About the a,e,i,o,u thing. If you watch the actual muppeteer's work and even of the big man himself, Jim Henson, they don't seem to really be that uptight about that kind of stuff. A lot of times I am shocked at some of the puppeteering and lip syncing the pros have performed. I know my...

Here are some pictures we took at the Vision of Jim Henson exhibit. !!!http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RgAAANgUpNfKHGe5iJAYZ3TidHfp6CkcTuaN!y0AYPEQMKozQNoQdE2!vhBhW!42HLXrhvyeJ2xOE6Jk94YlU9qcszbHHihtAzFyIbb4kg4/File0002.jpg?dc=4675452388341736446 Here are the aliens I was talking about...

Kermit's Christmas Diary Does anyone remember what magazine this came out of? I ripped the whole thing out of a magazine when I was a kid, but don't remember which magazine it was. Also, if anyone has a problem with copyright issues, just let me know and I'll delete it. I only uploaded the...

Okay, I'll post some pictures as soon as I figure out what I can use as an image host. Or maybe I'll just make a new web page and link it here so everyone can go to the page and check the pictures out. I'll let you know when it's done.

Wow! Thanks for the info, Jinx! I couldn't believe it when you said 1986! When I was there, I don't think they had the arm rods anymore. Infact I'm sure they didn't. I have pictures I took of the exhibit. I can't remember, but I think I have a picture of the aliens. I could post some pictures if...

I ask because I had the chance to work the puppets (not sure if they were 'real' muppets. I'm guessing they were, but they sure did look beat up.) at the Vision of Jim Henson exhibit when it was in St. Paul a year or two ago. They were the alien puppets that were bolted down onto the alien...

Need to bump this up and get this going so we have it by next year. Need more interest. I'm surprised more people do not want this special on DVD.

I just have to ask. What exactly are Wacky Stacks?

My favorite is definitely muppetry. :)

That's a great idea! I forgot about The Secret Life of Toys. I have never seen an episode, but have heard of them. Henson? Columbia? Are you listening???(We know you are. :) )

I love it. It has a real warm feeling about it. The house it takes place in just seems so cozy. Kind of reminds me of my Grandma's old house. The story takes place on Christmas Eve and the feeling of it being Christmas Eve just beams throughout the whole special. That's why I would really love...

Put me down as also looking for a copy of this show. It was my favorite. I also have an audio tape of the show. That's all I could do to record it when I was a kid. We didn't have VCRs then. I'm really surprised and disappointed this hasn't been released on VHS or DVD at some point in the last...

So when I get my job with JHC, I'll have to move to CA then? :) It's sad to see the end of an era come to pass though.

I just needed to reiterate at this time of the year my desire to see The Christmas Toy make it to region 1 DVD by next Christmas. Who's with me? Please post in support of this Jim Henson classic being released on region 1 DVD for US consumers. Thanks!

Superbit version? What is superbit supposed to be? This is different than the version that was sold with Dark Crystal?

Is there anybody at Columbia we could contact to request A Christmas Toy on DVD for the US? Anybody have a contact?

Wow. I think I have all the newsletters, but am not sure if I have the record. I seem to remember something with the muppets on it welcoming you, but that might be false memories. Did everyone that joined the fan club get one? I have my certificate, but think my membership card got ruined. Dangit.

Is there anything we can do to pursuade Columbia into releasing A Christmas Toy on DVD in the US? I'd hate to just sit and do nothing every year and just hope they release it, only to have another year pass by without it on DVD.

I see one guy has bought two of them. Seems to always get them for 200 bucks even. How are his puppets? Do they feel very muppety? That's got to be the closest thing to the real deal you can buy. I always want to go deep into the world of making my own muppet style puppets, but just don't have...

You think a Carol Spinney dream is weird. I had a dream I had when I was 8 that I will never forget. Bert was standing behind my bed against the wall as if someone were performing him, but I thought he was real as there could not have been enough room for a performer to be working him. He...
