"Tale of the Bunny Picnic", "Hey Cinderella!", and "The Frog Prince" are owned by Disney, HIT can not release them ;)

Tales from Tinkerdee (Pilot) - 22 mins. The Muppets shot this in Atlanta in the summer of 1962. Tales of the Tinkerdee features Kermit as a lute-playing narrator in the fairy tale kingdom of Tinkerdee. Filled with rhymes and puns, the pilot also featured Tamanilla Grinderfall and King Gosh Posh...

Who exactly is there. I would expect Jerry Nelson , Seve Whitmire, Dave Goelz, and Karen Prell (Too bad Kathy Mullen wasn't there.) Anyone else? Jerry Juhl, Gerry Parkes, Cheryl Wagner, any Hensons?

There is a very small handful of Henson projects that I (and I would assume others) know little about - mainly the older "hidden gems", rare pilots, and other stuff. I was looking though some articles today and read that in 1965 Jim taped a pilot called "Hey Cinderella!" -- this is not "The...

HIT Entertainment and Best Buy. E-mail either one's customer service and they will tell you that the bonus CD is exclusive only to Best Buy, no where else will have it. Here is what HIT says when you ask them about it:"Thank you for contacting us. Best Buy will be offering the Fraggle Rock...

Bonus CD at "Best Buy" only! In June it was reported that the "Fraggle Rock - Complete First Season" DVD box set would come with a bonus CD-ROM full of all kinds of Fraggle fun. However since this was originally announced, HIT Entertainment has decided to offer this only as a special store...

Movin' on up As of 4:00pm on August 24th, "Fraggle Rock: Complete First Season" ranks at #43 and is climbing. I'm sure by September 6th (when it actually is released) it will be much higher! "The Muppet Show - Season 1" is sinking now (ranking in at #10 now), but remember it was #1 during the...

Many of you were distraught yesterday to hear that the official Disney press release about the upcoming Muppet DVDs stated that the films would be released in pan-and-scan only. And until just a few hours ago, even Disney constumer service said only full frame would be included. After hearing...

There will be a few bonus features sprinkled on the discs, check this link for the details: http://muppetnewsflash.blogspot.com/2005/08/early-muppet-special-edition-specs.html

I strongly urge everyone to call or write about this. If sales are low (due to the lack widescreen and/or features) Disney may just think that Muppet DVDs don't sell and no one really cares about the Muppets. But if sales are low and there is a stack of letters, e-mails and phone calls that...

Actually before you reach 1,221 it'll become a palindrome (something that is the same forwards as backwards) at 1,111 (that's 110 less than 1,221). So only 110 more posts untill you palindrome again. ;) Not that that matters...

It is official now, the official Disney press release is out and it has the bad news: Disney has announced the details of November's (previously) much-anticipated Muppet movie DVD reissues and their press release states that they decided to cut 30%-50% of the film out of the DVD versions...

It is official...the movies are cropped Disney has announced the details of November's (previously) much-anticipated Muppet movie DVD reissues and if their official press release is accurate, they decided to cut 30%-50% of the film out of the DVD versions. That's right, the "fully remastered...

Although most of the features have been locked-in and announced (look here: http://muppetnewsflash.blogspot.com/2005/08/early-muppet-special-edition-specs.html), there are some other small things I think would be nice to have included - however at this point I don't know how likely that will be...

I have e-mailed Disney and have gotten both sides of the story. DisneyDirect e-mail customer support said they will be Fullscreen; and whereas the DisneyDVD support e-mail told me they would be widescreen; and Disney consumer service phone hotline said this information was not released or final...

I would say the feet go first, but then remembering Kermit's "Happy Feet" tap dance routine (and all his other dancing) makes me want to say tounge. But after seeing Kermit snag Horace with his big ol' tounge on his way back to the swamp at the start of "Kermit's Swamp Year" makes me want to...
