Jim Henson Idea Man
Remember the life. Honor the legacy. Inspire your soul. The new Jim Henson documentary "Idea Man" is now streaming exclusively on Disney+.
Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
Jim Henson use to do Rowlf, Kermit, Dr. Teeth, Chef, and Link. Eric and Frank have/had Piggy and Fozzie, two main characters, plus Animal, Sam, and a bunch of lesser characters. And Jerry Nelson, well he had tons of second string and back ground guys.
Five characters for one performer is...
Wow, those were all really great. I was so happy to see the muppet labs set. I mean thei nternet muppet tech support jokes were ok, but THIS is what Bunsen and Beaker need to be doing. They are going back to the roots and doing some really good stuff.
Wow, Gonzo in a purple tux! And not the same purple tux from his youtube video. I wonder if he will be in his new purple tux on the season 4 DVD set menus screens.
Well Jerry and Carroll are special circumstances. They are much older and had to consider retiring. Steve is still fairly young and still very much in the game.
Well, it's an improvement IF that's what the final product will look like. Let's all remember that the prototype for Gonzo was perfect, but when it got down to mass production...not so much.
Thanks. The new Kermit is certainly bigger and compared to that particular MR Kermit it looks better, though compared to mine I like mine better. That was the main issue with MR Muppets, no consistency.
Is there a side by side comparison of these two yet? That is what I am interested in to see the real size difference. I'm happy with my regular Kermit, but a reporter Kermit that is bigger might be nice to stick with Fozzie, though I do wish it was GMC reporter Kermit instead.
Maybe they...
I like the new Fozzie (though not too new anymore), Sam (looks just like Muppet Show Sam again with a nice sharp stern beak), Bunsen (In the youtube shots it looks like they fattened up his head again) and Animal (again, back to his muppet show season one hair). Gonzo is BAD and I really hope...
Wow, that's a lot of good news. I do hope all of it actually happens. I mean, I never thought we would be 10 years without a Muppet movie (in theaters). I want to see what they can do now.
BUT I must say that the new Gonzo puppet looks weird. It looks more like a fan made puppet than...
It's more than two cases. Steve was, apparently, not at the D23 thing either, even though Bill, Dave, and Eric were, the 3 main guys now that Jerry is officially retired, from the muppet show muppets anyway.
I think Disney just has it out for Steve.
Wow...that...was bad. This guy really does stink as Kermit, I'm sorry he just does.
Honestly, Disney couldn't find a better Kermit than this guy? Any one of the current performers could do a better Kermit. Of course, there wasn't exactly much material to work with during this appearance...
Post them now!
Some pictures are already posted here. http://themuppetmindset.blogspot.com/2009/09/breaking-news-from-disney23-expo.html
It looks more like a modern Kermit and seems to have more of a skeletal structure in the jaw. I'm not sure if I would say it looks better, but it does look...
Yeah, MTI was much more muppety. If they had gone with the original idea of Gonzo and Rizzo playing Jim and Hawkins it could have been down right perfect, though I do get why they didn't go that route.
I guess christmas gives people a reason to watch MCC. What we need is some kind of pirate...
I'd like to see this footage as well.
From what I saw there was no "magic". Kermit and Piggy barely interacted during this. Piggy was singing to Kermit, but Kermit seemed to be looking off to the side of Piggy and at the end when Piggy tried to interact with Kermit and ad lib, Kermit stayed...
If I need a payment plan to buy a muppet replica then I am not buying a muppet replica.
For Rizzo, I think anything over 300 would be too much. Look at how long it took Kermit to sell out and he was under 300. And that's KERMIT!
If they can make Rizzo look like the prototype they may be...
