This is what creator Jim Davis wants Jim Davis' fingerprints are all over the movie and the DVD production. This is very much his baby (unlike the other live action attempts). He waited for the computer animation medium to advance enough (especially in areas of squash and stretch) so that his...

If the Henson Company has demonstrated anything in the past years it is that every step of production is quite tentative on their part. Budget, marketing, talent negotiation, pitching all has a lengthy process by nature, especially with smaller companies. :rolleyes: Voicing support is a...

You will find that my sign-up date is the beginning one for this version of the Muppet Central Forum. It's the same sign-up date for many members back in the Delphi days. The question is, how can these guys who joined a year or two ago have so many posts? LOL! Funny thing is, I stopped posting...

Couldn't agree more. The public is now aware the Muppets are out there (Ford ads, Idol, America's Got Talent, Millionaire, Deal or No Deal, Paula Dean, Pizza Hut, Mr. Magorium and more) but now they've gotta do something with them. Hope this writer's strike ends soon and that it hasn't tainted...

Yeah, Bill-O likes to tape his more "wild card" guests so that he may edit them to appear to have the higher ground. Just how he is. I expected that the interview would be bumped because of the Clinton campaign headquarters hostage story. Hope that resolved itself. Some guy off his meds. Not...

:eek: I also like the SNL cartoon because it deems Kathy Lee Gifford as being an oppressor. LOL! I'm glad that cartoon seems to be well-received by many. The X-Men history, as I have researched, began as a symbolic plotline parallel to minority fight for rights in the 60s and has kept up the...

I always felt the same way before a friend corrected me. Mickey used to have much more of a mischievous side to him in his earlier works. These antics were then taken over by the duck and his actions resulted in more consequences. But I agree with you, no matter how his first few years were...

I think it's best that they just focus on the characters. By its nature, getting this type of product to market in a timely fashion is a difficult enough feat. And releasing these packs so far after the character it is meant to accompany makes it a harder sell, one mainly geared to the biggest...

My Predictions: 1. I predict several releases for Muppet merchandise next year. I also predict that Disney will release something new with them finally either via the web or advert-bumpers. 2. I predict The Muppet Show: Season 3 will be released next year, but likely with cuts. I predict...

Didn't they already have some footage for a few of the Next Muppet shows in the can? Why didn't they at least make them into webisodes for Muppets.com? And why on earth is Muppets.com a ghost town? It's not just with the Muppets, but since the dot com bust several years ago big companies like...

:zany: That's what a Secular-Progressive would say. Are you anti-family, apple pie and America? Only kidding! Bill-O used to drive me nuts too, but I think his self righteous buffoonery works against his preposterous talking points. :rolleyes: I like it when other news sources catch him in...

It's just a younger different sounding Jon to me. Not my first choice, but he's okay. I totally loved Nermal. The voice actor aint bad either. ;) It's just nice to see everybody back where they should be and sans Brecken Meyer. Apparently Frank Welker does the voices for everything in the...

I have that on DVD. There's a SNL TV Funhouse/cartoon compilation that's worth getting. It has Ace and Gary on the cover. I really like the Anna Nicole Smurfette spoof, however it seems a little morbid now. Still, it's funny. ;) The Jesus/Peanuts bit makes me smile every time! :) One...

Oh, that is funny! I'm not sure if you get O'Reilly over there, but Steven Colbert's show is basically a direct lampooning of Bill-O. The funny thing is, he really doen't play it up that much. Bill really is that asinine. Even moreso sometimes! :attitude: I stand by my Sam comment. LOL!

It's the story... CG is still in its infancy. The technique used to be a gimmic, a draw for audiences that have now grown complacent with the technology when at its best and critical when not. It will become clear soon to studios that it is the story that drives a film of any genre and we'll...

Garfield Gets Real: A Review Garfield Gets Real gets right what the recent theatrical releases got wrong. No real animals, Ghost Whisperer, spontaneous pop music dancing montage or trying to hard to be relevant. Creator Jim Davis was very much at the helm of this project and it shows. If you...

Bill O'Reilly, really? Wow, that is strange. For anyone on the planet that doesn't know who Bill O'Reilly is, he's a very conservative megalomaniac (no, not Melmachian) that grand-stands on cultural issues. He's a guy who only sees in black and white extremes and actually buys into his own...

There are enough films that do that these days. It's refreshing that this one decided not to. It probably would have made more money if it was filled with pop songs and nods to current trends, but Bird went the brave and classier rout. For poop jokes and pop culture references galore - Shrek 3...

I agree with you there. No gas jokes, no pop culture references (except maybe a nod to Wolfgang Puck for selling-out and making frozen meals). I usually dislike over-hyped/over-rated film fluff but Ratatouille was not that. That place belongs to Shrek the Third. After what I saw as some missed...

:) Muppets have a way of relating to people, especially kids, on a level few other things or people do. Can a Muppet actually read? Can Gonzo actually pick up a phone without it being glued to his hand (as in the Jim Henson Hour episode)? Kami is a way to inform kids in South Africa of an issue...
