    The Muppet Show Season 3 arrives May 20, 2008

    So Season 4 will have Gonzo on the cover, and I'm sure Season 5 will have Animal on the cover... And I hope, somewhere along the way, they give us the "Muppets At Walt Disney World." I haven't seen it in years, but I still remember the really catchy song "Love in A Laundromat." If all the...

    Dark Crystal sequel may be headed to DVD

    I really do hope that the film will look like a puppet film, and not a cgi film. Everyone does cgi, and the technology will improve over time. But the only way to improve on puppetry is to find a better artist who makes better puppets and uses them in better ways. If you ask an average person...

    Potential Ideas for JHC's Use

    No, come on... that's only one part of the movie, and it's a broad idea that could be made original. I already mentioned that it would be a big musical. Miss Piggy is "reduced" to teaching a ghetto class, and between the sleazy, seductive principal and her class of thugs, she's being pushed to...

    Dark Crystal sequel may be headed to DVD

    JPrater, I think that this site is probably more reliable than any official site would be. I hope that the film doesn't go overboard with CGI. My feelings about CGI are that, when done with a big budget and great artists (Ratatouille), it can look amazing. But isn't it funny how the...

    Dark Crystal sequel may be headed to DVD

    So Brian Froud worked on the new film? I was misinformed, either on here or on imdb. Thank you, Prater, for your very good comments.

    Dark Crystal sequel may be headed to DVD

    I don't know, FrogBoy, 20 years is a lot of time to work out kinks, and "A Muppet Christmas Carol," which was released very soon after Jim's passing, is the best thing they've done in those 20 years. Maybe they were still reeling in his magic. Is Paul Williams still alive? It's time they do...

    Potential Ideas for JHC's Use

    Disney bought the rights to the Muppets, but that doesn't mean that Disney comes up with the storylines, does it? I thought that Disney would just be responsible for marketing and distributing and producing everything Muppet?

    Potential Ideas for JHC's Use

    I just got finished bashing the company on The Dark Crystal Sequel forum... so let me offer 2 ideas for their future, since they have very few. I have another idea, but I really want to save that one for when they contact me. I'm not holding breath. Muppet Movie Ideas: MUPPETS IN HARLEM...

    Dark Crystal sequel may be headed to DVD

    I've had it. The quality of the Henson people's output since 1993's very good "Muppet Christmas Carol" has been on a par with Disney's second, third, or fourth hand team's output of pathetic sequels to Walt Disney masterpieces. I'm going to sum up the three major ("major" is really pushing it)...

    Petition campaign to Disney

    I guess I've been spending my writing energies on Roger Ebert's "Answer Man". It paid off. Five years, and he finally wrote back twice in the same week.

    Petition campaign to Disney

    Frogboy, My brother, I joined this about 2 months after you did, in 2002. I'm only 4,550 something posts behind you. What kind of wicked magic do you possess?

    Petition campaign to Disney

    Here's a better place for my rant than the poor "Alvin and the Chipmunks" forum. I must be intoxicated with egg nog. I would far rather wait something along the lines of 3 years for a new Muppet Movie, giving up anything and everything Muppet during those 3 years... for... for what? For a...

    Alvin and the Chipmunks

    You mentioned on the other thread that Pee Wee Herman has a new film coming out. I am far less concerned that it will be brilliant (I'm sure it will be) than I am that anything the Muppets do in the near future will be brilliant. All they've done is shoveled up crap since their last good...

    Alvin and the Chipmunks

    I was afraid I wasn't the first to mention this, but I'm not a wizard and didn't want to navigate every thread on the forum. :-) Fine... "The Smurfs Movie" will be released in 2009. I wish they'd scrap John Lithgow and Julia Sweeney... scrap Nickelodeon Studios... add Alan Menken and make...

    Alvin and the Chipmunks

    "Alvin and the Chipmunks," the movie, was directed by Tim Hill, the director of "Muppets from Space." (Personally, I love Alvin and the Chipmunks, and do not take that as a good sign.)

    Series 10 Muppet Figures

    I got Series 10 mixed up with Online Exclusives that were made at the end of the series. Thank you Barry. Does anyone else know what is going on with OMG toys and why payment isn't going through? I would prefer to buy from them, since their prices are cheapest.

    Series 10 Muppet Figures

    Hi Hi, I'm sorry. I guess I knew that. What I wanted to buy was Uncle Deadly, who I see on Ebay in 3 versions, and Sweetums - who was only 25 dollars on sale at OMG, and Gonzo and Rizzo Cabin Boy set, and the 2 pack of Penguins. I see these being sold on Ebay, and I saw them on OMG toys...

    Series 10 Muppet Figures

    I've been out of the loop for a while. I just tried to order from OMG toys, and everytime I get to the payment part, it won't let me pay. Is this company out of business? If they are out of business, or their Muppet figures are no longer available, is there any other place online that has...
