreen and edited in widescreen. If you had a widescreen TV you would have seen it broadcast in widescreen and the NYC premiere was in widescreen too. They have a widescreen version available, they just opted not to use it. The price is already set at $39.99 retail (but...

I received an e-mail today from the Muppet Holding Company. They wanted to put to rest all the speculation and rumors of how "The Muppets' Wizard of Oz" really did. As many of you may know, this was the first Muppet production to be released since Disney acquired the brand. The fate of the...

Package Art Here is some breaking news on the package for Season 1. They went with the design that surfaced earlier (the green box with Kermit's collar) but added a fun (and furry) twist. Check this link out for the full details...

Here are the details for the upcoming "Muppets' Wizard of Oz" DVD: Disc Features: * "The Muppets' Wizard of Oz" extended cut (with over 20-minutes of new material not seen on TV) * Pepe’s Exclusive "Making Of" Bonus Featurette * "Oz Oops!" Outtakes and Bloopers * Pepe’s extended interview with...

It has not been said if it will have subtitles. Hopefully it will, but I have not heard back one way or the other yet. Hopefully in the coming week I'll be able to get an answer on this issue. Also, subtitles and closed-captioning are diffrent things; they serve the same purpose (being able to...

Just to dissect some of the lies from this quote: 1) Jerry and Paul are not the only people who know how to make a decent Muppet Movie. And if the fate of the Muppets depends on these two people doing everything the franchise is doomed to crash and burn in the years to come (especially when...

I really like Muppets Tonight. One of the things I liked was that is was not a rehash of The Muppet Show and did not become "the Muppet Show season 6 (but in a tv station instead of a theater)". There were new characters, new relationships, new things to explore. Sadly the show was just hitting...

Yes there will be atleast one. And while you are on the subject of saving extras for future releases: In talking with some of the people working on the sets I have heard a whole bunch of things about the hopes for future seasons – nothing to solid but a good idea that the other sets will be...

Adding another disc or another side to the discs will increase the cost of production. They do not feel it is worth it to increase their space 25% (and increase the cost) just for another 22-mins of footage to squeeze in one more pilot that they could just hold for another set with room to kill...

I think the key is for the Muppets to get a new solid (and good key) writter/writtng team. Brian Henson said "...if it's there in the script you can make a great movie into a good movie, but you can't actually make a great movie into a bad movie if it was a great script. Likewise, if you have a...
