Forget kids, what about adults touching puppets? I've noticed that they can be even more disrespectful - tugging at and touching puppets. That's one selling point of puppetry over CG is that it actually exists and can be touched, but that is not an invitation. In situations with over eager or...

Miss Piggy looks really nice on the huge character splash page of episode one. I wonder what happened to her design? I do like those compositions, but the pig looks a little wonky. :confused:

That's what it says in the quote you cited. :coy:

What I would like to see for next year's anniversary: Completed 5 season DVD sets of The Muppet Show (with additional complete box set). Completed DVD set of Muppets Tonight. A line of smaller-scale Muppet figures. Better integration of Muppets on Disney's brand and site. A new Muppet...

I admit to initially finding the piece off-putting, but the content wasn't crass or cruel. The whole Ouija board angle is also frowned upon by some of our religious members as well. While the "interview" isn't a choice I would make it does capture a lot of Jim-isms and it's done with a lot of...

It's still a post-Jim element in the Muppets over the past several years. But, yeah. It's gone unless somehow Brian returns for the Halloween special. I hope he does.

Just thinking of old and new. My thoughts. Good New (post-Jim) Muppet Stuff: Bill Barretta's Pepe, Johnny, Bobo etc Gonzo has never looked better Muppets.com & YouTube Muppet dream merchandise of figures and posers Muppet pirates with Tim Curry Some Muppets Tonight moments Dave &...

Thanks for stopping by Muppet Central to clear this up. I'd be upset too. I just posted this over on your blog as well: I can understand why you'd be so stressed about such a violation - especially with such an early draft. Still, the review I read seemed promising. It was my assumption that...

I agree. This project appears to be more informative than preachy. There was none of that garbage about people being bad, liberalism or carbon footprints as Carrie stated. The press release cites teamwork, cooperation, green technology and eco consciousness. Those should be universal...

I just find it strange that many of the things he calls into question as Muppety are rooted in the Jim era. The problem hasn't really been the format as much as the execution. Although I do think actual Muppet Show elements have been too ignored in most projects since Jim Henson. Also, the...

Wow! Froggin' wow! :super:

:confused: Wow. What negativity for something so positive and Jim-like. The environment and symbiotic nature of the world was always a part of Jim's message, his artwork and Fraggle Rock. It appears you are projecting something not contained in this new program. The use of key words like...

Exactly. They don't always get it 100% right but they, along with the dedicated Muppeteers, have been hiking uphill for nearly two decades with very little consistent help.

It appears that Segel has very little knowledge of the Muppets' 19 year post Jim history that he bashes a little too much. Sure there were many missteps. However - parodies with Muppets playing iconic roles and technological innovations like trying to get them to ride bicycles or perform...

I might write a review later, but the Muppet Show Comic Book gets my enthusiastic stamp of approval. It should be required reading for every Muppet writer. :flirt:

Bolt was fun. Great in 3D too. The humor was okay, but it was Rhino that stole the show. He made me laugh very hard. Maybe you have to own rodents to really appreciate what they did with that character, but I still think it should be universal. Some really striking shot composition too. :super:

Widescreen = no orphaned Muppets cropped out of the shot (says Jamie who is home sick today). :(

Doozers easily lend themselves to CG so I'm not upset. I just hope that the Fraggle mythology remains adequately intact and that the writing is kept universally appealing rather than Barneyfied. I also hope the top-heavy Doozer design is tweaked a little, textures are added and quality is a...

I really enjoy what been shown of issue one so far and agree with most of this guy's review except for his clumsy assumption that fans have been upset over these most recent Muppet incarnations of Langridge's work. Many of the earlier drawings were off the mark and have been thoughtfully...
