The Golden Compass Controversy. It appears that more and more these days there are no shades in the spectrum of opinion or debate - only the stark extremes. I tend to pull for the underdog, but I refuse to buy into anything hook, line and sinker. It is so easy to hear a few words, without...

That's the part I'm uncertain of. There has been a swift knee-jerk reaction to this film while the award-winning books have been around for a while. I have not been exposed to either or actually seen enough about the author's intention in context. So far I am under the impression that the spirit...

I don't feel that many of the Disney Channel programs with kids and aimed at kids are particularly interested in much more than brand and product-pushing. Nick shows seem to have a balance of both. They're entertaining without being preachy, but still retain better values than I've seen on...

Why is it everyone always sounds different on the phone? :confused: I never knew about these. Cool, but I don't think they work with Sprint. :o The first time I've been unhappy with my provider.

I feel the same way, but my taste has never been much of a guidepost for others. I never cared for kids my own age anyway. I didn't much like kids in a show anyway. If a show didn't have a Muppet in it, I tended to go for shows with adults like Murder She Wrote. I am unable to understand a young...

:eek: With the writer's strike we will likely see some passed over shows as mid-season replacements as long as they're already in post production. With the decline of television viewership, largely due to video games and the internet, I suspect that the writers will eventually get their due, but...

I was wondering... I know that Master Replicas has been sending their Kermit poser on a world tour having fans snap photos of the frog to be posted on the MR site. The quality of the photos has been hit-or-miss, but it does show a reaching out to fans of the Muppets and their product. :)...

I saw it too. It wasn't the best film, but I did enjoy the slower pace and less reliance on the usual expected eyeball-grabbing found in such films. You walked out in the first few minutes of the film? That's when Kermit appears. So about ten or twelve minutes of the film dragged and dragged for...

Excellent Documentary If you are interested in seeing how Muppets are made or the inner-workings of a Muppet television production this is not the film for you. There are others out there like "Of Muppets and Men" to fill that need. :) If you are interested in the spirit and reason for...

Thinner... If the ads could somehow be thinner as are the blue bars atop each post. I know that's not much, but it is less intrusive and integrates the advertisement more. ;) If that blue bar that reports the advertisement was in fact the ad itself and reported "more information below" or...

Miss Piggy's Biggest Fan! Also there's Maurine the Mink from Muppet Family Christmas. If you remember, she was Miss Piggy's biggest fan and Kermit's gift to Piggy in the special. She emerges upon rollover of the pig. In the special this character was voiced and performed by Karen Prell...

:halo: Wow! How much of that Animal is factory mint and how much benefited from your personal tweaking? He looks amazing. After the holidays I'll order mine! I have a feeling that this time next year (due to the excellence and low production number) these things will be going for much more cash...

Awwww. Well it was a pretty prototype. Even from the incorrect (old JHM) branding I knew that it hadn't gone through the paces at Disney yet. Is it possible that it was an old license they tried to resurrect at the last minute and Disney found a way to nix it? :sympathy:

I feel Burton's Wonka was missing something too. I felt at arm's length - more viewer than immersed participant. That's the opposite I felt with Edward Scissorhands. That film reached me on many levels. I'd say Burton's best. We'll see what Sweeney Todd offers. :concern: I saw Bee Movie...

I agree that summer was not a good time to release MFS. It probably would have done better in spring or autumn, but on the script's merit I don't think it would ever have done very well. There was quite a bit of marketing for it, (more than I remember MTI having) but it so easily got lost in the...

That is fantastic news, Phillip! After the new year I would enjoy designing a couple flash ecards and if well received, maybe one or two per section eventually. And don't forget that existing work (with authorization of course) can easily be made interactive animated in flash. I have missed...

I'm also wondering when these Disney Channel Muppet & stars infomercial/bumpers are going to roll-out? However, at the Mr. Magorium film, many kids knew and enthusiastically responded to Kermit. I didn't expect that reaction. Maybe the cheapy Disney DVD releases (that many fans felt could have...

It's no secret how I felt about the theatrical release of Muppets From Space. I could just hear nails pounding into the Muppet coffin while watching it in the theater. The audience simply didn't respond. Neither did I (until it hit home video - it plays much better that way). But I think the the...

That is what I was thinking. This exhibit introduces the Muppets to a new generation of fans everyday. To me, that means it never gets old. If the attraction was falling apart or losing money I'd understand, but I really don't think it is. I know they always have the one in Florida, but not...

I'm glad to see somebody got many of the same things out of that film as I did. Like the film - you have to want to believe and enjoy your time spent at Magoriums or you probably won't be pleased with it. And if you're seeing it just for Kermit then you might want to wait for the DVD. I'm glad...
