Not to get too off-topic, but I was watching that scene recently, and noticed that when the Muppets give the secretary the script, even though she just chuckles and shakes her head in rejection, it looks like she does keep the script. All this time I'd been under the impression that Kermit had...

When I started this thread I was thinking in terms of a typical TV documentary, not a biopic. More along the lines of the people he knew best talking about him, narraration of how he came to the company, behind-the-scenes footage of him performing (and clips of him from Of Muppets and Men and...

When we get closer to the movie, it would be great if The Disney Channel or ABC Family would show all of the Muppet movies on the nights leading up to the release. One Muppet movie a night before The Muppets comes out in theaters. And if they can't show all of the movies on those channels maybe...

I guess many of these are good points. Though it's been reported that Disney wants to avoid confusion as to who belongs to what company, and I would expect The Jim Henson Company to feel the same. I'm sure many casual fans still associate the Muppets, Sesame Street, and other Henson creations as...

Lately I've been wondering: Could Henson have decided to drop Lips during production of The Great Muppet Caper? I hope I worded that right. Lips appears throughout The Great Muppet Caper, as part of the main group, but there are quite a few group scenes where he's absent: The bicycle scene...

Some secretary she was, rejecting the script after only glancing at the cover (I know, Leonard Winestein threw the script in the garbage without even reading it as well, and Bernard Crawford would have probably rejected it as well).

I was just thinking about that recently. I've noticed that the copyrighted toys (Mr. Potatoe Head, Slinkey, and Barbie) have been left out of Toy Story 3 merchandice, though I recall seeing Mr. Potatoe Head and Slinkey Dog toys promoted as Toy Story toys back when the first movie came out (I...

Back when I first got a VHS copy of The Muppets Take Manhattan, and I had become familiar with some of the celebrities in the film, I thought that Art Carney played the role of the man who showed Kermit to his table at Sardi's. He was real skinney, like Carney was on The Honeymooners, and his...

If this line is successful, I'd like to see a "Sesame Street Old School" line, even if it's a big multi-pack collection of PVCs (smaller buddy packs would be better). Maybe repeat some of the main characters, but have them look like they're from the early 1970s (either resembling early puppet...

I have been thinking about that scene, and somehow I feel it would have been better if Bernard Crawford was shown in that scene as opposed to that woman (who I guess would either be his secretary or wife... or maybe both... but we'll never know). She just looks at the script, looks past the door...

Wow, I'd hate for a big coporation to steal my work and not acknowledge me. But I know that Disney did acknowledge copyrights for the various cartoon characters who appeared in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and the toys in Toy Story.

Over the years, there have been many Jim Henson documentaries, and Kevin Clash just recently got his own documentary. Which performers do you think would be best to get the documentary treatment next? We'll just assume that rights regarding characters and clips won't be a problem. I think...

I've noticed recently that when it comes to releasing past material featuring Henson creations owned by different companies, Sesame Workshop seems to be the only company to acknowledge the character copyright. When something with Kermit is shown on TV or included on a Sesame Street DVD, album...

I wonder if Clifford's presence in the movie would reference his hosting job on Muppets Tonight. Somehow that would seem appropriate, and almost similar to Michael Jordan's cameo in Looney Tunes: Back in Action (the director wanted that movie to be "the anti-Space Jam").

I wonder if Jason Segal and Nick Stoller have picked up on this. I expect Gary and Mary to be introduced at the start of The Muppets, but Chris Cooper's character very well could get a brief cameo before getting a proper introduction. And for some reason I can't quite remember if it's...

I'm thinking they should start with everybody who was a major character this past season: Big Bird, Elmo, Abby, Zoe, Rosita, Telly, Baby Bear, Ernie, Bert, Murray, Cookie Monster, Grover (perhaps in his Super Grover 2.0 form), Mr. Johnson, Two-Headed Monster, Mr. Snuffleupagus, The Count, and...

I've noticed something about the first three Muppet movies and Follow That Bird: For the most part when the main humans first appear on-screen, it's briefly, and we aren't really introduced to them until their next scene. Think about it: In TMM, we first see Max giving orders as Kermit rides...

Sounds interesting. Not sure if I'll buy them, but it's good to know we'll probably get the whole current Muppet cast at least. It'd be great if Herry Monster were included as well. I wonder if they'll all be sold at the same time or if some will be added over time.

I'm not a casual fan, but I've never noticed that before. Anyway, when it comes to scenes that might have flown past the radar, in the Carol Burnett episode there's a scene where Miss Piggy suggests inviting Kermit to her dressing room during the next rest period, and Kermit just ordered...
