I've also been confused by the fact that people say this recent film stayed true to the characters. I found Kermit to be a very sad characterization in this recent film, almost pathetic. That's NOT the Kermit we know and love. Even him living in a mansion is out of character. Our little Kermit...

You're entitled to your opinion, Duke. I'm glad you liked the film. I enjoyed it too, but it was not the same Muppets that I grew up with. I'm assuming you're younger and grew up with an even different Muppet era than myself which is fine. But I don't think Frank was being mean spirited. He was...

I kind of agree with Frank Oz. I LIKED the movie, a lot, but I didn't LOVE it and it was not a representation of the Muppets that I and others in my generation grew up with. It was a safe, Disney-fied, Hollywood version of the Muppets. It wasn't the fun, outrageous, campy Muppets we've seen in...

That's how they're spinning that, huh?

I had never heard of Chick Fil-A before until this whole Henson thing, because I haven't seen any in the tri-state NYC area where I live. Yet I was traveling to and from Virginia this weekend and saw plenty of them. I'm very proud of the Jim Henson Company for not doing business with this...

One thing I was thinking about, as really nice as it would be to have this convention in Jim's hometown and much cheaper than a major city, like Ceris said, does Greenville have the accommodations to host such an event? You have to take into consideration people will be coming from possibly all...

I don't have anything negative to say about The Muppet Movie. It's one of the earliest films I saw as a child, it's the first Muppet film I saw, and I've loved it ever since. The Never Before sequence I think is a little slow and while Frank's/Piggy's singing is rough, I think it's meant to be...

Hi, Connie: I did and I will be passing it along when I get home tonight. Wedding is this Fall, so it hasn't happened yet, but thank you and I hope your son's wedding turns out beautifully! The only thing is, the sheet music is for piano, I'm not sure if there's a difference in reading music for...

HMV is a huge entertainment chain around the world. More about them can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMV_Group

I was just walking through the Times Square area yesterday on my lunchbreak, and they had Elmo and a 4th of July Mickey and Minnie Mouse walking around. They're just out to make money for the most part. They carry little sacks with them and charge $10 a picture but like Heralde said, try to...

I agree with all of the above, Dr. Tooth

No, there is nothing Muppet at the old townhouse anymore. It's no longer owned by the Henson company. Everything has been moved out and relocated to their other offices from what I've heard. And as far as the benches in NYC, there's one for Jim and Jon Stone in Central Park.

Both the old Henson offices and workshop in NYC are no longer open. The old townhouse office building like someone here already said is being renovated and now owned by someone else. The old workshop on E. 67th and 3rd Ave. is also not around anymore. The most you'll see is concrete prints of...

If you're talking about the old Henson Company workshop in NYC, no you can't go inside, unfortunately.

I think is where it all went wrong: when these bigger industries started to get "scared" by these groups and caving to their purpose. Again, I don't disagree with some of them and their concerns. But like every group, there's always the more over obsessed who make it about themselves or just...

I think a wax figure of Jim Henson would be way cooler than just seeing recreations of the characters there. I think the problem with Madame Tussaud's, is that it's gone from focusing too much on current celebrities than historical figures or really famous people from our past. I went to the one...

I agree, we do need certain things in place, but I can't remember now if it was you or someone else who posted earlier in this thread, there's this coddling going on with kids, but just in general. You're right, Offendophobia. Everyone's afraid to say anything to anyone these days and I just...

LOL Don't worry I haven't gone Bridezilla on anyone.....yet ;)

Well said, MrBloogar. Well said...

I agree with you, Pinkflower. There's a LOT of PC nonsense that goes on in every form of media and entertainment today. I was disgusted to hear that Sesame Workshop decided against airing the footage with Elmo and Katy Perry just because a few whiny parents out there felt their kids couldn't...
