Have I just never noticed that Jim had a picture on imdb, or is this new? I thought I remembered that Frank was the only muppeteer who had his photo up there. Is Jim new? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001345/ Another way of phrasing this question might read something like this: "Have you...

I was just thinking about how we, the members of this forum, are probably the only people on earth who know the names of all the Muppet performers and their characters. Basically I was just laughing at how much of a nerd I am and how proud I am of it -- because it's not a bad thing. Everybody...

He guys, There's a big part of my life that most people in my real life (whatever that means...) know about and I want to share with you, and wonder if any of you have the same problem. It all started when I got some genes from my mom -- I have a big anxiety disorder that has lately led me...

May 25, 1944 -- one of the greatest puppeteers to ever walk the globe was born. Now, after an illustrious puppetry, acting, and filming career, our admired Mr. Oz is turning 60 years old! So in return for his many blessings -- which include bringing life to Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and...

Has anyone ever heard of water puppetry? It's a type of puppetry unique to the Vietnamese and has its roots in the flooding of rice fields (Get it? Roots? Rice? 'Scuse the pun). Anyway, here's a link with some pics: http://www.vietscape.com/travel/hanoi/puppet.html Do a Google search...

For those of you who like the Andrew Lloyd Weber musical, looky what I found! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293508/

I have a great concept for a short song I want to combine with a cartoon, but I really haven't done too much 2D animation. I've made some kinda detailed flip books (in high school math books) and done some clay animation, but are there any computer programs out there that anyone knows about...

Hey guys, I don't know how recent this is, but I thought I'd display it here for anyone who hadn't seen it. Click on "Shorts" then click on "Puppet Thing": http://www.homestarrunner.com/toons.html Does anyone have any idea who built those puppets? They're pretty nice.

Hey guys! I did a search and couldn't see any evidence of this site being mentioned here before. It seems relatively new (it's re-vamped anyway) and maybe even better equipt than a Muppet fansite to answer a broad range of puppet questions (no offense to Phil's excellent site, obviously)...

Hey guys, I'm stuck at college here in Seattle and I'm pulling together a puppet troupe. Tomorrow we're having our second meeting and I'm incredibly excited. :excited: Eventually I plan to do some filming with the puppets but in the mean time I thought Seattle would be the perfect...

Hey, I'm working on an elderly female puppet and I need to know how Miss Piggy's hair (Or any Muppet with synthetic human hair) is attached. Her head seems too free and flexible for it to be a wig, 'cuz I've found that they're very heavy. I'm quite under-educated when it comes to using...

I thought it would be a fun idea to post pics of everyone's first attempt at making puppets. For those who've been building a while it might serve as encouragement to those who have not. If not at least it can conjure a few good laughs. Here's the first ever Scary Larry...

One thing I always seem paranoid about when creating a puppet is the lingering question of whether I will be able to re-create it after it wears out. I would really like some reassurance from any tips you guys have about recreating your puppets to look like their originals. Some of the horrors...

Helloooooooo! Giving prices for shows has always been a sore spot for me -- usually cause I don't know the employer's budget well enough to balance it with mine. So I thought I'd throw this question out to all of you who perform for payment: How do you go about charging? Do you have...

Heya, Just outa curiousity, I wondered... where's the strangest place you've ever performed a puppet show? This summer I did a show at a women's prison for a carnival they had for inmates children. I couldn't imagine anything odder, but I'm sure they're out there...

Hey guys! Check out this link I just found randomly: http://www.vatsaas.org/rtv/misc/GHS2002/bertrace/bertrace.aspx Ka-raaaaaaaazay! :( :)

Heya, Does anyone know where I can find a picture of Marvin Suggs' singing vegetables online? Thanks for your help!

Hey, I just decided to post this link to a huge free sound effects site for anyone else who's into editing video. I've found a lot of great little cartoonish accents that really accentuate my performances. www.sounddogs.com Hope you find this helpful. Not many people I know know about it...

Hey, I'm a freshman in college this year and I've got a general psychology class. The professor brought up the subject of phrenology, and I want to bring Fozzie's skit in to show him. Does anyone who's better at remembering complete episodes of TMS than I am know who was the guest star on that...

Heya! Does anyone have any info on how to get a copy of some "Sam and Friends" episodes? I've seen clips in various Henson biography films, but never an entire episode. --"Scary" Larry Wolf
