I'm still very curious about the Gonzo replica. There appears to be a chasm between the creative and business sides at Master Replicas and we've been mostly left out of the loop in areas that could help. I think they do read around here. I know that it took Ken Lilly campaigning for certain...

For some reason I have heard it's just cheaper to burn a second DVD than to double-side. Plus Disney and others like to silkscreen an image on one side. Makes them prettier. LOL! I don't mind either way. Personally, I think if a cropped/full frame version is included it should be burned on a...

I see your overwhelming optimism has hit this thread as well. ;) There will definitely be a second film. Since the models have been built and the first film has been a great financial success, a sequel is imminent. I personally enjoyed the current film and will purchase the DVD once...

No Chippettes. Maybe the next film. However I'd like it if they didn't show up until a third film. I just wanna see the Theodore movie. ;)

It's more of a Moulin Scrooge themed Scooter in the windmill. The cabaret chickens are just normal Muppet chickens, one with a golden top hat, others with dancing girl feathers etc as in the special. The other two dancing girls are anything Muppets featured as dancing girls in the Very Merry...

Art schools are seldom run by creative minds :sympathy: I am very sorry to hear about your expulsion. I feel it was unjustified as the situation has been reported in your post. I know this is cold comfort - but it is not the end of the world. I have attended three, yes three, different art...

I just don't see why companies don't distribute double-disc sets. It's really not that expensive and they'd save on so much packaging and the format that most collects dust. You know, that format used to be the widescreen version, but these days it's the cropped "full frame" DVDs that sell...

. ;) Moulin Scrooge Menu :flirt: This is the Moulin Scrooge (Rouge) theme from the Muppet’s Christmas special on NBC a few years ago. A red curtain, with golden letters reading Muppet Central, rises to reveal a gold-trimmed theater stage with red curtains framing either side. Santa, on...

I concur and there probably will be more plushes etc to come. There is a resurgence in their music catalog dated this year, but that's not enough. It occurs from time to time, of course, but they had the intention to compliment this release. High gross = more movies = more investment in plush...

You know, I think you're on to something. And companies can often bundle current shows with other contemporaries as a syndication package. It's all about the new - even with the old. :sleep:

LOL! We had that discussion before we decided on it. He's just uttering one of his grouchisms, but the lines are a rather putrid green color. ;) I really liked the Doozer, but he's one of the few that didn't make the cut. Also, originally Gobo was more pleasant as I remember. But the smirk...

It always appears to be a follow-through issue with Disney. They set things up just to let them fizzle out. They have a sort of Muppet ADD. They've got to pick a plan and follow it through.:mad:

I'd look to Big Bird, Cookie and the Count as possible additions to the smiley grouping. Grover's cute and a great character, but there are other characters that better serve as easily identifiable emotions (that haven't been filled). The characters are chosen for several reasons. I can...

No worries. :) I see the characters as timeless rather than novel or a trend, but I get that's not what you meant. The characters have certainly recognized trends and poked fun at them! That's part of their bread and butter. I just see the Muppets as "evergreen" however they aren't being...

I found it interesting and odd that Burton was flying on this film without his music copilot Elfman. I remember looking that up when first spotting the film's posters. The compositions I've heard promoting the film haven't been that impressive, but Sondheim is often hit-or-miss with me. I...

:eek: Critics have welcomed the new Sweeney Todd, but people seem to be skipping it. Not even $10M opening weekend? I know National Treasure's out and little is going to touch that at this time of year, but opening at fifth behind two second-week releases is surprising! I will be seeing the...

They really should have made a Beaker. It makes sense for him to get deformed and become all creepy, however with his simple design I doubt he'd get all smooshy. Well, that's what I thought about half these guys. I still will never understand how plush Kermits have devolved over the years...

That's a great photo. Unfortunate about the "Meth Foot-Hold" headline next to the image. Maybe Kermit's big froggy feet can kick that foothold right out of the city! :) Thanks for being freaky and snapping that picture. The world could use more of us freakies! :crazy: ;)

Results are in and Chipmunks is up to $85M. This, its second weekend, made $29M at #3. National Treasure is considered a big hit costing much more to make and reaping the same opening weekend box office figure, $45M, as the Chipmunks. There will be more and I couldn't be happier. Well, I will if...

Did I make one? Probably got nixed by the staff consensus. LOL! I have my favorite characters that just didn't translate the best into smileys. Likeness, emotion and purpose all need to be there. I remember that being the case with Boober. However, I did think the Doozer was a good idea. He...
