    "The Muppets" first preview screening

    And as far as I can tell not much of what's been revealed in this thread has been posted in other threads. I've done my best not to mention information only found here and no other review or article, and we should probably try not to until the movie comes out (unless it's mentioned in an article...

    "The Muppets" first preview screening

    I'm liking what I've been reading in this thread and in the reviews posted. Regarding that list of characters in order of most-to-least screentime, I am a little surprised, though I guess some of it is subjective in determining (especially after only one viewing). And I guess it doesn't...

    Old School DVD set ideas

    I was thinking of a three-disc set idea last night (though I doubt Warner Home Video would release more than two discs). It would be more like 40 Years of Sunny Days and Best of Sesame Street Spoofs, where the classics and the recent stuff and in-between would be mixed, and could have any kind...

    The Muppets at D23 Expo 2011

    Wow, they actually shot footage from the first season Raggmopp segment? I don't know if it appeared in the 60 Minutes behind-the-scenes appearance or Of Muppets and Men, but I find it odd that a first season segment had behind-the-scenes footage.

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Most fans refer to the series as Rocky and Bullwinkle, and of course the main segments are titled "The Adventures of Bullwinkle and Rocky", so I find it odd that both titles for the series itself only listed one characters name. Seems Rocky and Bullwinkle were equal as a duo from the start, the...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    It seems the Buena Vista tapes didn't really have any structure, aside from editing the storylines into four or five chapters (usually just combining the end of one chapter with the recap at the beginning of the next, though "La Grande Moose" cut an entire chapter or two from Box Top Robbery)...

    "The Muppets" first preview screening

    I remember a few years ago I had a dream where I saw the end credits and it was done like the end credits to The Simpsons Movie. I won't have a problem with credits like that. I wonder how many of the minor characters with lines will be listed in the credits. I don't expect any silent...

    How is Bobo operated?

    I think The Muppets Take Manhattan is the only time he was used as a full-body character, long before he became ana ctual character. He migth have been seen in full-body form in Mr. Willoby's Christmas Tree. I think I read somewhere long ago that Bill Baretta wears something for support which...

    If "The Muppets" is a success: What's next?

    I hope that Pepe continues to be a main character after the new movie. Rizzo, too. Though I seem to notice a trend when it comes to the Muppets Tonight characters being integrated with the classic characters. At first, the Muppets Tonight characters who continued to be used were Pepe...

    "The Muppets" first preview screening

    Seems like since "Muppets From Space", whenever there's been a new production we've been expecting recasts and many lines from those who have needed to be recasts, and often it's seemed like a let-down. While Rowlf, Scooter, and Dr. Teeth got dialogue in MFS, it was all one line or less. And...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I was looking at the Muppet Wiki page for the upcoming "Bye Bye Pacifire" release, and it includes an official product description. I noticed this line at the beginning of the description: "Becoming a big kid can be hard sometimes. For a young child it can be tough to give up a binky, learn to...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I was watching the Maybe Dick storyline recently, and notice at one point, two fish versions of Chauncy and Edward do their "That's something you don't see everyday..." routine, regarding the characters going into some sort of cave, and one of them says, "I don't know. This is the Rocky Show"...

    "The Muppets" first preview screening

    It was widely sourced. Sometime after the trailer came out I saw a quote from somebody who worked on the movie, saying most of the stuff in the trailer was already cut from the film. I don't really remember anything in the trailer that didn't make the film, aside from a shot of Itchy as a...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    About a year ago I asked on the Toonzone forums why one of the syndication packages was called The Rocky Show as opposed to Rocky and His Friends, and was told that it was because the syndication package started when the show was still in production, and at the time most shows were retitled if...

    "The Muppets" first preview screening

    Considering Link and Strangepork don't have any lines, I guess that means there are no new Pigs in Space sketches in the movie. Are any recurring sketches from The Muppet Show represented with any new sketches in the movie? I would have expected the jail scene to be a big plot point somehow...

    I think it was previously confirmed that many classic Muppet songs would be featured.

    Opinions: The end of the Muppet line

    That seems to be the only instance where part of a duo or group of characters was started but never finished. Though we did get Polly Lobster (as a pack-in with Captain Smollet) but not Mad Monty or Clueless Morgan. In fact I wish we got at least a few more Muppet Treasure Island figures. And...
