I agree completely, Fozzie. No contest, Muppets trounce Krofft any day of the week. Krofft will always pique my interest solely on the grounds of how weird and scary those puppets were. But even when the Muppets were at their scariest, it was always a fun kind of scary, and always endearing...

Thanks for pointing this out, Phillip. I'd been wondering if this sort of thing ever went on. Very interesting.

Man, I certainly hope that doesn't happen. I think Jim's stuff will always have more of a "legacy" behind it, so there's probably not too good a chance that Steve will overshadow him (though Steve does rule). After all, Jim sang "Rainbow Connection." Steve sang that one song from A Very Merry...

Thank you! I actually don't know anything about building a website, but I'm fortunate to have a friend who does (he built mine). I do know that freeservers.com allows people to build their own websites for free, plus shows them how to do it. I guess it's pretty basic and simple, and I know a lot...

Obviously with every possible pun intended, but color me green with envy!

I do remember the Little Shop cartoon. It was from 1991, and was produced by the same animation house that made Muppet Babies. It was a VERY loose interpretation of the original films, though. For one, Seymour, Audrey and Orin were all kids, and the story was set in modern day. The plant was...

I think it's so wonderful that someone so young has a desire to be a puppet builder! I was ten when I first had communication with Jim Henson, and it changed my life forever. Best of luck in your puppet building, and please post any photos you have of your work when you get them. I'm excited to...

I just posted these cartoons on my website. The first one pokes fun at the controversy surrounding the Pufnstuf character, while the second humorously relates my point about Kermit vs. Pufnstuf. Enjoy! http://www.jayfosgitt.com/LeftOvers/Sketchbook/SB24.html

What sort of material did you use to cover the Yoda and Jedi puppets? It's beautiful!

I have a two-part question that I'd appreciate anyone with a little info to try and answer: 1. Does anyone know if The Jim Henson Company ever sued or at least threatened legal action against any production or company for their puppets resembling the Muppets a little too closely (or for that...

I've been a part of these boards for over a year now, and have been a fan of this site since its inception. In that time, I've seen some really cool offerings by other fans (particularly Buck Beaver), and have been anxious to share some of my own. So that's what I'm doing with this thread...

Buck, I simply want to say that you seem like an extremely cool guy. Your puppets are remarkable, and you're doing a wonderful job. And just to interject my two cents, I actually liked your original Yoda puppet, since it looked more original and "puppety." But honestly, all your puppets are...

I can't disagree. The "Stitch" voice (for lack of a better term) is pretty universal amongst voice artists, and I've known plenty of average Joes off the street who can pull off a decent replica as well. I can do an okay version of it myself. So if I said the "Stitch" director was ripping off...

I guess we can at least take comfort in knowing that they like the Muppets at all, even if they have issues, albeit humorous ones, with one of the characters.

I just need to say something here. I was an early nay sayer to the Disney buyout of The Muppets, even back when Jim himself was involved in the negotiations. In recent days I've been inclined to ease up a little and appreciate that Disney has at least put the Muppets back in the spotlight to an...

Okay, is there something wrong that I, a thirty year old cartoonist, wouldn't think twice to buy myself, not my girlfriend but myself, two exquisite fairy dolls off E-Bay? No? Good. I'll be right back. I need to go rob a bank.

The thing I remember the most (besides the great clay animation) was that Christopher Cerf sang the theme song, and I always loved his singing.

Ditto to that. I LOVED Little Muppet Monsters back in the day. The main thing I recall about the girl monster was that she liked "Crunching things." As a kid that sort of personality quirk really appealed to me, especially since I liked crunching things, too. I'm also a HUGE comic book fan...

Hey, everyone's entitled to their opinions, and honestly, there's so many talented voice artists out there that it's really hard to just pick three. Billy West (Stimpy, Fry), for example, is quickly becoming a real giant in the field. As for Santa's Little Helper, The Simpson's people switch off...

I've seen this site and it's pretty cool. As to having anything to confirm Frank voicing the adult animated Muppets on Little Muppet Monsters, I regret that I have no evidence outside of my having repeatedly viewed the credits for the show and having seen that Frank did indeed do the voice. I've...
