Hmmmmm
;) You know what would be kind of cool? What if every season (or half season) the Muppet gang travels and gets stuck someplace different? That invites opportunities for season cliffhangers and helps keep things fresh. Might be expensive, but so much seems to be blue (or "green") screened...
Martha seemed a bit upset with Piggy's claim about her recipe not working out. Martha has a track record of getting testy with such guests, but was smart enough not to argue with the pig. Even she knows there's only degrees of losing on that road. He he.
I thought it was a lot of fun...
:)
There's a soft-spot in my heart for the holiday menus - especially the Christmas ones. Wish I could have completed the initial "12 Menus of Christmas" I had wanted. Maybe sometime in the future.
By the way - who is creating all of the Muppet-licious cartoon member icons? They are...
I found it fairly entertaining (almost a few spit-take moments for me). I hope it catches on so it can grow.:excited:
Incidentally, I found the "Puppet Up" Muppets-like font to be a nice nod to what had come before. I also enjoy the Java-ish character (referred to in the graphic design...
Regarding the Muppets' current popularity - the Muppet Show DVD was a hit on its debut according to Amazon (#1 its first week I believe).
I think this new development over at Disney really is much more about ego and personal agenda. That's the way of showbiz, but if there's anything the...
I have to admit that neither the trip nor the addition of yet another Christmas special (so soon) really interested me. Maybe the brass is listening to fans and plans to invest in better-suited projects. And just maybe they decided it was a bad idea to have multiple performers for Kermit during...
Change in Disney Management - hmm...
It was a change in HBO management that brought an end to Fraggle Rock. Well, the newbies wanted to "kiddie" - up the show so Henson decided to go out on top with their standards in-tact. I'm sure other Muppet fans around here know the story better than I do...
Glad the menus are still a part of the Christmas season. I'll be checking in a bit more for the next couple weeks now that there's some time to spare. Really missed you guys. :) :zany:
I'm trying to remember all of it. The scenes were a little bit longer with fantastic Muppet ad-libs. I won't give it all away, but will note where some of them are.
Ashanti's opening song is longer and uncut.
There is a bit more comedy when she arrives late to Muppet Star Hunt.
There is a...
That is my favorite Muppet poster. Looking at it on my wall right now. If you remember the MC revamp, I used the Muppet-filled car to crash through the old interface and introduce the new one. How they can all fit in a studabaker I'll never know. The magic of Muppetyness.
As for Piggy's hair...
What will the cover art look like?
Okay, not that I wouldn't still buy these puppies in a dingy brown paper wrapper. But I was disappointed in the first DVDs cover art - especially when the original movie posters are so beautiful. I hope they at least approach the art with the same taste and...
Well, at least I could use my Rowlf face for something. :zany: Never get tired of the smileys.
Seems like yesterday when we all were contemplating the initial DVD releases. I really hope these films get the glossy treatment they so deserve. Heck, The Muppet Movie is one of the few things...
American audiences received a clipped print of TMM in 1979? Wow! Never knew that. Why do we always get robbed? :sympathy:
I was only 5 when seeing the film in theaters (do the math - the Frogboy's old). I always remembered the sharp cut in I Hope That Something Better Comes Along. I don't...
Could the cuts be due to poor film preservation?
Sometimes such things happen and new looping or other film takes must be substituted for faulty film preservation. This could be a reason some things were cut out of the film. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the cuts were made for completely...
It's nice to see that the banners are still appreciated. :) My favorite part of this one is the bouncy fraggles.
The Muppet Central staff and I have had plans for the forum menu since the revamp in 02. Just taking me a while to devote some time to it. Frogboy's gotta eat...flies I guess...
I always thought Animal with the halo was more humorous. Not sure if I'd give any Muppet devil horns. Maybe an Uncle Deadly could fill that sort of slot. :halo: :flirt: :sing:
;) It's one of my personal favorites of the 40something menus I've made. Glad it's still a hit. This was of the later few I made per request of the beloved Ms Karen Prell. Now I always remember the official time to celebrate puppetry (like we don't do that every day lives around these parts) :)...
