    Kukla Fran & Ollie fans?

    This is very true. Ollie the Dragon was the only puppet with a mouth that opened and Burr did not really do "lip sync". Even as a kid, this always bothered me. But not enough not to be a fan. And I'm certain that's because of the characters. As I recall, one of his characters talked in...

    A big holla to my friends from the Muppeteer auditions

    Well, I found out where he is -- The Teddy Bear Museum in Stratford-On-Avon in England. They claim he is the "original" Fozzie and was a gift from Jim Henson. Unfortunately, I can't find that picture... or any picture for that matter. :p

    Pixar Vs. Dreamworks

    Disney not only doesn't have any 2-D features on the drawing board, they laid off all of the 2-D artists who didn't convert. In fact, even their direct-to-video features are now going to be all 3-D. They closed the Australian Studio that did such nice work on some of those videos. Home...

    99 Twice... What are the odds??

    There are two members who are 99 years old today!! What are the chances of that happening... ... unless their names are Statler and Waldorf. :p

    Boy, that's not all that's wrong with that new Fozzie. It would take less space to list what's RIGHT about him! :p

    Yes. It's what's left of Disney Feature Animation. :p

    A big holla to my friends from the Muppeteer auditions

    Okay, I finally have an appropriate place to ask... What is up with Fozzie in that avatar??? Has he become anorexic? It's terrible when puppets become anorexic. It's a national tragedy and not enough is being done about it. :p

    Fraggle Puppets

    J'ever see those tribal women with their lips stretched waaaaaaaaay out? Those are mouth plates. :crazy: :p

    Hey Tom, That's an amazing looking puppet in your avatar! Is it foam? :p

    Removeable Facial parts

    Well, it might have been velcro in the 80's and beyond, but before that, often it was just double-stick tape. In the case of Bert's nose, which Ernie would sometimes pull off, it was just held on with T-pins. :p

    Kermit's 50th Anniversary World Tour

    Um... They do realize that Kermit is a hand puppet that's about a foot tall, don't they? How do they expect 30,000 people to see him? :p

    What is available at the Muppet Vision gift shop?

    When we were at the Muppet auditions, there was a guy there who was playing the Genie in the live Aladdin show. He told us about the Snow White show closing, but didn't mention anything about them remodeling the theatre. :p

    What Kind of Project Are You Working on Right Now?

    I used to go out to the set in between when they were shooting the show. It used to be on a property called Fox Ranch, owned by 20th Century Fox. During the run of the show, Fox sold the property to the state and it became Malibu Creek State Park, but Fox was still allowed to shoot the series...

    Pixar Vs. Dreamworks

    I didn't dislike "A Bug's Life". I just don't think it's as good as the rest of their films. :p

    Pixar Vs. Dreamworks

    Pixar hasn't had a failure yet... at least not at the box office. Even "A Bug's Life" is number 112 on the All-Time Box Office Grosses Chart. :p
