Jim Henson Idea Man
Remember the life. Honor the legacy. Inspire your soul. The new Jim Henson documentary "Idea Man" is now streaming exclusively on Disney+.
Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
That stuff sounds easy to believe, and frightening if so, but let's face it: what have the Muppets actually done in the last year?
Outside Lands
Thanksgiving Parade
MasterChef Junior
That cooking spray and Xfinity ads, I guess
and then a bunch of short videos of the Muppets reciting tweets
The...
Hopefully, it won't end up like Wabbit - try as they might, that show is dull. Literally, the somehow managed to make the idea of Bugs Bunny vs. DEATH HIMSELF totally lame.
If does actually get made, I hope the animation is also top-tier. None of this crappy Flash like The Tom & Jerry Show has...
Pretty interesting for the main concept of having Ovejita out on her own. Nice to see Big Bird and his frozen yo-yo. Also: "Abby Cadabby, permeant IT."
I'm gonna call slight bull on the use of that Crumby Pictures segment; opposite is one small part of it.
And they pulled a letter of the day...
That sort of bothered me too. I understand part of the changes they made was to better cement the Muppets with certain locals, so if they're trying to make the changes memorable, it's gonna stick out when the street looks different.
Here's a neat presentation from TIFF 2017 about how they get the films and animations done nowadays, with some insight into the new format:
They also give a little info on the next season:
A new Cookie Monster segment (yeah, ANOTHER!) about where food comes from
The focus is on diversity...
If Netflix was not a viable platform, they wouldn't be creating original content.
This is what's "in" right now. JHC is making a smart move here.
And stuff on Netflix finds its way to getting onto DVD eventually.
Actors and performers are very "in the moment" and probably don't retain that kind of stuff very often. I recall an interview with Marty where it called it "garbage memory"; they shoot so much stuff that it often just goes straight out of their heads. Lauren Gharam's book mentions something like...
It was well paced in some places, but in the middle there, it was just "Is this a home? No. BOOM Onto the next one!" But, it was pretty funny and I like seeing Jen get a lead role.
I certainly wasn't expecting to see the House of Cards spoof, but they've been surprising me sometimes. When I...
He's done a number of those types of things for the "Best Of" DVDs. They had Bum Reviews of each of the anniversary movies (or most of them), and did NC reviews of them as he was stuck in the Plot Hole.
Does Doug have any input in the company though? He may be just a content creator. I thought they collaborated with CA to start getting their content in a better place.
That "C is for Counting" toon, while expertly animated, is a solid example of why I don't like this format. It's a letter segment, but it's teaching counting instead. I know some segments in the past have had dual lessons, but this one makes no sense to me. They started off with a C word, cats...
