Spectacular. I like this better than most of the post-80s puppets they've used. You picked just the right mix. The fabric, the texturing, the colors, the ratios are all spot-on. Even the eye focus is better than the puppets used in Letters to Santa. These should be in Disney's character bible...

I agree. I just know there's a market for Fraggles beyond preschoolers, Hot Topic or high priced gimmicky vinyl. They really should strike a deal to air the episodes again. Maybe that’s going to happen too. The Fraggle reruns should have a home on Nick. If that happened stores might be more...

You're right. Jim died two months after the first Turtles film. The dedication was in two. The second film was only one year after the first. I read that article. It's a shame. It is things like that that confirm to me that Disney's current direction is much better than under Henson...

Hey, tossing a walkytalky at someone would really, really...hurt. :p

The characters looked like dancing corpses to me. I always refer to Polar Express as the Christmas zombie movie. :eek: I forget the term, but there is one for when computer generated models took so close to real, yet miss a few key details thus rendering them creepy and off putting. Aside...

I will admit to wanting the Fraggle figure license away from MindStyle. Their initial take on blind boxing, kiddie alphabet bases and expensive SRP for the Fraggle brand just doesn't sit well with me. The same goes for their extremely and needlessly expensive Dark Crystal figures derived from...

Muppet Christmas Carol was dedicated to Jim Henson and Richard Hunt. The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film was also dedicated to Jim Henson because the Creature Shop created the animatronic suits. Muppets From Space has a little nod to Jim Henson when Kermit reads his local newspaper - The...

Both trailers are also on You Tube for those who don't favor Quicktime (the Betamax of the web). ;) I just can't tell what to think of it yet. It's Disney, traditionally animated and features frogs so it's all good if the story's fit. And it must have music. :)

I hope they'll do some Fraggle figures. MindStyle kind of finked out on us. I hope they don't have the authority to hold up production for anyone else wanting to make them - or at least will release theirs soon. Waiting for the film is just too long. :smirk: Still, exciting news. It's about time.

I wish they'd kept the energy of the opening throughout the picture along with Jerry Juhl's original vision. Today's audiences expect more humor than ever before. The Simpsons can wedge a dozen gags a minute every week. There's no need for Kermit to look so bored in a feature film...

No mob, but here's a rebuttal for Rowlf. :sympathy: Classic Rowlf TMS Rowlf clip TMS clip 2

Did you see MFS in the theater or on home video? The small screen experience is much different and better one in my experience. After the opening number - the scope of the script that they went with didn't suit the big screen. I remember getting restless in the theater more than I do when I...

I think it's flattering that people like the characters so much no matter what their talent level. The disgrace is when the Muppets are hidden away from the public. This stuff is far from disgraceful. It's a good thing. :super:

It's beautiful. I think you've pegged the character's Henson Triangle proportions perfectly here. The nuances of his mouth and the fluff around the ears too. This is the bear at his best. :o

If they were to go for puppet casting for the lead they should have thrown everything up in the air and Muppetize the entire production. Cast Robin in the lead role and just call him Robin instead of Dorothy. So, the silver slippers would have to be silver flippers, but much more fun could be...

Thanks for that. I enjoy the ambiguity of the Weird One. I like that Frank Oz is still kicking butt with the Muppets in one way or another. :super: Packaging any character too far into a box is always a bad idea. It limits their humor (and they have to travel that way anyway).

In 2007 Dave Goelz appeared at the YBCA in San Francisco for the Jim Henson screenings. Gonzo was at hand and he admitted to being an alien when asked. It didn't seem like a big deal to him. I don't care for that origin either or what befell Muppets From Space, but ask a Muppet any question on...

The movie is good. It's a different sort of animal, but you'll enjoy it. BTW, we sold a Fruity Oaty Lunchbox in the store the other day. Not sure if you're at that part yet. I'd almost forgotten about that bit and what that product really is.

Firefly is a Joss Whedon program. He's the creator of Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog and now Dollhouse. Firefly was a great show that's more space western than a Star Trek or Farscape. Fox really ruined the program by shifting it around on it's schedule, airing...

There was no need to get that touchy, Muppetperson. Unless you are the official representative for Disney or the company producing the product then you can't say for certain. Your efforts and communication have been valuable and fans like me commend you on that. Deals can dissolve in a heartbeat...
