The Fraggle Rock 26th anniversary celebration menu is up on the main page of Muppet Central. :coy: :smirk: :excited: I remember growing up in a household without cable television and had to catch whatever episodes were available when visiting my grandparents' house in Baltimore. They were...

What is your pick for favorite theatrical motion picture for 2008 and why? My pick: The Dark Knight Forget the Batman element for a minute; this picture was robust in so many different ways from the stellar performances to the masterful storytelling. No film came close to its quality in my...

I know there have been mixed feelings about Muppets From Space (my main gripe being that they never actually went to space) but I had an idea rattling around in my head for a Muppet film (after the Segel one, of course). It both incorporates the sci-fi genre while drawing from the Muppets'...

I just saw the underwhelming version of Gonzo drawn by new Muppet comic book artist Langridge reported on the Muppet Newsflash. (Click here, he's in the O) I wanted to see how many artists here would interpret the character. Please feel free to post drawings past and present and even puppets...

I posted this in the save Fozzie thread, but it "bears" repeating. :o :) For two days only my Gonzo poser will be prominently placed in a local specialty toy store in downtown San Francisco. I have recently been filling in for a freelance client and actually work the store on Sundays and...

Yep, that's right. There's a Great Muppet Caper T-shirt at Urban Outfitters right now! I spotted it last night while shopping with my fella and bought it. It is the classic picture of Gonzo, Kermit, Fozzie and Miss Piggy on the motorcycle crashing through the paper. The movie title is in its...

Around the web it appears that people have many opinions about the projects coming out of the Jim Henson Company. There's the good - Fraggle Rock movie, Puppet Up, Emmet Otter stage musical and a proposed Dark Crystal sequel, the relatively new - Sid the Science Kid, Pajanamals and the Scrumps...

I felt like a new thread should be devoted to this since the topic was changing from the Dark Knight to Nolan's third installment of his Batman films. The working title appears to be "The Caped Crusader". First, it appears director Christopher Nolan is back. There were concerns that he would...

It will be a long while before tackling such a task, but recently I was inspired to create a collection of origin stories for Gonzo and assemble the conflicting tales in a comic book. As a fan I took issue with the Gonzo alien idea of Muppets From Space. In Juhl's original treatment of the film...

I just heard about an alternate version of Frank Oz' Stepford Wives that sounds better than the incongruent mess that was released theatrically. Does anybody have any details about this? I heard the ending was darker and the plotline made more sense. I’m thinking this was the film Frank wanted...

:o First off I must report having great respect for emergency services that risk their lives to keep us safe. I fully support the fire departments and the men and women who have chosen this heroic occupation. We have seen their great works in Manhattan, New Orleans and many other areas that are...

I have been looking forward to this film for a while. I wonder how it will stack up compared to Corpse Bride and Nightmare Before Christmas? :flirt: The Clips: Exlusive RT clip of the film and a YouTube Teaser Trailer. The Pitch: A high-definition stop-motion animated feature – the...

:coy: Wow. This reel is impressive! I hadn't seen it before. Scroll to the bottom of the screen. http://www.creatureshop.com/ :scary:

Much has been said about Frank Oz' estrangement from the Muppets in recent years. Even though I would like to see him in some sort of production capacity, I fully respect and understand his choices. This is a blurb that touches on just a bit of his Muppety and film accomplishments over the...

:search:For what it's worth I found the listings for theatrical Muppet/Henson film domestic (US) box office grosses. Of course they are not adjusted for inflation or ticket prices. Some kind of surprised me. I still believe a movie's worth comes from the individual viewer, but this is...

:super: Director of Pan's Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro returns to helm Hellboy 2. The original film was the only contender to knock Mel Gibson's Passion off the number one spot back in 2004. I appreciate the irony in that, but people get the wrong idea about the Hellboy character. He's a...

My partner and I saw the new Will Smith, Jason Bateman, Charlize Theron movie "Hancock" this afternoon even after being warned by critical consensus to stay away. I have to admit to listening to critics, while not reacting to them. We were both pleasantly surprised. Yes, the film is a mess of...

Since I didn't see an official thread for the film and it's coming out this weekend I decided to start one. This thread is for anything and everything to do with “Wall-E” and its place in Pixar history, I suppose. I will make a bold prediction that the film will open at 70M this weekend...

Seeing that the new Muppet film will likely include the traditional movie star cameos I was wondering who forum members would choose and who'd they like to skip, of course. All top stars would lend credibility in very brief cameos, but not all top stars would be my personal choice. :halo...

What the hey? http://www.fabulousinflatables.com/licensed-characters.html :halo: This site offers a variety of character parade balloons including Muppets. This site features Kermit (ok, but not the Macy's parade one), Miss Piggy (not flattering one I've never seen before), Animal (a...
