I've heard Johnny Depp's name tossed about for the Riddler next time out, but that's just another rumor. I doubt he'd do Nolan's Batman considering his long relationship with Burton.
Nolan has been very gracious when asked about Burton's first two Batman films but there's been only silence...
Hey! :mad: I really liked Meet the Robinsons. Did you actually see that film? There's a touching sentiment not contained in any other animated film I've ever seen. Chicken Little had a little bit of it too.
I can agree with you on Barnyard. The company just purchased the technology and made...
Misshapen Kermit? Oh, I'm not glad to hear that. I liked those weird comics on the Wiki as one-shot strips rather than comprising an entire book. There's nothing I dislike more than an artist making a name for himself by tinkering with (rather than respecting) the greater work of others. There's...
I hope that never happens. I have to disagree with any fan that wants to stick the Muppets away in a time capsule.
There's a reason why the special was only shown and promoted in the kids block of the Disney Channel. It's a disposable appearance that seems to have achieved gaining awareness...
I would like to hear about his SS comments too. :insatiable:
Here's a YouTube Oz interview clip about Death at a Funeral where he briefly mentions the Muppets and Jim Henson. He is a rather humble and reserved man that really only broke away from that through his characters. He also explains...
I agree with you in part. I like the idea of taking what has been established (like an episode of Pigs in Space) and running further with the concept - past the one minute of jokes. The comics provide an opportunity to see the characters in a different light and I like that.
I would also...
I agree with you. I think the ratio came from the blind boxing concept. They had a certain height and width to work with so that each piece could fit in the same size box.
I still feel they were thinking too small with these figures. I think they should throw in a few mini facades (flat...
:attitude: You're Censored! Just kiddin' ;)
I see your point. I have seen a few preemptive strikes that I felt were unnecessary over the past couple years, but a mod's job is a hard one. Some forums have moderators who are too aloof when there’s a problem. Some forums are rather snarky and...
I agree with this. This Studio DC show was designed to be tucked away so that mostly the target audience would see it. The special was quite bland juxtaposed to the usually witty and colorful Muppets. The DC fans seem to be eating it up on YouTube. Think of what they'll say when they really see...
I don't think Frank Oz is on a high horse, as mentioned, or that he owes fans anything after providing decades of Muppety goodness. The Muppets are in great hands and the DC special, while not ideal for fans like me will help enlighten some DC watchers to where the good stuff is!
Here's a...
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...
The true test for me is that I really don't care to see it again. Sad, but true. It's not bad or unwatchable. Just not inspiring to repeat viewings even with my fanaticism.
This company doesn't do that sort of figure and these were not indended for articulation like Super Grover or the Palisades Gobo prototype. These are more like high-end PVC figures or like bigger Muppet Minis from Palisades. It makes for a much more fluid pose, but a static one at that. :coy...
These are fantastic! I see they lost the letters and numbers bases completely. Good call. That is likely why some appear to be leaning a little on the flat surfaces, but find them a corner and you're set. These are beautiful. From texture and color to likeness and fluid poses these are "the"...
Stories, books and screenplays old and new rely on arc-types. There's a fine line between them and stereotypes because arc-types are meant to have depth and to develop something along the way they didn't necessarily have at the beginning. Most of the time it is something that strengthens their...
Most people never heard of Muppets Tonight. That was part of its problem. They stuck it with Urkel in ABC's family lineup. :grouchy:
I would say my Henson fandom for things I really like are is in this order - Muppet Show (all incarnations), Dark Crystal/Labyrinth, Fraggle Rock, Sesame Street...
