    April Fools: Sesame Street Film Still Happening!

    I had debated over whether to have the news be about the Sesame Street movie that was announced, or if it would be about a new Muppet movie. Had these in mind for almost a year. A few weeks ago, I also considered doing a report on the Fraggle Rock movie, saying that Michael Bay would be...

    April Fools: Sesame Street Film Still Happening!

    Well, an article at The Hollywood Reporter mentions that the Sesame Street movie announced in 2012 is still happening. Back then it was announced by 20th Century Fox while the company was still in negotiations with Sesame Workshop, which took awhile, and now a couple of drafts of the script have...

    Why does Sesame rely so much on Fairy Tale characters lately?

    And if there's so much focus on one-time characters, then they don't need to worry about working around any performers schedule (though the episodes will still involve some main characters, like Elmo, Abby, or Telly). Of course, in the last few years, there have been a couple of fairy...

    Henson Rarities on Youtube

    I just watched the whole video, and see now that the music video ended one of those news shows, as end credits appeared halfway to the end. Still can't figure out the use of almost the full Song from Kermit without any special on-screen text or voice-overs or lead-ins or anything. It's also...

    Henson Rarities on Youtube

    I haven't watched the whole video of news coverage of Jim Henson's passing (I intend to do so by May 16), but I did skip through a lot of it to various points. And it seems like there's a few points in that video where instead of news coverage, something else is shown, like the "I'm Gonna Always...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    I've been thinking about Tough Pigs' Muppet Vaults. I haven't been to any, as I live a few states away and can't really justify the trip just to see a Muppet screening (even if it is a good cause), so it would be kind of pointless for me to make wishlists of what kinds of vaults there should be...

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night, I dreamt that I was doing some kind of Cinderella project with my hands playing all the roles. Maybe it was a YouTube video, or maybe it was a school project, but my version of Cinderella included many elements that were speciffic to Hey Cinderella, like a mask ball, Arthur not...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Technically, I didn't read that, but I got that assumption from the fact that only the Kermit and Fozzie figure prototypes, in addition to the Mini Mates, were on display at Toy Fair. But maybe the other sculpts just hadn't started yet. Yes, it seems unusual that there'd be just one two-pack...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    I was under the impression we'd only get one two-pack at a time.

    Henson Rarities on Youtube

    I don't think I can thank you enough for what's been posted. I found that your channel has a number of rarities that I didn't think anybody had, along with things I figured people had but hadn't uploaded and some things I hadn't known about. Of course there's Muppet Madness and some of the...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Something just occurred to me regarding the "Count on Elmo" release: Could it be more of a friendship-themed release as opposed to a Count spotlight video or a number-themed one? The street story involves friendship (The Count's friends all doing what they can to make sure The Count gets his...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    Today I found out that the next Sesame Street DVD will be Count on Elmo and, according to Muppet Wiki, the main feature is the episode where The Count gets his noble prize. It makes me wonder if it'll have additional Count segments interspersed (much like Elmo's Music Magic and Elmo's Super...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    So the next DVD, Count on Elmo, comes out on July 7. That's three months from now. Interesting. It says at Muppet Wiki that its main feature will be the Count Tribute storyline. It'll be good to have that on DVD. I wonder if it will be like Elmo's Super Numbers (and Elmo's Music Magic, I...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I'm starting to worry about whether there'll be any more physical Sesame Street DVDs. I'm not sure how long Sesame Workshop's contract with Warner Home Video lasts (I wonder how long the previous video contracts were, most of them pretty much ended because the companies closed). Could this have...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    Ever since the start of the Old School DVDs, I've often noticed how The Count seems to have been under-represented in the bonus segments included, not to mention being under-represented in 40 Years of Sunny Days. With the first Old School, there's only two seasons where he was on the show, so...

    Sesame Street Platinum enters National Recording Registry

    When thinking more about Platinum, I've wondered if all the songs had been on platinum albums somehow (if the singles/45s weren't platinum, but I'm pretty sure nothing from the late-1980s and beyond had been released as a single). According to the Muppet Wiki listing everything had been released...

    Who Built Lips?

    Seems a few more photos have shown up online, featuring Kermit, Miss Piggy, and others. It's interesting that they are allowed to post photos online but not announce what the project is. Considering we know Kirk Thatcher is directing, it makes me wonder, would a Muppets person be directing if...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    Craig Shemin has said that Disney doesn't archive acquired properties, so The Jim Henson Company Archives still has all pre-2004 physical Muppet items (I wonder if Disney archives Muppet stuff from after 2004, or if other archives keep the later Muppet stuff). I wonder if The Jim Henson Company...

    Sesame Street Platinum enters National Recording Registry

    According to Tough Pigs, the album Sesame Street Platinum: All-Time Favorites has been selected by The Library of Congress for entry in the National Recording Registry.

    Questions about anything

    I didn't realize so many people here hated it. I thought it was one of those Christmas movies nearly everyone likes. I don't think it's even something that many people hate because of the popularity. There's this old commercial for Texaco with Jack Benny that has me confused by a few things...
