The Ninja Turtle Movies were the work of the Jim Henson Creature Shop, so I think they are fair game for Henson discussion. I would assume any talk of them would have to go in the "Fantasy Worlds" section (as that's where most Creature Shop discussion is), but not 100% sure, you may want to...

Actually it's "Muppet Worlds" where all the Dinosarus conversations are. http://forum.muppetcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=13 "Fantasy Worlds" is more for the Creature Shop fantasy and "realistic" puppet productions (These include Dark Crystal, Labrynth, Witches, Buddy, The Storyteller...

From what I've read they are not Muppets - in the way that they were part of the "Muppets" deal with disney) they were Muppets in the same way that The Fraggles and Sesame characters are sometimes called Muppets. I also think that the NBC-Universial (Saturday Night Live) people own the rights to...

The short answer is: It is in England. The long answer is: Historically, the name "Elstree Studios" refers to any of several film studios that were based in the town of Elstree and Borehamwood in Hertfordshire, England. Most of these studios have now closed, and the phrase is now the...

R2 means region 2; meaning this DVD will only play in DVD players that are region 2 (DVD players in Europe, Japan, South Africa, Egypt, and Middle East). For American and Canadian DVD players to play a DVD they must be region 1 (R1). Motion picture studios want to be able to control the home...

Check out this thread: http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=2222 On November 18, 1985, everyone on Sesame Street finally saw Aloysius Snuffleupagus (AKA Snuff). For many years, Big Bird was the only character on the show who saw him (he only came along when Big Bird was alone...

Where it All Began - 3 Episodes and 1 Animated Episode Dance Your Cares Away - 4 Episodes (3 regular and 1 "hidden" bonus) and 1 Animated Episode Total = 7 Episodes and 2 Animated Episodes

I don't consider Yoda a Muppet, just like I don't consider Jen and Kira (or the others) from The Dark Crystal, or Hoggle and Ludo (and others) from Labyrinth as Muppets. Just cause he's a puppet done by Frank (or Jim, or Jerry, or Dave, or Richard, or Steve, or Brian, or Bill, or Kevin, or any...

I e-mailed HIT! customer relations asking what to expect on the upcoming DVD, they had this to say: "...At this time, information on the episodes/special features for the April 26 release, Live By The Rule of the Rock, is not available. However, more information on this title should be posted...

Look at some of the earlier-Jim as Kermit works. Watch the old Ed Sullivan clips, Hey Cinderella, The Frog Prince, or the early Sesame Street skits; then watch some of the mid-Jim as Kermit works like The Muppet Show, The Muppet Movie, and The Great Muppet Caper. Then watch the later-Jim as...

Well The Jim Henson Company and Disney are still working together and are on very "friendly" terms, so it is possible (profits would have to be split, contracts delt with, and whatnot); it could be done if they thought it would sell, but it is unlikely for a compleate unedited collection of the...

It might not be the same fraggle-5, 3 gorgs, Human and dog returning in any new Fraggle productions. It could be new characters in the same world. It would not be the same without Jerry (Gobo, Pa Gorg), Richard (Junior Gorg), and well the only human - Doc reprising their roles, but they could...

Awesome news! I hope Brian's quote is true and we can see the fraggles back in action. We talked about some new Fraggle production possibilities based on the facts that it's been a long time since the fraggles were last seen and things have changed "behind the scenes" and such. Check it out...

Let me start by saying I goofed; Disney did buy Great Muppet Caper; they did not buy Muppets take Manhattan. I got the two mixed. But anyway.. MTM and MFS are partial Disney and partial Columbia Tri-Star. KSY is CTHE. IAVMMC is NBC-Universial. I guess when it came down to it, it was a issue of...

Yea Henson had stakes in the productions and the characters in them, but Disney owned the actual production (that's why the DVDs were under the Disney name), it is a very complicated to understand all the legal ins and outs of the ownership. While Kermit and the gang are owned by Disney not...

Disney already owned Christmas Carol and Treasure Island; when the Henson deal took place they bought The Muppet Movie and Muppets Take Manhattan; they only have partial stakes in the other 2. They most likly will buy the productions flat out some time in the future, but they were not part of...

Disney does not own all the segments from the Jim Henson Hour. Many were retained by Henson and some now shared with HIT! The show really got hacked up in the deal. Just becuase Kermit and the gang do show up in the special does not mean Disney has control over it. Sesame Workshop does not have...

The Gonzo game is pretty simple; but pretty fun :concern:

I would have to agree with them. Although the show is awesome, the DVDs were not the best possible. HIT! could have done a better job. (Not merging episodes, adding subtitles, lanuage selection, more/new bonus material, animated menus, more episodes) For a hard-core Fraggle Fan the DVDs were...

As far as I know the band was based off many rockers of the time and the band in a mix of all of them. More specificly here are the known influences for the characters. Mainly they are mixtures of many rockers and current rock stereotypes. Dr. Teeth - based off of Dr. John. Animal - based...
