Once again, there shouldn't be a problem with posting your dis-satisfaction with how Disney is handling the Muppets. Be honest, but be constructive. If the folks at Disney have two brain cells to rub together (and I'll bet they do), they'll absorb the information and put it to use. And...

To get back to my point from earlier: You don't need to rely on Hollywood any more. Look at the buzz generated by goofy crud on You Tube and several other video websites. If one was generating truly unique and entertaining stuff, it wouldnt be long until Hollywood came to YOU. I know that's...

Yes.. he really IS a slice&dice job.... but I gotta say that the convenience of STARTING with the Project Puppet patterns is beyond compare. I accomplished this puppet in two days. Flat. ABSOLUTELY worth the price of the patterns. No doubt. There's still a little finessing that needs to...

I think it's probably the best idea put forth so far. I think it has the best possibility of catching on and becoming "something"... meaning a weekly dose of Muppet mania. That'd be sweet. -Gordon

And so you've come perilously close to my underhanded scheme... You see... I'm not at all connected with JHC, MHC, Disney, or anything like that. But there are people out there who look at this board and ARE connected. You don't think for a moment that there aren't MHC people who read from...

Nope. That's a promise. I'm no one official or even connected. I'm just a puppet fan like you. -Gordon

Heeeeeey... wait just a goll-durned minnit there! ;) I'm the first against the wall when the revolution comes just fer asking "Who WANTS to be in charge???" Wow... harsh regime change! LOL!!! :) -Gordon

I am perfectly UN-qualified as a psychologist, but I personally think it has something to do with subliminally perceived danger. People sense the puppeteer is masking his activities behind the puppet. The puppet is there to distract while the puppeteer is working some other adgenda behind the...

I would posit that you don't see many younger fans around here because the majority of kids haven't been exposed to the Muppets (differentiated from Seasme Street Muppets) on a weekly basis like we were as kids. Here's a true story: The Transformers exist ONLY because Hasbro forced them onto...

Hey, you think you guys are disappointed? I'm a Disney Stockholder! LOL!!! -Gordon

hey all, I just submitted my character Batfink o the gallery at Project Puppet dot com. He's really a wild "chop shop" of the Punto puppet head pattern (which actually is most of his body.. not his head!) and the Glorified Sock Puppet pattern with some simple but major changes. I added...

All good ideas. Well put. Anyone else? -Gordon

LOL!! I knew that question would come up. No. I'm not. But I'm just curious about how many folks here actually have given serious thought to what it would take. Its a great fantasy... sitting at the "Big Desk". Would you, in your own opinion, actually be prepared for the task? And...

Nope. I'm talking full control. Corner office on the top floor. BUT with great power comes great responsibility. Would you be willing to run the entire zoo even if it meant potentially crashing and burning? Willing to not just be creative head, but RUN the Muppet organization? -Gordon

Of course, the footage from the Tribute to Jerry Juhl in Caspar, CA (Fraggle DVD set Season 2) nearly wrecked me. Not exactly a "muppet moment"... but close enough. I hope Jerry doesn't mind that I couldn't make it. -G

Gotta be the "You're FIRED, PIGGY!" scene on the original Muppet Show (when Piggy plants the fake story about she and kermit being secretly married). You can actually hear Kermit make the realization that he's hurting Piggy as he's screaming it. Ultimately it's a funny scene, but as Kermit is...

The results of the SNL stuff must have been a stab for Jim... one among many. He tried SO HARD to bring puppetry to adults in America and get them to accept it as something other than "kiddie stuff". His mission was always to try to elevate puppetry through the Muppets and the collateral they...

Cool..look forward to it! -G

Of course, and lets be truthful, there are plenty of people right here on this list that could do a very good job of running the zoo. While I like to maintain the fantasy that I might be one of them, I also know that the job would entail much more than just playing with puppets and being "the...

Disney will ONLY do good if it a) contributes to the bottom line and b) if it is already in their existing business model. The Muppets may not be either A or B. For them to be A, Disney will have to break B. And they've already proven that the Mupets are not B. Its completely up to...
