It's no secret I'm not a fan of the majority of computer generated kid films that flood the markets in any particular year. I was big on the original wave of them in the 90's but now it just seems beyond saturation...virtually all of them using the same template of *insert talking...

I've now managed to track down all of the Disney parks Muppet Star Wars figures, which fit peerfectly into my other 3 3/4-4" scale. Hate me, but I prefer these scale and texture way more than the Palisades line(yes I know some of the sculpts are based on the Palisades sculpts) My only...

Time after time it seems like Sesame Street is always this cultural lightning rod for water cool controversy helped stirred up by the media. The latest is the new yorker cover. Before that it was the "muppet whose parents are in jail" and the fall out of Kevin Clash. Before that it was Big Bird...

Coming soon to movie theaters is Disney's spinoff/sidequel to Cars...only instead of Nascar, it's military war planes. I think even Droney the Predator Drone makes a cameo. Find out what war planes do after a busy day of blowing up innocent African and Middle Eastern villages!

Yeah I just don't get it. Not a single Muppet item at any Disney mall store, not even for the holiday season unless there happened to be a leftover plush from 2011. Not a single Muppet thing in Disney stores now. Nothing Muppety wise shown at Toy Fair 2013 save for a few tiny cheap items you'd...

I had forgotten how captivating and wonderful Spinney's illustrations were. It reminds me of some of my favorite Sesame Street illustrated books from the 1970's and 80's. Just wondering if he's done a book of these or where one could find more of these? From the new Life magazine, hattip to...

We were told "don't worry about the lack of Muppet merchandise for the movie, Disney is just waiting to see if the public was interested in the movie. So dont worry, wait til next year" Well, the public loved it. It was a big success. And whelp, here we are a year later. Let's see, nothing at...

It was about 14 years ago this week that I finally joined the Muppet Central forums (the old delphi) I think there's a few people on here who were in diapers when I first joined:) But instead of wishing certain people had come back or longing for the old days (when you could chat in real time...

haha, too classic "I just love the stark modernism of this room" <-- love that!

I think there's enough information now to warrant an official Muppet Europe/Muppet Caper 2.0/Muppets Take United Kingdom 2013 thread. We know the film is an homage of sorts to the Great Muppet Caper, will largely be filmed in England, involve Interpol investigations, Russian femme fetales, and...

I swear I thought this was an SNL or Onion spoof. But no, it's real and it's official.

I love (good) kickstarter projects, and I can't get enough of Sesame related documentaries(Being Elmo, World According to Sesame Street, When Muppets Dream of Peace)...So it goes without saying I am wildly enthusiastic about "I Am Big Bird". but I found it odd that Sesame Workshop would allow...

Just a quick little cheap animated spoof I made today. Voices/animation by me:) Many unanswered questions swirl around the nursery...

I know some of you have defended the toy industry, but it's just gotten Onion.com level of ridiculous. $10 for dinky star wars and spiderman toys? Have you guys seen the Dark Knight Rises Batman figures? They're using dollar store cheapo toxic garbage style figures and charging $12. In the last...

Just wondering who else was severely disappointed by Ridley Scott's Alien saga followup "Prometheus". To list all the issues I had with the film would be numerous(cheesey misplaced score, characters I didnt care for, bad pacing, truncated sequences) but curious what anyone else thought of it...

Myself, and especially Dr Tooth have lamented at length about toys that are too pricey, or hard to find. Or Chinese sweat shops, etc. But soon you'll be able to print out any toy you want, fully painted indistinguishable from the store version...

I've not been the biggest Disney fan per se, but my goodness, they just shot up a zillion points with me regarding a new video by them. In the wake of North Carolina's vote to ban gay rights and the uproar over Obama supporting gay marriage, the biggest brand name on the planet has decided to...

Saw it with my own eyes, couldnt believe I was witnessing Wembley and Uncle Matt for the first time in over a decade. Does this signify something significant in the long exhaustive wait for new Fraggle anything? (viral videos, shorts, the movie, etc)

Hot on the heels of the ninja turtles, robocop, akira and back to the future remake news comes this... Ha, ok I made that as a late april fools joke. But seriously, it seems like the gloves are off and absolutely *anything* is being remade, rebooted, etc. Even that Battleship movies looks...

Im flying up to NYC for the Muppet/Sesame Carnegie hall performance in a week, and staying for a week in NYC/Queens/Brooklyn/etc. Any suggestions of stuff to check out or visit, or experience? Only thing so far is the Museum of Modern Art, Time Square(FAO!), and Central Park.
