all I know, is if I had a hand in the Muppets(not literally!) or owned them...you;d be seeing a triumphantly glorious new Muppet film, prime time Muppet show that was smart, subversive but still appropriate for the family, and the magic would be back like nobodies business. People would see the...
Well I know I can do a most excellent Beaker and Bunsen impersonation, but can they find teenage CDA workers that can?
Anyways, I'm kind of disappointed...I'd be more excited if they had some pretty kick *** muppet rides, a star tours type ride, and more just Muppetyness.
Excellent. Shows Oz still cares. And I now admit, it was in the longrun GOOD Sesame Street seceded from JHC, otherwise who knows...Disney mighta gobbled em off. With the exception of Washington politicians, Sesame Street can never be shelved or taken away(only destroyed from the inside out by...
Actually I liked Madagascar more than the Wild, BUT the animation on Madagascar looked like it was from 1997...just horrid, while the Wild looked absolutely beautiful.
But geez, how many animal cgi movies come out a year? I lost count.
(Open Season, Over the Hedge, Valiant, Barn Yard...
Oh I agree... the Muppets are ALL about bridging cultural divide, promoting peace, tolerence, laughter, love and friendship in this crazy world. they are also about parody...and I don't mean to be ethnocentric.
But come on, ever since the Henson family pretty much eythenized and aborted the...
HERE HERE! By all means create a UK Muppet show using the original characters...IF they are to be performed by their principle Muppeteer. OTHERWISE they need to create new characters.
Whats so difficult about coming up with a whole new cast...sure they can use penguins or obscure background...
Where's the "Save Muppets" campaign?
Sci fi cancels Farscape, millions of people worldwide go on an all out internet media blitz awareness jihad with signatures and making themselves heard.
The Muppets themselves are putting much thrown in a closet for good,
and Muppet fans sigh a...
I concur. Thats why they should have just made original muppets for this venture. France, like Germany just HAS to dub everything which is lame.
Btw, has there ever been a Muppet fan from France on here? Just curious.
They were the first to get the Fraggle dvds, again...dubbed in French...
So pretty much, Disney is letting them use Muppet puppet replicas and make their own little show. How cute.
Too bad no serious Muppet fan would consider this canon or even the real Muppets or a real Muppet production.
They should create new original puppets, period.
Sadly, Disney has...
Muppet OZ was literally, literally the WORST and most excruciating toi watch Mu ppet production ever. And Im talking even worse than the 1993 era Muppet Classic Fairytale series. I definately wouldnt be showing kids Muppet Oz, as it's nothing but pure garbage. There is no "Muppety" moments in...
YES! That was quite the cool little obscure cameo...are they rebuilding some of the older lesser known characters? Hopefully we see more TMS cameos soon.
I agree with your statement. I followed wrestling big time from 1986 til about 2002, then gave up.
The ultimate dream angle of WWF vs WCW vs ECW vs NWO was completely botched, and it ceased to become anything other than Mad TV skits with some "wrestling".
But now we have TNA which is...
So pretty much to summarize, as Muppet fans we really don't have anything to look forward to? Aw, to take a time machine back to 1998 when it seemed like the Muppets were on the verge of a glorious new era.
So some Sesame dvds, a couple of fantasy worlds graphic novels, and not much else in 2007...mmm.
You know folks, if I would have started a poll, say three years ago when the mouse bought the Muppets...and I said "How many people think that by 2007 the Muppet franchise will be flatlined?" I...
Yeah it's just not looking good...even JimHillMedia, who was ALWAYS doing pro Muppet articles every week hasn't even done one in ages.
We could truly be looking at a completely Muppetless year. I wish "SecretSquirrel" or some Muppet insider could poke their head in and at least *hint* at...
So folks, are the Muppets in a transitional phase, or on life support to continue linger and wither?
Does anyone know of ANY Muppet or Muppet related things to be excited about in 2008? No news of any muppet projects, films, shows, merchandise, special stuff, events, etc. Dark Crystal 2 isnt...
Oh totally. I mean Fizzgig was used in an episode of Fraggle Rock, one of the rare times a "Creature Shop Fantasy World" character cameo'd in a Muppet production besides the dog scene in Muppets @WDW
The UK show Mopatop regularly featured characters from the Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, and...
And both Emmet Otter and Fraggle Rock ARE Muppets, so again it's silly for them to make any distinction...especially when the Sesame Street characters are still legally called "Muppets"
Here's my take.
ONLY the Henson/Disney legal team makes the seperation.
The REST of the world will ALWAYS see them as Muppets.
To me the following are and will ALWAYS be Muppets, and in the muppet
universe:
The Muppet Show characters(including Cinderalla, Great Santa Switch, Sam...
