    Disney's Muppet Merchandise

    This is not just a "Disney-thing". Heck most of the merchandise is not even made by Disney themselves. Even in the Henson-era there was a ton of ugly Muppet products made. If you don't belive me take a look at the following links: http://www.toughpigs.com/soapboxuglytoys2005.htm...

    Emmet Otter DVD: History Revisioning

    Disney is not the one's causing this, it is HIT's decision. They want to release a quick, easy, and cheap DVD. By spending time, energy, workers, (and possibly some money) working with Disney to be able to keep Kermit's small role in the special is something they don't feel is needed and would...

    It's Official: Fraggle Rock Season 1 Box Set

    There were two (2) seasons of Muppets Tonight produced. During the two seasons there were 22 total episodes made (that is equal to the size of just one of the Muppet Show's seasons). It would be cool if Disney release a box set of "Muppets Tonight - The Complete Series" after they finish all...

    It's Official: Fraggle Rock Season 1 Box Set

    No, HIT is planning to release both. They hope to continue the single-disc 3-episode DVD releases for the casual/younger fans, and also produce the box sets for the hard-core fans/collectors. They will be releasing both products, and hope to continue producing more single-disc and box set...

    It's Official: Fraggle Rock Season 1 Box Set

    I have some more good news, the release time-frame has been narrowed from a vague season (fall 2005) to an exact month (September 2005). HIT is now stating officially that the box set is due for release this September - just a little over four months away. They don't know the exact date yet, but...

    Sesame Street Walkaround List

    I'm not sure about Hoot, but the Wolf is a walkaround - I shook the guy's hand before he mounted the float for the parade. This was several years ago so they may have changed since then, but the Wolf was a walkaround (and I think he still might be). I would like to say however he was one of the...

    Any Plans for a NEW SS Movie?

    I would love to see an "Adventures of Super Grover" Movie. Super hero movies are huge, and it's about time that Sesame fans and pre-schoolers got a fun and furry film that showcases a real hero - Grover. It has a big potential to be entertaining, heart-warming, fun, funny, touching, and...

    Any Plans for a NEW SS Movie?

    They like to spread them out, don't expect anything until 2013-ish. :p There are not plans right now for another theatrical film - they are however, working on a Bert & Ernie around the world TV-movie planned for this fall.

    It's Official: Fraggle Rock Season 1 Box Set

    The flyer insert that came with "Where it All Began" back in July 2004 did not mention season sets. That ad simply said more Fraggle DVDs will be coming starting fall 2004 and more did come starting in October 2004 (Where it all Began Special Edition, followed by Dance your Cares Away). To quote...

    It's Official: Fraggle Rock Season 1 Box Set

    Whoopie! It is about time we got HIT to give anyone a clear sign, and that insert is pretty clear. I am trying to get more details and information from HIT on this excellent news...but being that it is Saturday (and most of HIT is out until Monday) you'll all have to wait a few days until...

    Yes, it is still on the air. The show first aired as a Thanksgiving special in 1989, and later debuted on January 14, 1990 as a smash hit regular series on ABC (hosted by Bob Saget). The show still maintains decent ratings today. The show is now on its third host, or host-team, (Bob Saget...

    There Could Be Some Hope With Oz

    MGM made them red in their version of the movie because red was just more colorful than a greyish silver and they wanted to show off their color technology. But the book has them as silver slippers, not ruby. But because the MGM movie was such a hit and is such a part of our culture now, many...

    There Could Be Some Hope With Oz

    Glad to see you're starting to come around, Beaker. ;) I have been pretty excited to start, but I continue to get even more hyped the more information and images I see. I noticed a lot of new things in the pictures that excited me too!

    Any plans for Muppet Oz McDonald Toys?

    There are no plans for fast food tie-ins for this movie. Remember this is just a TV-movie and Disney has a bunch of bigger budget films to be pushing this summer.
