    A Very Merry Muppet DVD coming soon

    Everyone's missing my point. Wouldn't Christmas sales be better after the movie aired on TV again so that people would *know* about it? But as you say, hopefully we'll hear something very soon if there is something planned for the fall. :sing:

    Kermit, with ATTITUDE?!

    I haven't heard the comments myself, but taking your word for it, that's a shame. I always allow the performers some leeway when improvising; they might get carried away. But I was hoping the "porn" comment was a one-time accident. Apparently Steve got good feedback from it and decided to follow...

    Frank Oz Birthday Menu

    AAAUGH!!! I was out of town for the weekend. I missed this altogether! :o :( :mad: :attitude: Oh, well. I'm sure it was great, Jamie! :halo: (And yes, I deliberately used all the Frank characters for this message.)

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    No, I don't want her disappearing at all. I was saying the opposite--that Eric should disappear so that she'd be visible. But of course, as you knew, I was joking about him crouching. He'd have to be in the front row with her in a special seat or something.

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    I do hope everyone knew I was joking about the "crouching down" business. Of course that would be too uncomfortable. I like the idea of carrying her down in something--that's been done before, for one of the specials, or maybe the TMM premiere. I've seen footage of that. I also like the idea of...

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    No, no--Eric HAS to crouch under the seat the whole time, hoisting Piggy in the air for two hours so that she can see the movie even though he can't. The illusion must be maintained! ;) :p Seriously though, I think these are some good ideas here. I love the notion that the next major role...

    Brian Froud and Neil Gaiman team up for new film

    No distributor has been named yet for Mirror Mask. Sony is producing and distributing Tam Lin (not a Henson film).

    Ideas For New Muppet Specials

    LOL!! Yes, let's saboatage these ideas now. I "really hope" that whatever their next film is, that they FINALLY go back to doing storybook adaptations, and that Fozzie wears a Victorian wig and acts out of character the whole time. :smirk:

    Brian Froud and Neil Gaiman team up for new film

    Cory, You're right, it's not a JHC film. I only called it part of a "trilogy" because it'll be a fantasy film featuring the Frouds' artwork. It'll be interesting to see how it looks when it's completely rendered by CGI animation.

    Official 2003 Farscape convention

    Really? It was posted here already? I looked but couldn't find it. It is just speculation about the NBC deal in a sense, but pretty much no one was looking to do anything with the Muppets at that time. Then they held a show right in LA with all the bigwigs coming out and they brought down...

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    Cory, re the train-wreck feel to VMMCM: try fast-forwarding past any parts with human guest stars. :smirk: Seriously! I watched it again this past week (seen it about 3-4 times now) and the movie flows much better without most of them. I think more judicious editing and better human actors would...

    Dreamchild

    According to Amazon.com, the film is available on VHS but not DVD. A quick search of Yahoo.com should tell you whether or not there are any websites devoted to it. Good luck!

    Elmo on The Simpsons tonight

    Funny Muppet reference on the second new episode of The Simpsons tonight. The bartender Moe was babysitting Maggie (it's a long story), and at one point he tried to find a doll for her to play with. "We can't tickle Elmo anymore," he said as he pulled the doll off the shelf and attempted to...

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    With all due respect, Cory, my man, M@WDW was one of the best Muppet specials (as you noted yourself), even though it's essentially an hour-long advertisement. I don't see how that differs so much from the NBC references in their recent so-called "fall from grace." I think you're expecting...
