It reminded me of Denton, USA.

Fozzy Bear. Ms. Piggy. The very first sentence gave us clear warning that this was a less-than-scholarly article.

Nope, this isn't Gobo. Although I can see the family resemblance. Hey...I bet I could reuse this pattern for Uncle Traveling Matt. He's a conehead too.

Believe me, I know all about that. With my Fraggle replicas, if I'm lucky I only do 3 tester skulls before I get what I want. If I'm lucky...well, I have a BIG garbage bag full of foam skulls. I stuff the patterns inside them because, who knows, what doesn't work for one character may help...

That's some impressive work. As others have said, it's hard to get the look of a puppet just right, but you've gotten it down to three decimal places. I wish I could see this puppet "in person."

I'm sad to hear that MMW isn't pulling in more viewers. But, as has been said, there's a lot of competition for this market on the screens right now. Stoopid other movies horning in on our territory! My father and I went to a 9:00 screening last night, and it was sold out, mostly adults. And...

I sew the "lip" to the felt covering the mouthplate. It's a pain in the neck, but I like the result. The ears will camouflage that big ol' seam on the side of the head, thank goodness.

Nope. I wouldn't recognize his face if I saw it.

I watched the movie again today. Yeah, two days in a row. Yesterday, after I got home from my first viewing I found that my father had E-mailed me an invitation. Hey, why not? Like I never get that much out of a movie on the first viewing. I don't know why; I just can't put things...

Four test skulls and four extra noses later, here's the undecorated head.

I embraced the spoilers for this movie, but I exercised enough restraint to leave the shrinkwrap on the soundtrack until I saw the movie. My favorite song is, far and away, Interrogation Song. I love fast & furious patter songs. Ask me about my Gilbert & Sullivan collection someday. After...

My answer to this is that Dominic and Constantine have no faith in the Muppets. They've just come back together, they failed to meet their telethon goal, they only got their happy ending last time by hiring a ton of extras and giving the Bad Guy head trauma. And now they've lost the one...

What he said.

I believe that was Nigel the conductor. The You Are My Sunshine monster from Hugga Wugga was one of the things Constantine offered Miss Piggy in I'll Get You What You Want (Cockatoo in Malibu).

I left work at lunch and saw a matinee today. The theater was half full, mostly of families with young kids. I brought my Skeeter puppet and talked with some of the kids before the show, and ended up posing for a few pictures with them. Working the theater crowd--I oughtta get paid. ;) I...

That comment could be taken to mean anything from "We're filming it as we speak!" to "We're looking into hiring a focus group to determine whether anyone still remembers what Fraggles are." Seriously, Brian ain't gonna shoot the franchise in the foot and say "We gave up on that and are focusing...

I had a visually-impaired roommate in college, and I learned a lot from her about how legally blind people perceive the world. As I was writing this chapter it hit me that it'd be cool to show a different perspective, especially since the "cutscenes" were described in an earlier chapter in...

Once in a Lifetime Part 14: Second Wind by Kim McFarland ***** The Muppet Theater's auditorium was rapidly filling, and the chatter of the audience filled the room with a soft murmur. It was the opening night of the first show of the new season. The die-hard fans in the area had bought their...

Why on earth would Disney pay to bring non-Disney puppets into their Disney production? Unless there's a compelling reason (see Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Wreck-It Ralph) they'll use characters they own and can merchandise the bejeezus out of.

I don't recall seeing this, but I can't imagine it hasn't been posted yet: Kreative Kids Parties - favors Scroll down to the middle of the page to find out what Muppet shrunken heads would look like. This is a commercial site rather than a fan artist's labor of love, so I feel justified in...
