I can't help but wonder if including an image of Muppy on the Rufus page might have been done on purpose, as a joke on how the book says they hate being mistaken for each other. Though if it was a joke, it's probably lost on casual readers who don't even know either character. I know that...

It seems like the recent Metlife commercials with the Peanuts characters aren't that funny, either (I can't remember if the older ones from Schultz's lifetime were, but at least the ones I can remember were enjoyable). Like one where Lucy suggests that insurance be 5 cents, and Charlie Brown...

It seems like the "main image" of some characters isn't really the right image for their main image. Somebody already pointed out that the main image of Hilda was of her in a wig, but also: the main image of Rufus is of him wearing a bus drivers cap which covers his eyes (and the other picture...

On May 6, there'll be a release called "Alphabet Songs", with songs for every letter of the alphabet, as well as "Learning Letters with Elmo" as a bonus feature (I would have included an older alphabet video). Muppet Wiki lists a few of the songs, including U Really Got a Hold of Me (the...

Maybe she's not a real cook. And maybe the whole crew aren't good enough cooks to notice that, either.

After a week of Constantine in the game, I have finally found and captured him twice. Finding him has been easier than I expected (unless he's hidden so well more times than I'm aware of). I expected him to slightly creep parts of his body from behind objects, but every time I found him, his...

I would expect a "second edition" to include most of the same content but also more characters and maybe updated info. I would expect a second volume to just have characters not in the first. That's why I thought a second edition would be more likely. A second edition would still have all the...

I'd be surprised if we got a volume 2. I could see an expanded edition, with the characters Disney wouldn't allow (or, more likely, characters who get introduced in a future). I read that Craig Shemin made a list of characters he wanted to include, with Disney shortening the list for various...

All this talk about Garfield not having a lot of characters makes me think, if Bill Watterson had licensed Calvin and Hobbes, most of the toys would probably be of the title characters.

That was great. Wasn't expecting that kind of closing sequence. If the show was picked up, I wonder if it would have regularly had Kermit just barely avoiding getting hit by all those doors, or if maybe we'd just see the doors and credits. I wonder if it was a challenge to do that without...

Looking at some Toughpigs posts, I read that Craig Shemin said that the reason most Jim Henson Hour characters weren't included was because the rights were so murky that it'd likely never get a home video release. So I guess the lack of those characters was because the fans might not be able to...

A lot of people criticize the Garfield comic strip for being overly-merchandised, and I think Jim Davis has admitted that he wanted the character to be marketable. But if licensing was really important to Jim Davis, shouldn't there have been more characters in the comic strip? The main...

Is it just me, or did the Peanuts specials become more "kiddie" in the 1990s? I haven't seen any of the '90s specials in years, but I remember "It's Spring Training, Charlie Brown" being a bit more juvenile (especially with that one song), while I haven't seen it It's My Best Birthday Ever...

After reading the Junior Novel and watching all the footage and such that's been online, I'd like to make lists of similarities between this and The Great Muppet Caper, and simialrities between this and The Muppets Take Manhattan. Maybe that'd be better to do after I see the finished movie, as...

Well, after all the recent commercials and such, I'd say Disney is doing everything right more than they did when this thread started.

I don't see it as similar to Hey a Movie (except for the brief cameo by Dominique, which is similar and sorta-random to Nickey Holiday's cameo in that number). It looks more like a cross between "Right Where We Belong" and "Miss Piggy's Fantasy". Actually, after listening to the song in my head...

I read on the Tough Pigs forum that Craig Shemin recently revealed that he wanted to include Spamela Hamderson, but Disney said no because the company was afraid Pamela Anderson would sue. But she's a parody, Pamela Anderson could really sue over it? Was Disney afraid of such a lawsuit when they...

People have been speculating whether all the characters in The Muppets Character Encyclopedia will be in this, and have pointed out characters who don't appear in the book. I must point out that those flamingos aren't in the book.

In the section on Whatnots, I noticed two who look like Zeke. One is dressed as a jungle man, without sunglasses (and his eyes there look like Zeke's eyes in Rocky Mountain Holiday), appearing with a jungle girl who looks like Lou. And then Zeke is shown dressed in a leather jacket. There's...

It says that throughout post-production of The Muppets Take Manhattan, Frank Oz kept asking Jim to have the opening credits say "A Frank Oz Film", and Jim just saying "we'll see" before he finally got what he wanted. But most films have "A (directors name) Film" before the title. I wonder why...
