To me Muppet Babies is one of the greatest modern Jim Henson things, and one of the best tv cartoon of all time. And while I am not fond of the ultra cheap cg used on stuff like Mickey's Club and other Disney Jr shows, I am incredibly excited about the return of Muppet Babies in CG form for a...

Anyone who knows me, knows I am generally not the biggest fan of not just most talking animal cg kids films, but most cg kids films in general. Pixar feels hit or miss for me, I haven't bothered to see a Dreamworks film since Monsters vs Aliens. But the moment I saw concept art for Disney's...

Just saw the hilarious spoof of "Birdman" featuring Carroll and Big Bird, and now I just watched the newest episode of Portlandia and Oscar the Grouch is in one of the skits, as himself. Totally out of the blue.

With both the huge Star Wars Disney Celebration in may, new Star Wars film and 60th annv of both the Muppets and Disneyland...any chance you think of a new SW Muppet line? I feel the SW Muppets are one of the best Muppet merchandise things of the last decade...but would love to see Statler and...

Just wondering if anyone has a theory why, after TEN years Disney still refuses to release Muppet works on the home market? Heck, between 2009 and 2010 Lionsgate films released way more Muppet/Henson related dvds than Disney has in a decade. Disney just keeps re-releasing the same movies(Muppet...

Earlier in the year I penned a thread called "Disney is Doing everything Right". Well...as we head into the SIXTY year anniversary of the Muppets, it now feels like we're back to square one. - As we head into the holiday retail season, despite two newer Muppet films there will be virtually no...

Selling a lot of hard to find/rare Muppet Show and Sesame Street figures/figurines and plushes http://www.ebay.com/itm/171325122321?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I can't help it...I know I made the same thread in 2011...and I know the Disney store has a little Muppet corner tucked into the back corner of the store...but am I the only one who feels we really haven't seen much in the way of merch? Especially in the wake of a zillion dollars used for...

Yes, it's no secret I have very little respect for the modern toy industry, but let's examine the worst of the modern blunders. 1. $10-$12 for increasingly dinky, frail 3 3/4 figures. This trend started in 2009 with Avatar, which kicked off the tiny figures for $11 MSRP. Marvel of course has...

I've been watching the Muppets and Jim Henson related programming for over 30 years now, but is it me or are the Muppets just funnier in the modern era? Maybe it's a mixture of now understanding the subtle and not so subtle adult or deeper humor of the old productions, but I also mean in the...

I'm surprised more hasn't been made of this, but to me one of the biggest surprises of Muppets Most Wanted is that essentially, Constantine is spoofing the TWO BIGGEST annoying tropes by less than casual fans: 1. The average person conflating the Muppet Show with Sesame Street 2. The average...

Hat tip to Drtooth, tho I think this deserves an official moment of silence to pay our respects to a completely ruined franchise. If you want to remember the Ninja Turtles as an amazing black and white comic, a wildly entertaining 80s kids cartoon, a pretty well done early 2000s kids cartoon...

Just wanted to say how utterly proud I am. I've come to realize that a lot of the 90's and 2000's Muppet fans are now themselves working in official capacity for The Muppets proper, Sesame Workshop, the Jim Henson Company/Creatureshop or in another puppet related capacity. From the people who...

60 years. 40 years removed from a century. Next year marks the incredible sixty year anniversary of The Muppets and Jim and Jane Henson's vision. This is so incredible to me. Ten years ago the Muppets were, despite a great merchandise presence, languishing in relative obscurity and development...

I still don't get it...it's almost like when Germany was divided into East and West Germany. Why can't Sesame Street characters cameo in new Muppet films? For all this talk of "bringing the Muppet films back to the old school", there missing one of the most charming fun aspects: SESAME CAMEOS...

I cannot sing the praises enough of the Disney Muppet Star Wars action figures(despite the price points), but I don't get why they not just stopped the line...but, why they aren't making a regular TMS or Muppets Most Wanted line in that same scale? We got a lot of figures in the Palisades line...

You know, 16 years on this forum, I am so proud of our beloved Muppets. A testament to Disney...but my goodness. The countless Super Bowl/online exclusive Muppet spots(including the 4 part traffic jam skits and beautiful day monster ad), the restrained sneak peaks, the Muppet merch we've been...

Ever since the early 80's I always felt Lefty seemed like he was suppose to be a spoof or archtype of a drug dealer; especially since Sesame Street was modeled after New York's inner city/ghetto.

With The Simpsons retiring Mrs Krabauple with the passing of the actress who performs her, it warms my heart to know that with the Muppets the show can still go on. Now I had read about and can't wait to see what I hear is a beautiful tribute to Jerry Nelson. And thankfully, it seems the Count...

15 years on Muppet Central, and I've never seen the Muppets get as much hype, backing and visibility in that time as they had with the 2011 movie and push. And now with the upcoming movie in a few months. Yet, for some reason it feels like the enthusiasm, new membership, posting, etc seems nil...
