    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    I still think the Oz nipple joke was funny, harmless and it flew by. I thought such a mountain was made out of a Tin Thing. My problem with Oz (Ashanti aside) was the lack of spectacle. There was so much in the corners that I thought would have made for a better richer scope, but they took...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    The retro music of "Muppets from Space" caused the characters to appear even more like artifacts of the past rather than viable characters that live and breath in modern culture. I see the Muppets like Coca-Cola. They are most enduring in classic form. They can alter the image a bit, but too...

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    I see that too. There's less of an iron fist and more flexibility and creative freedom.

    Disney Enlists Segel & Stoller for new Muppets movie

    :D Thanks again Greg (just posted over at the Flash). It is an exciting development. I see now that Muppets.com XD is Disney's way of drumming up viewer support without having to create a television series yet. Smart thinking. The content gives me confidence that the Mouse is getting to know the...

    Where The Wild Things Are Movie

    Wow. What a fantastic experience. I am one jealous frogboy, I'll tell you that! Thanks so much for the information. I hope you can keep us updated. :eek: I know this film is being delayed a bit. Many top films have had their internal struggles and made it out the other side. Some films can...

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Gonzo Replica

    I haven't altered my Gonzo's eyelids to make them wider. I have lowered the pupil placement which is likely making it appear so. http://www.muppetcentral.com/articles/reviews/pics/replicas/gonzo_eye_focus.jpg

    What Miss Piggy should MR design?

    I'd go for that. As long as she comes with purple gloves. I really do want the pig to come fifth. I know that she sells less in the usual Muppet assortment, but there's never been a product like this! I think if they limit her edition slightly more and increase her asking price a bit that MR...

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Gonzo Replica

    :) I was inspired by your painted results, Muppet Caper, and decided to add a little pink to Gonzo's lip. http://wijitworld.com/stock_images/gonzo_lips.jpg It's hard to tell in this picture, but I think it turned out pretty good. Such a small accent does so much. :concern:

    Unstable Fables: 3 Pigs and a Baby

    After seeing this last night here is my take. Well, everything is there in fine form - animation, characters, art design, concept, voice talent etc, but the writers fail the rest of the team. It simply doesn't have enough stamina to justify the running length and there aren't many gags. It's not...

    Naked Jill? That might be too risque for Muppet Central. He he. Actually I was going to use a generic Muppet frog, but liked Bill's look better so I used the generic frog body with Bill's head. ;) Easter is just around the corner and we will have the "cutest" menu of the assortment. :concern:

    So Now There Are Ten Deadly Sins

    The Pope wears Prada shoes and often sits atop a thrown even after a vow of poverty so I have a few problems with the Catholic Church laying down the law. They have every right to preach and believe what they choose. These new deadly sins, while kind of funky are thoughtful. I wouldn't take them...

    Muppet Morsels

    I believe there is, however indirect, a connection between the two. I was not merely talking about season one's cuts. Secturing the music rights for the entire season of two and three (in whatever deal was made) could have easily shot the funds for other features. I have already pretty much...

    My Thoughts: Disney's Muppets

    I'm there with you on Rizzo. I like him okay and I love the Muppet rats but Rizzo's probably my least favorite of the bunch. I think both Pepe and Rizzo have personalities that try too hard at times, but Pepe has this aloof self-deluded quality to him that I find endearing and Muppety. Kind of...

    My Thoughts: Disney's Muppets

    I agree. I still think that one's personal taste of the Muppets is influenced by the projects that introduced them to the gang but not completely. Independent personal taste does have a lot to do with it too. As a fan in his 30s I like Pepe. I find he fits so well that it feels he's been...

    My Thoughts: Disney's Muppets

    I believe that how the Muppets are introduced to a fan influences their perception. I was born in 1974 and introduced to the Henson characters through Sesame Street. Now, the show already had five seasons before I was able to watch it. It was soon eclipsed in my life by the Muppet Show and what...

    The Chipmunks' Triumphant Return

    My guess is that some might construe some of the advertising for “Water Horse” as presumptuous, but not necessarily pretentious. It kept getting billed as "Babe" meets "ET". Now that is a bit presumptuous. But the film itself appeared to be a straight-on story that didn't play down to a kiddie...

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Gonzo Replica

    I just painted Gonzo's bottom lip pink and it makes a big difference. I didn't think it would. It's not that striking, but it gives more familiar character to the face. I'll post pictures soon. :concern:
