    In Development: Henson's Fraggle Rock Movie

    So it appears to me that Brian Henson will be performing the Gobo puppet and other various Jerry Nelson parts in the hope that they will eventually be dubbed later by Jerry himself if he is able. :smirk: After seeing behind the scenes footage with Jerry on the Fraggle Rock DVD sets there's no...

    New Muppet Pin set on Disneystore.com!

    Scooter, Statler, Waldorf and Rizzo are not pins. They are part of the backing illustrations, but that doesn't make this set bad by any standard. These pins capture the characters pretty well and the very classic Muppet Show look pleases me too! They didn't Disney it up one bit. The Mouse is...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    I agree with much of heralde's assessment except for the Oz Floyd line in the extended DVD version (that scene didn't appear on the ABC broadcasts). I kind of like that moment. I think he just referenced driving the same van since 78 rather than outright calling it old or junky. It is a bit...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    From the articles I have read that's precisely what Segel isn't interested in doing. That's what excites me. As has been said in this thread by others - I think he gets it. No Girls Gone Wild jokes, no "Way to get down with your bad selves" out of character Kermit lines, and yet no dumbing it...

    Spring Cleaning

    Thanks and I really love that new avatar! ;) It's been slow going today, but I like the new shower curtain. Blue stripies are the new black! He he.

    Spring Cleaning

    Well, it's nearly April and my year thus far hasn't lived up to its promise. I won't bore y'all too much with the details – My father is undergoing minor cancer treatment, my mom is a cancer survivor, but just received her third knee replacement, is due for another while also having back...

    Your Thoughts on Sam Plenty

    :search: Pretty interface and richly developed niche content, but just not my taste. I predict that this project has been either launched too soon or too late to find its appropriate target market. I could be wrong; however I see a bad timing issue. Kudos to Henson for attempting something fresh...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    :flirt: Personally I'd like to see the Muppets with musical acts more like Foo Fighters, OK Go, U2 or even Weezer again before seeing them with Hannah Montana or Carrie Underwood. Acts that seem to be more weather-tested than label machinery or pop-of-the-moment. Taste aside; I feel such other...

    Meet the Feebles: A sick take on the Muppets

    I'm a pretty fanatical Muppet fan so you're safe. He he. Well, at least from me, there are many other fans that have a rabid distaste for the Feebles. I see it in what I believe is the intended perspective, but can understand how others would disagree. I was rather stunned upon my first viewing...

    Meet the Feebles: A sick take on the Muppets

    There are some long-held threads on the Feebles that gets some activity from time to time. Here's one of them that has some good replies that you might want to check out, but I don't mind posting here too. I actually kind of like this film for several reasons. I have studied film and find...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    :) These are the things we can likely assume about the direction of the new film from what has been stated in various articles. * It will be set in present day. * It will be timeless (transcending both retro and/or trendy). * The Muppets will play themselves (instead of alter-egos). * The...

    "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" Announced for 2009

    I like the original "Ice Age" even though the animation is sub-par and the story is fairly paint-by-number. It has some shining moments, a lot of style and character. The sequel has better animation, but is really a scattered retread of the first film. I just saw the teaser trailer for the...

    Ask Travis: A Master Replicas Photo Puppet Q&A Thread

    I doubt we drove off Travis. He's likely busy with life and the restructuring that we already know that's happening within the company. I don't have any official word on this, but I don't think there's cause for concern. We didn't break Travis and we didn't kill the Muppet line. I wonder about...

    Your Thoughts: The Star Wars Muppet Figures

    Caper, you officially rock! :super: On the figures- well, it appears to me that they took a look at the Muppet Show Star Wars episode, the Palisades figures and then mixed in a lot of cartoony stylization and artistic license. I can't report being completely thrilled, however I do plan to...

    Easter Banner Menu

    The menu only comes around once a year so I'd like to keep it the way it is. Maybe the menus are due for some tweaks. I intend to do so every year and then get too busy. :sympathy: We have so many Christ-mas menus during the holiday (the Muppets have always been big on Christmas) to fill the...

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    Exciting news. I always enjoy reading your scoops! :excited: Thanks for those. I wonder what type of connection they were running muppets.com at the taping? My internet comes from a card provided my cell phone plan. The way it collects data causes some things (like Henson.com audio and...

    Abbreviations that Annoy You

    I was never a fan of the term "hella" because I feel if you're going to curse and actually say the term anyway, you should have the guts to go for the gold and say it outright! Such a California term that was never adopted in my Texan vernacular. :p I really don't speak like a Texan either...
