I wonder if it really is because of Baretta wanting to focus on Rowlf and not the writers desire to focus on the classics. I would think he'd be more comfortable with the characters he originated.

I've heard that the marketing push starts six weeks before the movie comes out, but that doens't mean they couldn't announce more of the tie-in merchandise (well they did announce next years ornament).

I've noticed that while Statler and Waldorf were pretty much recast right away after Richard Hunt's casting, they weren't used much between 1993 and 1996. They were both recast in The Muppet Christmas Carol, having big parts and sounding nothing like they'd been known for (it sounds like Jerry...

Aside from those characters and the full-body monsters, I would have included all of Brian Henson's characters (and Johnny Fiama to be with Sal). Henson may not be performing in Disney's Muppet productions, but his characters wouldn't need to be heard in this. Actually, it seems like this...

And ironically, all three of those movies mentioned were directed by Tim Hill.

It's Letter L Day with Big Bird.

Really? The plot has been known for a few years now. It's been mentioned in Muppet Wiki, various press reports, the recent Ain't It Cool News reviews, and various other places. But to be repetitive, the plot is that the Muppets have split up for some time, and when Muppet fans Gary, Mary, and...

This was a very good music video, though I wish it had more characters. It seems it only had a few characters not in any of The Muppets trailers yet (Pops, Nigel, purple hunchback frackle). The ending was funny, but I feel it went on a little long (kind of like a routine on The Andy Milonakis...

Anybody know if these reprints have the issue numbers on them? Just something I'm wondering about (I'd check if I saw them in the stores, but I actually haven't yet). It would be great if Marvel would release The Four Seasons this year, and just not refer to any issue numbers (or they can, as...

This music video reminds me of the behind-the-scenes special for Weezer's "Keep Fishing" video, where they treat the Muppets like real people and avoid showing the performers. And both videos are for recordings that the Muppets didn't actually sing on (though in this case it's a cover of a song...

And as far as I can tell not much of what's been revealed in this thread has been posted in other threads. I've done my best not to mention information only found here and no other review or article, and we should probably try not to until the movie comes out (unless it's mentioned in an article...

I'm liking what I've been reading in this thread and in the reviews posted. Regarding that list of characters in order of most-to-least screentime, I am a little surprised, though I guess some of it is subjective in determining (especially after only one viewing). And I guess it doesn't...

I was thinking of a three-disc set idea last night (though I doubt Warner Home Video would release more than two discs). It would be more like 40 Years of Sunny Days and Best of Sesame Street Spoofs, where the classics and the recent stuff and in-between would be mixed, and could have any kind...

It's Letter R Day with Elmo.

Wow, they actually shot footage from the first season Raggmopp segment? I don't know if it appeared in the 60 Minutes behind-the-scenes appearance or Of Muppets and Men, but I find it odd that a first season segment had behind-the-scenes footage.

Most fans refer to the series as Rocky and Bullwinkle, and of course the main segments are titled "The Adventures of Bullwinkle and Rocky", so I find it odd that both titles for the series itself only listed one characters name. Seems Rocky and Bullwinkle were equal as a duo from the start, the...

It seems the Buena Vista tapes didn't really have any structure, aside from editing the storylines into four or five chapters (usually just combining the end of one chapter with the recap at the beginning of the next, though "La Grande Moose" cut an entire chapter or two from Box Top Robbery)...

I remember a few years ago I had a dream where I saw the end credits and it was done like the end credits to The Simpsons Movie. I won't have a problem with credits like that. I wonder how many of the minor characters with lines will be listed in the credits. I don't expect any silent...

I think The Muppets Take Manhattan is the only time he was used as a full-body character, long before he became ana ctual character. He migth have been seen in full-body form in Mr. Willoby's Christmas Tree. I think I read somewhere long ago that Bill Baretta wears something for support which...

I hope that Pepe continues to be a main character after the new movie. Rizzo, too. Though I seem to notice a trend when it comes to the Muppets Tonight characters being integrated with the classic characters. At first, the Muppets Tonight characters who continued to be used were Pepe...
