I think your reaction was totally natural. But I applaud your decision to let the book stand on its own for now.

Eeeep! Thanks for the warning, Alorin. I can't even believe that. I didn't recognize Sarah at all. And what's with Jareth's whole "You can change your clothes, Toby--I won't look" thing? I can't believe I've waited 20 years for this creepy mess. (shudder)

Wow, that's awesome about all the publicity it will be recieving! Also glad to hear that it will end up at most comic retailers. I guess I'm just used to my favorite Jim Henson movie being ignored by retailers of any kind (i.e., the Labyrinth shirts produced for Hot Topic but not available...

Thanks for posting this, Chibireaper! I knew that a manga was in the works, but didn't know that it was coming out in August. I guess that explains the "Return to Labyrinth" T-shirts that Henson.com is selling, and why there's a 20th-anniversary screening of the film in L.A. tonight. (I mean, a...

Welcome, all! Good to have you here. :)

I agree, Phillip. But remember that people here at MC said some nasty, hurtful, and unfair things about TPers first. That thread was a reaction to this one. I think this is a very touchy subject, and I agree that the whole matter should probably be dropped.

Dil, there's no need to shout. I was talking to others about the issue of who plays the characters on the show. Your question is valid too, but you can ask politely.

Well said, OverUnderAround! We all get worked up emotionally about our beloved Muppets from time to time. If I said anything that was over the line here or on TP, I too apologize.

Seeing as how Brian Henson was recently quoted as saying, regarding what the Muppets have planned for Disney, "Right now nothing is in production," I find it hard to believe that all these major things are going on behind the scenes. And I'll gladly list my source for that...

This took me to a thread about "Grandparents." :confused: http://www.savethemuppets.com

Great blog, Earl! Smig mentioned this one; that's how I found out. Terrific story about your Looney Tune that no one's ever seen. The animation is beautiful - this sure looks like it would be lots better than that Baby Looney Tunes series that finally did hit the air (it was completely...

While I can't speak for WoE himself, MinorMuppetz, I can assure you that usually, the want to write for a particular production or franchise outweighs the ability to get into the necessary loop! ;) It's just not that easy. You may be interested to know that WoE has written for a lot of...

Hey, folks! Long time no write. I was just wondering: has anyone here been to RetroJunk.com? It's a great site filled with video of classic TV shows, commercials, movie previews, etc. I just spent several hours watching intros for Heathcliff, ALF, Growing Pains, Real Ghostbusters, Small...

Disney said the movie needed to make at least $60 million on its first weekend to get a sequel, and it made $65 million. So we'll at least get one more movie out of it. I hope we get all 7! :excited:

Wow, it has been a while since we posted in this thread, huh? :smirk: I thought the film was very good. My only gripe is that the kids could have been portrayed a little braver--they didn't come across so wimpy in the book. But the visuals, the casting, the faithfulness to the original...

LOL! That is funny...and strange. Wonder how Mark's name got up there? Especially since, for all non-speaking background puppeteering, it should be listed as "Additional Puppeteer," not "Ernie." But hey, if anyone's going to get credit for playing Ernie, it should be our old buddy Earl!

Welcome, Camelia!

Wow. A lot of impressive ideas, and very well thought-out, MinorMuppetz! Here's what I would imagine for your idea on the day-to-day book for the Muppets: 1936-1954: Jim's Formative Years 1955-1968: Birth of the Muppets (covers Sam and Friends, Rowlf on Jimmy Dean, TV commercials...

Oh, absolutely. Go to your nearest bookstore or library, and see how many biographies are unathorized. Again, "unathorized" doesn't have to mean "sleazy" (though admittedly it can). All it means is that the writer isn't under someone's thumb, being told what they can and can't write. You may...

I would like an unathorized book. The authorized books are neat because of all the photos that could be included. The Works is like that. But Henson had complete control over the material, and could say, "Don't print that if you want our stuff." An unathorized book -- even including the Jim...
