I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but Steve has opened up about his firing in a interview with The Hollywood Reporter. He claims he fired for two reasons: being uncooperative because he disagreed with a script of the canceled Muppets series in which Kermit lies to his nephew Robin that...

I just heard the news about ten minutes ago. I am in shock. I was born after Jim Henson's death so Steve Whitmire was the Kermit the Frog that I grew with. Like everyone else, I'm curious who will take the rest of Steve's characters. Nevertheless, I do hope Matt Vogel does justice to Kermit for...

I wish I could be there to experience it up close, but here's an interview Frank Oz recently did with Variety before the premiere. He talks about his opinion on the latest Muppet projects, his current involvement with the Muppets, and Star Wars.

Oh yeah, I love his cameos in those two as well. And Jerry Nelson's cameo during a Season 40 episode is one of my favorites: Steve Whitmire's cameo as the hippie "Rainbow" in Muppets from Space was very clever.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice It took me almost a year to get around to seeing it because of the strong negative reviews. As it turns out, I liked it more than I thought I would. However, the narrative was all over the place with too many subplots going on. The color grading of the film...

I'll try to make this a short, quick review: The characters were blandly written without much personality or flavor to them. I like what they were trying to do with Jyn Erso being a criminal separate from the wide-eyed, naive Luke Skywalker and Rey, but I didn't connect with any of the...

I love Jim Henson's cameo in The Great Muppet Caper. It took me years to find out that the biker that throws Fozzie towards the piano at the saloon in The Muppet Movie was actually Frank Oz. That was a great cameo.

Rest in peace, Florence. Her Muppet Show episode was always one of my favorites. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to her television and real family and friends.

Like everyone said, I was underwhelmed by their performance. I was upsetting and disappointing that Elmo sang the entirety of the song, and there were no solo lines for the other characters especially Big Bird. I noticed Alan dancing off to the side, though. Oh well, there's always next year.

I first heard about Turkey Hollow rather late, which was from an advertisement on IMDb on Friday night. Overall, it was very enjoyable, though it doesn't reach the heights of the previous Henson-produced holiday specials like Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas, A Muppet Family Christmas, and The...

Much like D'Snowth wrote, the content of the documentary was very much like Brian Jay Jones's Jim Henson: The Biography. It was very notable where Jones was re-explaining Jim's early childhood, the loss of his brother Paul, and his early works on television for the most part. I did have a...

I just found out the news, and Variety is confirming Manzano's departure. While Maria has hardly been used in the recent seasons because of Chris and the younger cast members, I thank Mrs. Manzano for the memories, teaching us the alphabets and numbers, and portraying a positive Hispanic...

As a history bookworm, I watched The Sixties last summer, and thoroughly enjoyed it. That and the binge-watching of Mad Men really torn down the illusion for me that the 1960s were a happier, simpler time that some people make it out to be. I am really appreciating the follow-up, The Seventies...

That was Eric Jacobson performing Grover in that segment. However, the fact that you confused his voice with Frank's voice shows how well Eric has stepped up on performing the characters.

This is great news, and hopefully his involvement speeds up production since a Fraggle Rock movie has been in development almost coming up to ten years now. I always liked Joseph Gordon-Levitt ever since I first watched him in Angels in the Outfield, and his resurgence with (500) Days of Summer...

The trailer has been uploaded on YouTube since yesterday: Judging by the clips I've seen and the trailer itself, I am hyped to see the documentary and learn more about Caroll Spinney's private life and career with Sesame Street.

I noticed I misspelt their names, so I corrected it in my edited review at the bottom since the time limit to editing my previous post expired so here's the complete version:

My favorite character is the title character herself. I love Mulan, and it was my third favorite animated Disney film behind The Lion King and Tarzan growing up. I once had the 1999 VHS edition of it, but I lost it when I left it behind at my elementary school when I brought the VHS for my...

Happy Birthday, Carol! Thank you for still performing Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch for the past 45 years and more to come! You are a living testament that age is just a number!

Rest in peace, Gerard! You lived a long and full life, and it's always a miracle in this day and age for someone to reach 90 or more years of life. My deepest prayers and sympathies go out to his partner, closest relatives, and personal and professional friends.
