The movie isn't canon but Walters personality and basic back story are. He's still a muppet fan that gets to work with the muppets. That's his character. It's like the muppet movie. Scooter wasn't really the bands road manager, but his character is still the same. The difference is that Walter...

Scooter training a new "go for" is a neat idea too. Like giving the intern an intern type of deal. That's a great new dynamic they could set up. I can already see an episode if the muppet show where Walter gets his own intern, kind if like topo sticky getting his own little topo sticky.

I think Walter can easily work with the muppets as a new character. He's the ultimate fan. In the muppets he was the ultimate muppet fan, but whose to say he has to be just a muppet fan? He can be the ultimate guest star fan or instead of being a fan he can be the new "go for", maybe introduce...

EIG was a giant failure though because it was just a cartoony escapist movie. It made less than half it's budget back in US theater sales. Heck it made less than FTB which was released 14 years prior. A new sesame street movie can't just mindlessly target 3 year olds again. If they do the...

I think a new movie needs to take on a real issue faced by today's youth. Follow that bird dealt with the very real issue of a child going through the system of child services, ripped away from his home, and being placed in foster homes. Elmo in grouch land dealt with loosing a blanket...in a...

I'm torn. On one hand an r rating would certainly keep people from mistaking this movie for the muppets an would prevent kids from tricking their parents into letting them see it. On the other hand it certainly limits the audience. But if all they want are adults then it doesn't really matter.

Kermit was shot separately so that his part could be shot without keeping tons of puppeteers waiting. Imagine if Steve got the giggles that day and couldn't get through it for hours. You'd have a very large group of very grumpy puppeteers. Plus it also gives them a clear shot of all the muppets...

In the muppets there is no line between the biological and the puppets. Kermit isn't a puppet frog, he's a real frog that happens to talk. Walter is a real person, he just happens to be really short. So it's perfectly normal for a real human to have a muppet relative. As for muppets dating...

Well they kinda of already did that only over a longer period of time. You had TMM in 1979, then in 1981 you had GMC, then in 1984 there was MTM. a longer 7 year break was taken before MCC (in part due to Jim Henson working in other licenses and in part due to his passing) and then we get back...

Wow I didn't realize how well these fit in with the mini muppet line. Gonzo is a little cartoony and rizzo doesn't fit the style too well but the others look like they were made for the palisades mini line. I may get these now as an extension to my collection.

Since we don't know a lot about how or why the muppets broke up its hard to say how gonzo should react. Plus Fozzie and Piggy already did the whole wide eyed then distant reaction to Kermit. I liked gonzo being totally indifferent, keeping everything inside instead of showing all his emotion...

But if piggy and Kermit broke up after MTM, which they did in this movie, then that makes no sense. Walter may have the DVDs, but I see that as an error in the back ground. There is far more evidence to support the idea that the movie takes place in a world where the muppets were not around...

I got the impression that the movie only takes MTM and prior as its history and ignores anything after that. The novel has Kermit fire Piggy after MTM and that scene was filmed for the movie. Also they act as if the muppet show was the last tv show they did together, ignoring MT and JHH. And of...

And sadly those are the people that have the loudest voices and ruin it for everyone.

While I would love for this to be made, I fear careless parents will take their kids to see it and then complain about the movie while confusing it with the actual muppets. Then when the next muppet movie comes out, uninformed parents will keep their kids away fearing it to Be another happy time...

Seriously, what's up with that? I understand doing it the day after but the day of? Why? Because someone might actually get fooled?

I've wanted to do the something but fraggle hair seemed too hard to replicate in a figure. Seems you found the perfect way around that! It looks amazingly accurate to the real thing.

I honestly think selling the entire company would have been better. Now that Disney finally "gets" the muppets I want to see fraggle rock in their hands. Pixars merger seemed to work out really well for them and Disney. The same could work for Henson. Plus it could mean a return of the Henson...

So....the Henson company is taking a puppet show and turning it into a cgi cartoon while Disney has embraced puppetry with the muppets and didnt use any cgi. Is this Earth 2?

I think a western would be perfect actually. I can see parts for all the muppets. Sherif Kermit, Rolf on paino, piggy in a burlesque stage show (g rated of course), fozzie could be the saloon owner down on his luck, scooter could be the kiss up assistant to the mayor of the town or perhaps...
