    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    Well, aside from "did you consider including (insert character not asked about in the interview)". I'd like to see Craig Shemin's original list of who to include. If more characters from The Jim Henson Hour were included (it's a shame they didn't ask why Jazques Roach or Anthony and Fern...

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    Although it had been online for the past few years (with some parts blocked in the US), here is the full "Muppet Revue".

    Disney gets sued by a toy company over Lotso Huggin' Bear

    Then Disney wouldn't have been involved. I'm pretty sure that only Henson would have been involved with approving the merchandise.

    Interview with Brian Henson at Entertainment Weekly

    Entertainment Weekly has posted an interview with Brian Henson. http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/04/15/henson-creature-shop-farscape-fraggle-rock-dinosaurs/ It's interesting how Brian thought that three movies where the Muppets play themselves was enough. Really??? Also interesting that he says...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    Well, today Tough Pigs posted part 3 of their interview with Craig Shemin, and they discussed this book. http://www.toughpigs.com/craig-shemin-part-3/ Just last week I was in a book store and decided to look a little in some of the other DK character encyclopedias, and noticed that those also...

    Disney gets sued by a toy company over Lotso Huggin' Bear

    Was the toy made before or after Disney got the rights (beyond just broadcasting the show) to Bear in the Big Blue House?

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    The Jim Henson Hour premiered on this day back in 1989. So to honor the 25th anniversary, Toughpigs is starting an article series reviewing each episode. I hope they complete it. http://www.toughpigs.com/my-weeks-with-the-jim-henson-hour-part-1/

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Ever notice how when a company or creator or whatever has three main franchises, the third seems to be less popular? Like with Seth MacFarlane's shows, Family Guy and American Dad have both on on the air the longest and remain on the air, while The Cleveland Show only had a few seasons and...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    It's interesting how in the Muppet Mindset interview with Craig Shemin, he said that he learned new things about certain characters. I wonder if he learned the new things through actual Henson Company files or from looking at Muppet Wiki. I'd be surprised if the book has any on-screen facts I...

    Muppets Most Wanted Blu-ray

    It'd be great if it came out in May, before my birthday, but it will probably come out a little later. Probably not going to happen, but it'd be cool if it could come with all the commercials the Muppets did during promotion. It'd be cool to have all those Toyota commercials on DVD.

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    You know, I was wondering what audiences generally thought of The Dark Knight Rises, whether it was a success or not. I haven't seen that one or The Dark Knight (mainly because I was so disappointed with Batman Begins).

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    There's a few things about the movie I've wanted to comment on since seeing the film but haven't. I'm surprised that the "Poopenburghen" conversation wasn't in any of the trailers. Especially when it seems like kids movies that don't have much bathroom humor end up having what few bathroom...

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    The third movie in a superhero movie franchise also seems to be unsuccessful, even when they are successful at the box office (but sales can be different from opinions). The third Superman and Batman movies were both in the top 5 at the box office for their respective years, but many fans seem...

    The Great Muppet Caper VS. Muppets Most Wanted

    Really? You mean the scene before Miss Piggy's first scene, the scenes with Nickey and Lady Holiday at the supper club, and the scenes with Nicky and the models planning and breaking in (which are intercut with Muppet scenes)?

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    I like the movie, but I like the first two better. I like the second film best, and the third one least. I don't think people hate it as much as it is almost everybody's least favorite in the trilogy. James Rolfe included it in a video on the top ten sequels that are not as bad as everybody...

    How The Muppet Movie paved the way for the Marvel Cinematic Universe

    That article lists Back to the Future among the '80s movies with a special credits or post-credits sequence, but none of the Back to the Future movies have special end credits at all.

    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    It's the only Jay Ward cartoon movie. Despite having CGI and animated sequences I consider Rocky and Bullwinkle to be a live-action movie.

    I Predicted the Future!

    I don't know about you, but since this commercial came out, nearly every time I went to the movies, I only saw the ad once. But last week when I saw Mr. Peabody and Sherman, I didn't see it at all (maybe I came in too late, maybe it played while I was in the restroom, dunno).

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I meant that the book said he chose not to be a director on The Muppet Show. I listed the wrong series. It's interesting how sales of Muppet merchandise helped fund bigger projects like The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, and kept the company in business when it was struggling. In fact it was...
