    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well, the whole thing is great, even with a limited cast and no inserts from the show. The video includes parodies of Super Mario Bros., Angry Birds, Dance Dance Revolution, Rock Band, Pac-Man, and World of Warcraft. It also includes a racing game sequence, which I'm not sure if it's based on...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I bought the "Elmo's Alphabet Challenge" DVD today. Watching it right now, and it's great so far. Elmo, Abby, and Telly kinda look like well-made toys in their computer animated form (maybe not Palisades-quality, but close). As far as I can tell, this release doesn't have any clips from the...

    Saving Hooper's Store

    And now for some info on the planning for this story! A few years ago, at least as far back as 2009, I had a desire to do a story where Hooper's Store was affected by the economy. In fact I also wanted to do a story where the Muppet Theater was affected by the economy as well (I can't...

    "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story" documentary in development

    No, The Walt Disney Company owns that special, and Lionsgate has the current video rights to stuff from The Jim Henson Company. And while Lionsgate does take down YouTube videos of material it holds video rights to, a film company would need to clear rights before using clips. Not sure if they'd...

    Favorite Season of the Muppet Show

    My three favorites are the first, third, and fifth. I like the raw feel of the first season. In fact this is something I like about many first seasons. I guess I can see why others dislike it, probably for reasons I like. But it's so much fun, seeing less-than-perfect versions of characters...

    "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story" documentary in development

    I've checked the Kickstarter page, and saw that they need nearly $12,000 more before reaching their goal! Just thought about something: It's been said that one of the incentives for pledging money is a copy of the film's soundtrack. Will this be all original music composed for the film, or...
