It's often said that The Muppet Movie was a huge risk because there hadn't been a movie like that before. I assume they meant there hadn't been a puppet movie like that before (I know there was an H.R. Puffenstuff movie, but is that counted more as a puppet show or a walk-around costumes show?)...

In 13 Going on 30, the main character stops being friends with her best friend right before magically turning 30, and shortly after being in her 30-year-old life, seeks him out and is surprised that she stopped talking to him since. But her memory skipped all those years, shouldn't she have...

I recall there being a thread about this a long time ago, back in 2002-ish.

One thing about Brett McKenzie's tracks is that it's easier to understand certain parts of songs that were hard to understand (I know, I could have just read the lyrics...). It's weird how in Something So Right that other characters also wonder why something so right feels so wrong. I...

Did you ask him anything else about the book (no, I'm not asking what)?

The Muppet Mindset posted part 1 of a two-part interview with Craig Shemin today, and he revealed that the book was originally going to be marketed towards kids as opposed to all fan demographics. If it were just going to be for the kids, I wonder how many characters would have been included. I...

Rocky and Bullwinkle Series 1: Rocky with pool of water. Bullwinkle with pile of box tops, banana, mattress of money, and Ruby Yact. Boris Badenov with hat, gas gun, and bomb. Natasha Fatale with cigarette holder, switch blade nail file, and sticks of dynamite. Repaint Variant: Natasha Fatale...

I noticed that the end credits for Muppets Most Wanted had a "puppets by Jim Henson's Creature Shop" (in addition to credits for Puppet Heap and the Muppet Workshop... In fact I think the Muppet Workshop got a credit in The Muppets as well, and I feel like I'd already brought this up a few years...

Yeah, that Monsters University short was great, especially the ending.

One thing I thought of: The winner gets to work for Jim Henson's Creature Shop, yet in the past decade it's been hard for the company to get any non-CG projects made. Hopefully the company will be able to provide a project for the winner to work on. In the past few years has the creature shop...

Even though I've seen the movie and know that Tina Fey is in her Russian guard clothing during "The Big House", when I listen to the song on the album, I keep picturing her singing it in a much sexier outfit. Not as sexy as what Raquel Welch wore in her opening number, or any of the skimpy...

I was wrong, one of them is named Monolo, not Alonzo. The Muppets felt like one of the most modern of the Muppet films (along with The Muppets Take Manhattan), but Muppets Most Wanted doesn't feel too modern. For example, when Constantine watches Kermit footage, he watches VHS tapes instead...

Top ten Muppet productions I find "so okay it's average". 1. John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together 2. Rocky Mountain Holiday 3. Sing-Along Dance-Along Do-Along (even as a kid I sort of felt this way) 4. Lady Gaga and the Muppets Holiday Spectacular (at least the Muppet portions) 5...

I wonder if the "thingy thing" (I'll accept calling it that, at least until we find design sketches or script info on what it was originally called) from the Hugga Wugga number was rebuilt or not (I would think that puppet would be in poor shape after all these years, but it had previously only...

It'd be great if Henson and Disney would collaborate on a project celebrating the anniversary of the Jim Henson Company and the Muppets. Back when the Muppets were sold, I thought the chances of a new biography of Jim Henson would be slim, because it'd be incomplete without the Muppets (which...

I wasn't really counting movies and such where they play characters from existing stories.

Since it was included in the trailers, I had not had a problem with Scooter singing "Moves Like Jagger", but when I got the album, the first few times I listened to it I didn't feel like listening to the whole song and kept skipping to the next track (so many better songs on the album... I've...
