We've seen Beaker's ballad, Stand By Me, and American Woman too... those would have qualified too, right? I'm disappointed none of those (or Popcorn) didn't get any nods this time out... especially since they're vastly superior to Muppet Kitchen. I mean, these are some of the ONLY legal YT...

I saw that one too... and it's CLEARLY evident that there were some down to the wire production problems for MFS for EIG to have at least an entire scene finished a year in advance for a trailer (unless EIG was rushed out and completed first). Granted, the Muppets 2011 didn't start filming...

A sequel would have to be pretty bad to hurt the reputation of the first film... let's get that straight. Even with a bad sequel, you can imagine it didn't happen. Other than for complaining's sake, I pretend the horrid "son of the Mask" didn't exist. I mean... REALLY? ! ? Look, you...

What was the last Muppet viral? That really should have been nominated as well. I'm happy for them, but I doubt it's gonna win. The Cooking show was fun, but uneven in places... it needed more gestation time, and there really seems to be no more new episodes after the second round. I...

Considering I've only seen the Hanukkah one, which used a LOT of footage from Elmo's World Happy Holidays, I kinda like learning more about the culture than see how the characters sound like in Hebrew. Even with the older ones. I used to have a tape of them taped off TV, and I would fast...

I heard contact lenses can get in behind your eye. Yeah, so not doing that.

Garfield Gets a Life. Last one produced because of the Saturday Morning series...

I'd love to see the Arthur Crapsmas movie end with Arthur's independent thinking and clever ideas bankrupting Santa, and having a movie exec character walk out and say, "And that's why we always make the same 3 movies over and over... Goodnight everybody!" Seriously, I used to LOVE Aardman...

I'd be far more worried about the Muppets under Disney than Marvel. Other than consolidating licenses (it's more about money going out than money coming in, even if money coming in is wroth way more), there was no major call for this. Again, it isn't just about the Muppet comics, but the Pixar...

I can't say I'm great with comic lables, but it makes sense. What's popular right now? Super Heroes. Marvel and DC have their own super heroes that built their brands... those super heroes are the most popular. They're also popular with kids. What do you think is more profitable for the...

Alright! Man... I remember the last time I saw the first Passover episode... that Pinball Number Count kept me from seeing any of the rest of them. Man, I really wish they'd show more of these things on television, so I don't have to spend a fortune getting the DVD's. I'm glad they have...

I was Sesame Street Meme tagged These are basically doodles, and not up to my usual high drawing standards...

I saw some pictures of this on the wiki, and I swear, I didn't even need to know that Leslie played the sales woman. I just took a look at the character and said I bet Leslie is that character's puppeteer... not even knowing it was a caricature of her no less. I'll check this out later...

I stopped collecting that because I kept missing out on the Space Ghost issues. Those were just amazing, and even better than the TV show, all done by the same writers and artists behind it. Especially after that abysmal first Space Ghost Coast to Coast comic done in the style of the show way...

Every single licensed comic, with the exception of anything by Warner Bros (Scooby-Doo, DC comics animated series, Looney Tunes) is licensed by smaller, outside, third party companies. Everything from Transformers to Shrek to Star Wars (and I can't think of any bigger names than that) and they...

That's because it was, and it's because SS's demographic changed dramatically. They made the film to speak specifically to Elmo fans, and added too much Elmo's world to the picture. Even if the movie were done well, the fact that it caters to a group of very young kids who can't sit still for...

Exactly what I was saying. Conceptually, a movie based on something THAT popular should do well, even if the movie wasn't all that good to begin with. But then again, when they made that abomination of an American Idol movie, no one wanted to see that either. Overall, I still feel the...

The people who use the term "brainwash" the most are usually the ones that do the most "brainwashing." I've said this for a while now... the only people more annoying than treehuggers are people who complain about them like they think they're affecting their lives. I'm no fan of the logic...

Elmo's great when he plays off other characters. Elmo's grating when he stands there, devoid of character, and tells kids to count flash animations on the screen. A little more former and a lot less latter, and the film would have worked better. Conceptually, it should have been good...

As it should, MFS screams Direct to video quality all over. And it does indeed play better that way. Especially the commentary of the DVD. But really, the NYTimes article was written by someone who's the product of the it has to be in your face 24/7 to matter camp.
