Don't forget that movie rights to movie clips change hands regularly so who knows who owns the rights to some of the old clips that are used in Muppet Babies. The first time ever that there is been a problem with the rights to "You Got A Friend In Me", from the Vincent Price episode of The...

Sorry, I did kinda ramble a bit. :o I wasn't refering to Muppet characters. I was refering to, in the case of Muppet Babies for example, during the opening sequence we have a short clip from Star Wars, would the copyright holder of that clip allow it to be used on a DVD release nowadays? All...

I understand what you are saying Marky. I would love to see stuff released sooner rather than later. I just get annoyed and irritated at the companies who hold such copyrights and sometimes just point blank refuse to let another company such as Disney use the song or clip or whatever that they...

Sorry about the last message. I seem to be replying to something to was bought up early in this thread. I think I must be a little slow! :smirk:

It seems that copyright control of certain characters, music samples and film or tv clips has gone crazy. Everything that is being released lately (in Muppet terms at least) is being cut because TriStar or Columbia or Disney or whoever cannot get the rights to show certain things that were...

When the Kermit replica is posed and photographed well, you will have a hard time distinguishing him from the real thing. I just hope this Gonzo prototype is as accurately mass produced!

I am still waiting for my Kermit. :boo: Seeing all your great photos makes me green with envy. So to speak. :) Has anyone thought of trying to find some Kermit-size props or clothing that could be used when photographing him? It'd be great if someone could make a replica trenchcoat and...

I think Disney might be leaving it as long as they can to get as much out of the first season set as possible. If both were on sale at the same time and in the DVD charts together, some people might be only tempted to buy the one (obviously not true Muppet fans like us tho ;) ) and Disney will...

If you listen to Frank's Fozzie in the early Muppet Show episodes (not necessarily the pilot voice with the John Wayne edge but once the first season had started) and then listen to Fozzie's voice during the 80s, he really softened it and lost a lot of the "roughness". Piggy's voice got deeper...

After seeing some of the photos posted I was a little worried how accurate the Kermit replica was to the REAl Kermit. Lab Rat, you have seriously eased my worries. Those photos could be the real thing if I didn't know better. I LOVE the other replicas you've got on Picturetrail. What's the deal...

Bear Man has hit the nail on the head! In the real world The Muppets might be popular but they are popular with the kind of people who laugh at them while they're on TV but wouldn't dream of spending money on any kind of Muppet merch. Of all the stuff the Jim Henson has done, how much of it has...

None of us know for sure whether Kermit will appear but I have heard that the complete first episode of SS is included on the DVD set and surely Kermit appeared in that originally? Let's just all keep our fingers (or flippers) crossed!

Good save! :p

That's kinda what I expected to be honest but people do tend to think they know differently on this forum sometimes! :p

Another thought. If the Gonzo replica is to be clothed (hopefully in his maroon tux or something similar) would it have been a good idea to provide Kermit with his reporters mac and trilby hat? Maybe they could make one to sell separately for those of us that are nostalgic about Kermit on SS. :)

The original Muppet posers, as weel as this new Kermit one, couldn't be much smaller than the original puppets. Anytime a poser has been photographed with a celebrity, like John Denver, Kermit looks as though he is the same size as he is when he on television with that same celebrity. The puppet...

It is mainly. Our friend Robin is very concerned that DIsney will not release season two as promised. I hope for all our sakes that he is wrong.

But rather than a another compliation show (see "I Love Muppets" "Best Of The Muppets" "A Celebration Of 30 Years") and all the other Muppet Show clips shows, I want to see the stuff in it's entirety. I don't want a 20 second clip of a Muppet Show episode or movie and then a description of it by...

Hey JJand Janice, don't forget the original opening sequences! Most Muppet Show re-releases featured the season three opening sequence no matter which season the episode was from. It's great to see these first shows (pretty much) in their entirety. :D

Kermit's 50th Anniversary was pretty much doomed from the start anyway. Most of the original Muppet performers have left and Disney would have real trouble getting them all back together again. When Jim died, he took the heart of The Muppets with him. I think the people closest to him have...
