    His exact line was "A dream is where Elmo and Toy Story had a party and I was invited." The drawing was of him, Elmo and Buzz Lightyear.

    The best thing the muppets ever did: Pre-Disney purchase

    It's really impossible to say, especially with the Jim era. The Muppet MovieS I'd say, even MTM really had a LOT of magic in them that just didn't fit in the show. Truth be told, I'm tempted to say Fraggle Rock, even though that really doesn't count in this situation. As much as I love the...

    Muppet King Arthur

    My guess is that it's got to be an availability thing or something to that extent. So far, the only time we had a different artist pop in on another series is the Pigs in Space one shot. And somehow, since Roger Focused mostly on the writing, it gave it a slightly different feel, rather than...

    Disney's New Film Direction & Muppets

    As a fan of anime (who likes it no more or less than any other country's animation in general) stuff like Bakugan annoys me. I have no problem with toy or video game based animes if they're at least of a decent quality. The whole Pokemon/Yugioh aspects of certain animes, the fact that the...

    The Cover for the Fraggle Rock Comic is here!

    Well, I never did get around to looking at or reading RTL, but I've never been a fan of Tokyopop's "Ginsu manga" (stuff made in the US that only looks Japanese) if only because they all look like they have the same basic style, and manga/anime has a bunch of different wacky styles. I'd kill to...

    Funniest SST Moments

    I always loved the claymation chair that kept bumping into things. Me and my cousin used to imitate that for the longest time when we were little.

    If they were to make a new Muppet Babies....

    It's an unfortunate trend in preschool shows... the talking loud and slow and pretending to be interactive (Hey boys and girls, Dora can't here what you're saying, and you really can't affect her movements or choices one way or another because they all had to be scripted and animated, and it's...

    Disney's New Film Direction & Muppets

    Hmmm... considering the legal history of the character, I wonder if he's going to start semi-resembling Donald ever again. I honestly feel if Disney wants to start doing Comic Book movies, they should make a Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck 2-D animated feature. Or some sort of...

    Another TV Land Outrage!

    That too, that too... but I'm starting to wonder if they're pressuring them to cut certain shows first to drive up DVD sales. Here's the logic behind my reasoning... the exact opposite happened to the 90's Saban produced Spider-Man series on Toon Disney. Since Disney owned the show (this is...

    Another TV Land Outrage!

    You know... I wonder... are some of the shows no longer on the network because they're trying to drum up DVD sales of certain shows as well as trying to get the imaginary new audience?

    Muppet King Arthur

    After doing a quick flip through, I can safely say, you're gonna be pretty happy with a nice little reference to a joke from Muppets Tonight. Lovin' the artwork. Especially that stark graphic quality that bridges the gap from Muppet to cartoon to comic book.

    Creepiest Muppet Moment

    I see what you're getting at, and the more I think about it, I agree with whoever said it... it isn't so much the joke, as the musical sting and Pepe's overreaction to it that really made it unsettling. It really seems like something off the cuff that really wouldn't have made it into the final...

    So...Any Muppet Stuff At Toy Fair?

    AH... the fact that the license was originally sub-negotiated under HIT may have been the problem. I'm sure they thought it would be wise to get them out when the movie was farther in production, but I don't think anyone realized it would take so long to get anywhere with the project. If they...

    Disney's New Film Direction & Muppets

    And about half of them seem to flop. That's the trouble with trends. Wasn't there also City of Ember, the Waterhorse, and stuff that didn't even see a week in theaters? The Golden Compass was an outright flop, there were other movies planned, and nothing came out of them.

    I say Hugga Wugga is child's play compared with Scrlap Fyapp. Much MUCH creepier.

    Sesame Street costume fail

    All I can say is it takes the term "furry" to a WHOLE new level! :eek: Though these are, no matter how hard you think about them, than those foam mask Ernie and Bert costumes.

    Sesame Street Oatmeal FAIL

    Well, again, I'd say Baby bear is a stretch when it comes to merchandise, having only that one bean bag and a die cast car. Even though I'm sure kids know who he is if he's on every third episode. But other than the obvious Elmo money, there's no reason why they overlooked it. Big Bird...

    So...Any Muppet Stuff At Toy Fair?

    I mentioned this in another thread, but it seems that Mattel was trying to do that, but failed by reusing old sculpts, and having a limited variety of characters. Indeed, there were only 3 sets (Grover and Oscar, Cookie and Elmo, Ernie and Big Bird) and they managed to use the same Elmo in the...
