Quite honestly, I feel Rizzo was gaining more screen time partially because Steve was far more comfortable with him than Kermit. The only real proof of that I have is the commentary track from MFS which Kermit left at the very beginning to return at the very end with Rizzo taking most of the...

I don't really think they've followed through with the two movies per year. Good Dinosaur was supposed to be released last year, but behind the scenes problems bumped it up, so to stay on track it's getting a November release. I'd much rather Disney release their own films that time of year...

The funny thing about Book of Life is that Jorge Guitirrez has been trying to get the project off the ground for years. Well before Pixar announced it. Pixar's film has been in development purgatory for years, and while I'd say BOL is a part of the problem, something tells me they had only a...

Homeward Bound was a pretty good film and it had a lot more heart than "The Boring Dog who shot Boring Hoops." And even that movie seemed grounded. These are just obnoxious, keep the Kindergarteners quiet ("Kindergarteners love talking dogs") that keep getting cranked out. But by far this one...

Thank Glob for that. I had a feeling it was a play, because a musical would... ah, who am I kidding? With so many just baffling musical adaptions of movies that keep getting cranked out, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it was. And not even the kind you'd think, either. Something...

...and the one that couldn't get them before can't now. Gotta love those internet scalpers. Things haven't been around more than a few years.

Hoo boy, we have a real live one. Just when you thought there would be no more sports for dogs to ruin in imbecilic kid's movies, comes another low. Russell Madness (some bad pun on Wrestling as the dog is a Jack Russel)... a dog that can somehow wrestle against large humans and has an...

At least he knows what a TV Dinner feels like. That's got to count for something. I'd say you answered your own question, but that's what it seems like to me. I could also see Stand by Me, maybe Shawshank Redemption, both with heavy alteration to make them work on stage. HEY! All ones they...

Hey. So, when did this thread all the sudden become about replacing Rowlf and Scooter? Didn't we already have characters that effectively did that that have now been double replaced by Rowlf and Scooter?

I'd say that they should take a cue from the comics and promote Scooter to writer. Or at least a bigger backstage producer type deal. Either way, it only matters if it's that kind of show again. But even though they're an ageless troupe of fictitious characters, being the intern for that...

Scooter should have a higher position in the Muppets by now. He's been an intern for decades. I see Walter in his role with Scooter getting a much deserved promotion. Maybe having Scooter mentor him. But again, this is all purely hypothetical. We don't know what the heck's gonna happen with...

The article didn't specify musical or play, so it could very well be the case. It seems that every piece of news in just the heading is a what?! Bruce Willis on Broadway? What?! Broadway version of Misery? What?! Alone, powerfully weird news, but together, and this is the best way I can...

Bruce Willis to star in Broadway adaption of Misery Uh...what?! Bruce Willis... starring in a Broadway adaption... of Misery! Just... what?!? Of course it doesn't say it's a musical, so it could very well just be a play but... Bruce freaking Willis... starring in a Broadway version of...

And quite honestly, they did it right where other hybrid movies failed. The CGI managed to perfectly capture the character's looks and movements, keeping the bouncy and fluid movements all while keeping them perfectly cartoon character like. None of that Garfield/Scooby-Doo "this is how they'd...

I expected him to eat the box, actually. Seems like David had a problem opening the box with those Cookie Monster gloves if you look very carefully at the beginning.

The more I think about it, it has to do with kid's movie fatigue. There was a solid string of Frozen, that crap freaking squirrel movie that was lucky as crap to not bomb with a small budget, Lego Movie and Peabody and Sherman. I have the feeling that releasing it that close to P&S pretty much...

I'll agree that it's a really dumb brand quirk. I'm glad the film makers tried to sneak in as many Henson references as they did. What was baffling was when they had that "Greatest TV Guide" thingy on ABC and they made no short work of saying ALF was a puppet. So, like, it's okay to say...

Spongebob was not a surprising success, as it's been the most popular cartoon series of the past decade and a half. Somehow, you'd think that being on Nick enough times a day to not have to sink a family's worth of movie tickets would have hampered it, but happily it didn't. Timing was also key...

I'd say it would be more likely to be a Guardians of Garhool or whatever the crap it was wanna be than a full on Chipmunks one. But totally, the DTV cheapquel did more damage than a full on remake. That was when those were still considered the it thing to do, no thanks to Disney. The first...

Cookie's successful eclipsing Elmo's popularity. That's the take home here. Elmo's still really popular, but Cookie has more appeal beyond age groups. Grover certainly had a shot. After all, Elmo never had a Macy's balloon, but Grover did. But Cookie has become the go to character and not...
