I'll tell you my least favorite thing about Rocky and Bullwinkle Season I: That I paid forty bucks for it, then a month or so later FYE was selling it for five. Wadda kick in the teeth that was!

I think the article is all the confirmation you'll need. It sounds completely legit, though I can't say I relish the idea of the Manganation of DC, Labyrinth and Mirrormask. I'd rather see them written and drawn the way they were originally presented. But either way, it's gotta be good exposure...

I was just thinking that a good move on Brian Henson's part (and a step towards some more adult-oriented entertainment for the Henson company) might be to do a feature length movie based on the old Saturday Night Live Gorch Muppets. It could be a fantasy/comedy and have some adult humor. I'm not...

According to the book "Of Muppets and Men", Betsy Baytos was exclusively a dancer. However, her resume may have a lot more in it these days, since it's been 25 years since that book came out.

In an interview around the time of labyrinth's release, Jim had said that The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland were both direct influences in the creation of Labyrinth.

In an interview I read with Steve, he said that Jim mentioned to him that he'd always regretted that Steve hadn't been given a more prominent regular character on the show (meaning that Jim didn't feel that Rizzo was of the same caliber as Fozzie or Scooter), and wanted to meet with Steve to...

Y'know who I'd like to see host if Kermit retired? Bean Bunny. He's got the right mix of cute, calm and crazy, and could easily be the center of the Muppet Show storm if he needed to be. Plus it would give him some much deserved air time which he's been totally denied for so long. I love that...

I've always loved Fizzgig. I loved how deceptively simple his design was, yet how realistic his appearance was in the film, thanks to the animatronic wizardry of the Creatrure Shop (and a huge tilt of the hat to designer Brian Froud and effects genius Lyle Conway). I also found it interesting...

I was in Barnes & Noble last night and saw a beautiful book on Mirrormask that had tons of glossy photos, storyboards and a complete script for the film. I still have no idea when the movie will be released or what form it will be in, but this book gives me a lot of hope.

I had just come home from school (I was in the ninth grade at the time), and my mom dropped the bomb on me that Jim was gone. I was too stunned for words or emotion. I just sort of froze. In fact, I don't think my shock ever really allowed me to properly grieve at all. I guess I made up for it...

Fozzie Bear and Vic Romano are also on my list.

HPDJ, you're on my list. You seem like a nice guy with some good questions and ideas.

Just thought it might be interesting to find out what you guys' user names mean. I realize that a lot of them are Muppet-based, so those are pretty obvious, but some are really unique, and I know I'd be interested to hear their origins. As for me, I chose Lowercasegods because a few years ago...

My favorite Sesame Street cartoon was Teeny Little Superguy, the little cartoon fella who was on the side of the plastic cup, and his whole world revolved around other kitchen items with characters on them. So much fun, and such innovative animation!

To Movies205: Okay, first off, I never "degraded" your love of puppetry. I never even suggested any feelings you may have regarding puppetry, so get down off your high horse before you fall and break your neck. Your accusation is baseless and invalid. Secondly, the fanbase, or more...

Look, it's just how I feel about it. I'm not asking anyone to agree with me, and I'm not about to get into any arguments about the merits of CGI or its place in the future of special effects. However, I take offense to the whole "puppetry isn't perfect" thing. Do you even realize what board...

I'm afraid I'm of a mind that dictates: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Dark Crystal was as perfect as it could get, and no sequel can top it, compare to it or even remotely improve upon it, especially not one that's going to allow CGI effects. If a sequel had to be made, they should go back to...

Actually, for the close-up head shots, they were puppeteered, but for the far away, full body shots, the heads were in fact radio controlled. And as for how they made the pedals work, I believe that on most bikes, if you were to just walk the bike along a road, the chain naturally rotates the...

Sure it was an idea, but don't defeat yourself and say it was stupid. It was a good suggestion, regardless if other people liked it or not.
