Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
I liked the realistic original looking eyes personally, the new ones scare me a little, lol. (Of course, a lot of things used to scare me on SS, despite my devotion!)
Btw, something I really enjoyed was the comparison to Walt Disney and Jim Henson. Disney is a big corporation and it's been awhile since they've done any big films. But I think it is important to remember the masterpieces they've made in the past. The two groups are definitely in the same...
I think we basically agree. The two of them would have a lot to talk about! And at least Gobo wouldn't try to make Scooter ride the Teacups at Disney World! ;) :smirk: It's nice to have debates though, it keeps the brain busy!
I was just wondering the other day, in the Muppets Take Manhattan...
Wow, I had forgotten this until now; when I was a kid I always figured Animal was just some kind of lion-type thing. He did have a mane and teeth after all! Lol
Good point, I think they put the title song in the middle sometimes with the idea that people will wait and listen to the rest of the album first. Otherwise, they'll just listen to the big title song first and say "Ok, I'm done!" Lol
Of course, whoever does that has apparently never heard of...
Oh yes, I do think they're alike in a lot of ways. They're both trying to prove how grown-up they can be. I imagine they would be able to offer each other moral support in these areas. And I hadn't noticed before that they both play guitar!
I'm trying to think of why Scooter just appears a...
Hmm, yeah that could work. I think Scooter would enjoy hanging out with Gobo more than say Bean Bunny (he clearly didn't enjoy bunny-sitting at Disney World!). They are closer to the same age. I can see them exchanging notes on their respective mentors (Traveling Matt and Kermit).
Although...
Interesting you say that, because a lot of people here often complain that guests like Elton John were showcased TOO much! ::shrugs::
(That's not my opinion, but just saying. :) )
I was thinking of this exchange from the musical Man of La Mancha. The main character essentially creates this image, this person of Don Quixote, who inspires people to be better than they are. The man eventually dies, but it's clear that the spirit he created would not. :)
SANCHO
He is dead...
Oh you mean that Scottish group's song? Lol, that would be interesting! :smirk: ;)
That's true, MN, about the symbolism of Scooter taking the lead in the song. They never got too deeply into it on The Muppet Show, but I always find Scooter and Kermit's dynamic interesting. I didn't see the...
On the other hand, there's the age old theory that Scooter's actually half human, half Fraggle! :smirk: ;)
Well the shirt's pretty multi-colored looking, so you could all be right. ::shrugs:: Either way, it definitely looks like something Jim would wear!
I'm also glad to hear the performers...
Loved the "Simon Smith" banter! One of those times when I really miss Frank, he's a brilliant performer.
"Just One Person," I knew it would be good, but it was even better than I imagined! After hearing so many different versions, it was great to heart Scooter take the lead. And when the...
Btw, Richard also gives the "Muppet Music Medley Intro", in case anyone misses it!
I noticed the flower part too, which was particularly touching knowing what Amanda had said about the peonies at their home.
Absolutely, it is so important to notice everything around you and appreciate it...
I know! I saw it too, I couldn't believe it! I think it's been on twice so far, at 7:30 in the morning. Just to see and hear it all again...I felt nostalgic for the rest of the day! I can't believe it's from 1995. And all the prizes they gave out, lol.
For coming in second place you...
