    The Muppets.com Countdown has begun

    I just hope the muppets stop behaving badly, and start living up to the reputation that Jim Henson original created for them. Toilet Jokes, and bad writing can only go so fair before it gets old...YA KNOW.

    Muppet Wizard of Oz to film in September

    Emerald City I hope the time frame takes more than a day, or a night of viewing. What I mean by that is in the book Dorothy is gone for a week or more at the very least. In fact she is gone so long that Uncle Henery has allready started buidling a new farm house. It takes time for...

    Gluing Technique Help!

    Rubber Latex The one and only puppet I ever made fell apart after I painted it, I think because I used rubber cement and it did not respond well to the water based arcylic paint I used. As for the Rubber Latex, is this the same stuff that is used for Halloween special effects ( cuts, Bullet...

    Gluing Technique Help!

    Paint Does any one know if painting the foam will cause the glue to break down and the puppet to fall appart? Also is there any way to protect the foam from its eventual breakdown? Thanks. :)

    How do I get a job as a Muppeteer?

    Frank OZ Gang, I did not know that Frank's Characters were re-cast. The last Muppet thing I saw, was AVMMC which stunk. But Fozzy and Piggy still sounded like Frank, the rest of the voices were a pritty bad. Robin, Janice, and Scooter were probably the worst. Not to mention the...

    How do I get a job as a Muppeteer?

    Puppet Stuff "the quality of the shows of late has been dismal, and to be quite frank, despite all the hoopla surrounding this wizard of oz thing, if you take a step back it just looks like a really bad idea, for once I wish they would try to do something that wasn’t some "EDGY" take on a old...

    Muppet Wizard of Oz to film in September

    Oz After watching MTI again you guys are right Gonzo and Rizzo are not narrators in this film. I do not know what I was thinking about, probably Muppets Christmas Carol, that original story has a strong narration to it to begin with. The Wonderful Wizard of OZ could work with a narrator as...

    Worst Muppet Film

    Frank OZ I was just wonderig if he finally got sick of the down turn the Muppets have taken with their content and decided he wanted out. Frank OZ has always had his side projects, and other things that he was involved with out side of the Muppets. Not to mention he is getting older and...

    Muppet Wizard of Oz to film in September

    Flying Monkies I am really hoping that this film has a very realistic feel to it like Disney’s Return to OZ, and the Harry Potter films. To actually create The Land of OZ would really help to make this film so wonderful. I feel that now days things have to look more real any way, the MGM OZ...

    Muppet Wizard of Oz to film in September

    Muppets OZ :) I agree no one is 100% right or wrong, I actually think it is more about ideas and dreams, and feelings than about right or wrong. As many things I do not agree with, I still love the Muppets and have great hopes for The Muppets Wizard of OZ. I also think that Disney will treat...
