    Dinosaurs Finale

    And before Dinosaurs and South Park was Britian's Spitting Image. AMAZING Show. It's one of my top favorites. I must be the only American who knows about it. I own almost every episode but it's such a rare show. And it was huge on Britian. It was from 1984-1996. And the only thing simular to the...

    Struggling with friends as an artist

    Yeah, I think I can totally relate to that. I think my friend is just plain jellious as well an a conartist. And I knew this guy for 5 years laughing and having fun and he keep telling me how talented I am at puppetry, and animation and how funny I am and how he writes comedy movies and if I...

    Struggling with friends as an artist

    Don't worry, it's okay. lol But yeah, I hear ya. I've always struggled with social life myself. Even though my sense of humor is very spontaneous, cartoony and satirically dark at times. lol And I just get so bored with people in life because of how they are. Interoverted or sensing serious...

    Struggling with friends as an artist

    Yeah thanks guys. :) Yeah I totally agree with Jim Henson in terms of following your dreams and believing yourself. I remember I recently read a quote from Jim Henson in terms of working with Jerry Juhl. "I find I work best if I can work with someone—talking things over as ideas come up. I do...

    Struggling with friends as an artist

    Yeah, thank you for the advice. I want to be careful with some of the biz a little bit, lots of people like to put artists down and work as the boss of an artist's own creation.

    Struggling with friends as an artist

    Hi everyone, I rare if ever used this part of the forum, I'm not sure if this belongs in general discussion or here but I feel like I need some people to relate to in my life. Jim Henson is my #1 hero and just so amazed on how he was a creative artist who came up with loads of ideas and worked...

    Dinosaurs Finale

    I've got a copy of The Works, in fact probably almost every Jim Henson Biography book or footage. lol I totally got to read the whole book. I got the book when I was at Disney world back in 1996 when I was a kid because I used to check it out of the library all the time and just fascinated by...

    If Jim was still around, what advice would he give for young filmmakers, media business, etc

    One of the many things that I admire about Jim Henson was his business sense. He was a really hard worker, worked long hours and just a idea machine coming up with a bunch of ideas and trying to pitch stuff endlessly. Also when he was making movies and stuff, most directors would get ticked off...

    What did you think of The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss?

    I loved the show personally. I remember it came out around the time of Muppets Tonight. I was quite a young Muppet fan plus a big fan of Nickelodeon in which the 90s were the best time to be a kid ever. I remember hearing about it and being very mad at first, thinking the Dr. Suess company was...

    Dinosaurs Finale

    It's hard to say. I know that Dinosaurs was Jim's idea and it was suppose to be made in 1990 but due to his unexpected passing, it was moved to 1991. I'm just curious how far he got in terms of ideas for the show. According to the dvd sets, I remember hearing that Jim Henson wanted a half sitcom...

    Wanted: Uncut CBS Muppet Pitch Reel 1975

    Just curious if anyone ever found the uncut Muppet Show pitch reel with the ending with Kermit in front of a green CBS logo saying "what the h*** was that about" yet? I know the cut version is on The Muppet Show Season 1 DVD set (which I own) though if anyone has the uncut version, please...

    I'm showing that footage to my best friend this weekend, love to see his reaction. He's slowly becoming a Muppet fan.

    Jim Henson with Kermit and Rowlf on Arsenio Hall (1990)

    I just watched the video on the Muppet wiki account on YouTube. I was laughing like crazy over the edgy jokes about Kermit and Miss Piggy's on and off relationship to but it cleanly. lol And hearing Rowlf say Son of a B...., I was like cheering like crazy laughing like crazy. I sent it to all my...

    Mocap Puppetry

    Hi, I'm thinking of looking into Mocap (Motion Capture) Puppetry basicly because even though equipment is expensive you would never need to worry about foam wearing out and rebuilding and the cost of building a cast of characters. Here's my idea on how it would work. Make a foam puppet skeleton...

    Steve Whitmire contact info

    Pretty Cool. He was a character from The Jim Henson Hour. So technically the puppet must have been 10 years old since Muppets From Space was from 1999 and the Jim Henson Hour was from 1989. Was that the original puppet or was he rebuilt or fixed up or something, you know since puppets made of...

    History Of (The New Henson Satire Show)

    I've that about The Jim Henson Company, ever since they sold The Muppets, they don't really have much left. Just the Fantasy films and Fraggle Rock which of course production is already done with them. I think the only new projects that I liked from them is Tinseltown and Puppet Up (aka Stuffed...

    Is Fozzie Bear EVIL???

    It's political correctness that sort of ruined cool slapstick stuff like that unfortunately. Imagine people complaining about The Swedish Chef. LOL It kind of reminded me of the story about the University teacher who came to England and he sent a complaint to The Muppet Show about how The...

    Is Fozzie Bear EVIL???

    I'm so glad he's back in The Muppets. Explosions is one of The Muppets greatest trademarks next to Monsters. LOL I wonder why he wasn't on Muppets Tonight (besides a cameo in the first episode) there was tons of explosions on there. LOL
