Matt, as he has Muppet Show characters as well, depends on what Disney is shooting at the time. If that's the case, we'll unfortunately see less of Big Bird, unless they manage to shoot a lot of footage during Muppet project down time. And honestly, that's a good thing. More Muppet projects...

That's the third time that one was on all season, and that's all par for the course. Producing less than 13 of something per 26 episode season and showing it 3 times due to the budget. I saw it coming a light year away. I also find it odd they promoted Upsidedowntown Abbey over the weekend...

Grover really saved the street story. I really think they underused the concept of Elmo being the sidekick/assistant/protege of Grover. They used it to some extent here. I wish there was a paleontologist in my neighborhood. There really is a diverse circle of careers in New York city. I am...

Gonzo's screen time was minimal in the last film due to him being used as a brick joke. He was present in almost every single deleted sequence. I'm sure they're going to give him a much more substantial role this time around. If nothing else, I doubt he's going to spend the last 20 minutes of...

J.P. Grosse would have worked as Scrooge if they did an all Muppet version, but it's clear that they needed a human celebrity Scrooge for a film to work. But Scooter really should have been Fred. Too bad for Author Existence Failure... or rather Performer existence failure... which is a...

I didn't even bother looking for them online. They're always the SAME commercials Doesn't Doritos have anything better than stupid guys getting injured by animals?

That would be excellent. Just a small sample of what they do on tour... maybe a scene of them rehearsing one. Full segments like Smells like Teen Spirit, Cluck You, and the unused Swedish Chef bit would tend to drag this film down, even though it added to the nostalgic edge that made the last...

First off, I'm sure they have an alternate Elmo performer anyway. Secondly, Sesame Street was in far worse a position in the 90's and they came out of it in great shape. It's not like SS has ever had the same situation that SNL had in the 80's where things were that bad that the show almost...

It's chicken and egg, really. Somehow, they found out he became popular and they started pushing him. But it wasn't a forceful "Till Death" push, where no one was biting. Abby almost was, unlike Elmo. I once had a writing teacher tell me that kids specifically like 2 kinds of characters over...

I hope there isn't too much throwback to the TV show. The last movie was really Muppet buffet style, trying to get as many references and concepts from as much Muppet Media as possible, and it needed that to be a successful comeback. However, this film needs to focus on the film's plot first...

It would have been nice if Marvel put the slightest effort into notifying anyone to the releases of the comic and the novel. At the very least, previews on Comic Book Resources, so we knew when the things were due in stores. Like I said, the ironic bad thing about the Disney/Marvel is that...

This really bugs me. Have you ever noticed how certain manchildren fanboys always whine about how some new version of a show they watched that has an anime look to it when the original show was animated in Japan to begin with? I'm specifically referring to Transformers Animated and the reboot...

I'm more surprised that we didn't hear about this project at least a year in advance before it didn't happen.

The more I think about it, the more I like that decision. Janice should be older than the other characters. I'd always feel that if the Electric Mayhem were introduced, They'd be quite a bit older than the Muppet main cast. If there's one thing I have to admit to not liking about Muppet...

The evil twin trope is most used in Soap Operas. That's pretty far from kiddy. Let's see how it plays out.

Nothing could be healthier. If I don't let my anger out, I could have a massive coronary or aneurism from bottling it in. Plus, I find that if you tend to not go after the big stuff, you'll freak out over the small stuff. Youtube is where immaturity and stupidity go to breed. Heck, any...

Kids do like other characters besides Elmo. Just because he's the most famous of the group doesn't mean everyone likes him. Elmo's just the everyman character, as the show's age demographic is around the same age. But It really looks like Cookie Monster has made a co0meback in recent years...

He's back at it.

I don't really see cute. Cuteness of concept, but I don't think it's playful enough to warrant a cute. It's a straight faced, overly groomed business man wearing a Santa Claus tie the Christmas he decides to work at the office because he's in almost a jovial mood. It reminds me more of Eek...

I'll give it this, though. It's really a double edged sword to get the plot details over a year before the film. We know the direction the story is going to take, but we ruin the surprise of what the story is before we see it. Remember when the original script was leaked and it said that it...
