Check it out Sesame fans ~ http://www.elmoandfriends.com

I know that some of these shows aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I posted a link in my blog today to this article about some of the more "rude" puppetry projects out there.

A few months back I posted what I thought was the best (or maybe funniest) ebay auction ever. Here's what I think is quite possibly the runner up ~ http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3701347648

My step-son was home today because of a school holiday. We flicked on Sesame for a few minutes and were assaulted with Aaron and Nick Carter singing along with Elmo. My step-son jumped up and started screaming "NOOOO! That's not right! That's not right!" It was like watching the first three...

Hey everyone, Conan O'Brien begins the first of four special shows taped here in Toronto tonight at 12:35 am on NBC. Looks like it is going to be a great week. He's got some great Canadian guests lined up like Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, Nickelback and the Barenaked Ladies. He's also been busy...

It's great that `ol Dubbya promotes trade among the nations of the world, but as this story I saw on Scott McCloud's blog illustrates, sometimes that can backfire!

Hey gang, I recently heard about something called "Muppet Time." I don't know much about it, except that Andy and Randy Pig were in it. It's possibly from the early 90s and I think it pre-dates "Muppet Classic Theatre." Anyone have any info? Thanks!

OK here's something very cool if you're a fan of "Angel" (which I am) with apologies to Ryan R from the Tough Pigs Forum, where I lifted this info from: When a popular children’s show begins to steal the life forces of children by hypnotizing them, Angel (David Boreanaz) goes directly to the...

Found some stills from this movie. Looks...well...guess we should wait `til it comes out to pass judgement :confused: I think it's a retro "Brady Bunch" type movie. It's either going to work really well or not at all. Check it out ~ http://www.darkhorizons.com/2004/thunderbirds.php

Here's another puppet opportunity, this time for someone in England: I am surrently studying Theatre Design in Wimbeldon School of Art. I am working for my own puppet show at this moment and I need a puppeteer to help me out. This is my final project and will be fun!! My show is based on...

Yup, looks like it's official - come 2006 Pixar is striking out on it's own. For all the details go to http://money.cnn.com/2004/01/29/news/companies/pixar_disney/

Not sure how this slipped by me, but the Globe and Mail up here ran a detailed article about the Grogs, the guys who created Nana'lan - the Canadian preschool show I'm always raving on about. It's simply one of the most brilliant things to come along since the Muppet Show. I've copied the...

OK, I'm not sure exactly what this is from the email I received about it, but there is some kind of puppet event, festival or happening coming up at Sugar Sand Park in Boca Raton. The South Florida Puppet Guild (a PofA affliated guild) is involved and they are trying to make it a success so it...

Canada's Treehouse channel is launching a brand new puppet series called "Igloo Gloo" about two baby seals, Snowflake and Snowball, and their adventures south of the Arctic Circle. The series begins airing Feb. 2nd but I'm not sure what time it is on. Treehouse usually runs the same episode(s)...

Yes, that's right - Rocko, Bill, Buttons, and Cuddles are back on TV with 13 new episodes of Puppets Who Kill on Canada's Comedy Network. New episodes begin this week, Friday at 10pm. As far as I know the show doesn't air outside of Canada yet, so to see what it's all about check out...

Has anyone else heard that the Creature Shop is working on this movie? A site called "Magrathea" has posted some pics of a fitting for Marvin (Warwick Davis). In them he's trying on a prototype costume. Here's the link ~ http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mjs2000/protomarvin.htm
