i think a lot of this thread was moved over to the absurd Bert & Ernie petition page. My thoughts on the subject are that their relationship should remain ambigous and in time gay people could be represented in the human cast without making a big deal about it just as Sesame successfully...

meh. It was cool to see some Muppet love and OK Go has been one of my favorite groups since their album, but I have to admit that this appearance was weak. I cringed at Animal's "rock and roll" line just as I did in his hammy "mama" routine in that Queen tribute a while back. I usually enjoy...

I love Pepe and always have since his debut. I've never gotten tired of Pepe even though he was over-exposed for a while. It seemed that mainly Bill and Steve were on-call for Muppeting so Pepe and Kermit became the most visible characters. Let's not fault the prawn or frog for rising to the...

If they were to release a sequel to this album, I'd like to see a track listing something like this: Hey A Movie (a great way to start it up) Simon Smith and His Amazing Dancing Bear (classic show bit) Can You Picture That (a no-brainer Mayhem inclusion) Six String Orchestra (a popular show...

YES, BIG MEAN CARL!

I think this a fantastic and eclectic assortment of bands that seemed very interested in making Muppets music. OK Go has been one of my favorite bands for like 7 years now. I find They Might Be Giants and Barenaked Ladies to be too on-the-nose for a project like this. I'd actually find their...

I guess that's because adults are usually viewed as grouchy and responsible. I think the ideal grown up should be equal parts of both Bert and Ernie in the right context.

The movie could help serve to open up character assortment in new products like the wide Vinylmation variety of Muppet inclusions!

Welcome! It's good to know that Studio DC inspired new fans. There's lots of great stuff to check out in the Muppet archives until the movie comes out.

Did anybody notice this? This is the FIRST TIME EVER Uncle Deadly's bare toes and tail have been shown in puppet form to my knowledge. The team of us who made the action figure pieced his head-to-toe look together from bits and scraps including a variety of storybook illustrations until...

I have heard that there are some unknown Muppet product items waiting for release. I think Disney could be playing it safe by letting it trickle out after the Muppets box office receipts. However, the secondary market and Ebay are going to explode if Disney doesn't have enough Muppet merch after...

I agree with your Foo Fighter comment. I wouldn't say my taste skews to "girly sounding", just eclectic. Most the time my mp3 player is filled with Rancid and Ramones as a base for everything else. Green Album is a bit too mellow, but I still do like it a lot. It has a flow. I know it's being...

Downloaded the album at midnight and I love it! I love ok go, the drum solo in Night Life (because it's actually in the song to begin with) and most of the other interpretations. This album might have an indie and sometimes emo vibe, but it is not anything Hot Topic related. Love the album or...

I wondered how they could shoot such an epic video so fast. It worked perfectly. This is exactly what a Muppet music video is supposed to be like. It's the performers and stars messing around with Muppets in a very loose template, unlike other well-intentioned, but over-produced pieces they've...

Is this a rhetorical question or do you really desire an answer? I guess everyone has their faves. I've been a Muppet fan since the show originally aired. 1979's Muppet Movie was the first film I ever saw in theaters. I'm a die-hard fan who not only loves Pepe - I believe him to be the...

I just read the two reviews on Aint It Cool News and they do contain several spoilers so I'm probably gonna stop looking now. The word is that the movie is filled with Muppets, that there are some great musical numbers, there's classic rapid-fire humor throughout the film, it's not too...

Danny from Tough Pigs just reported that the merch push starts 6 weeks before the film. That means October 12th. Or 11th, I guess for the books.

This screening was obviously a rough-cut. There could be one liners that need to be looped and some of the cut scenes could be sliced into the credits. You never know. I do believe they'll do something special for the closing credits.

Well, hey. Rowlf, Kermit and Piggy were there. That's something. Brian Henson will be in SF tomorrow along with Dave Goelz and Karen Prell so I'm not sure how much more Muppeting will go on this Saturday at D23. I think Bill is heading down for the Stuffed and Unstrung here too. They'll still...

What would you say the core characters are that get the most screentime? Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter, Rowlf, Animal, Bunsen, Beaker, Sam, Floyd, Dr. Teeth, Janice, Zoot, Sweetums, Statler, Waldorf, Pepe, Rizzo, Crazy Harry, Robin, Lew...
