    Have the Muppets ever filmed in Celebration, Florida?

    Have the Muppets ever filmed anything in Celebration, Florida? I ask because someone gave me this photo of Kermit, on a phone, beside his mailbox, in front of a lake, and he told me it's from something that was filmed in Celebration. (I see the Odyssey Network logo in the bottom right of the...

    I'm an amateur puppeteer. I perform for Give Kids The World (Kissimmee, Florida) as well as a few other events. I want to expand my repertoire but I'm tired of trying to make do with mass-produced puppets that never look quite right, so I am looking for recommendations of someone who can build a...

    Any mentions of Mr. Hooper after he died?

    After the Goodbye Mr. Hooper episode so long ago, have there been any mentions of Mr. Hooper in the show?

He's a BIG hit, but I'm an...

    What do you use to build a puppet's mouth?

    The mouth of my Muppet Whatnot broke! The whole tragic tale is here. Basically, inside the felt is a bent piece of plastic to make the upper and lower mouth rigid and provide a kind of 'hinge', but that 'hinge' is where the plastic snapped in half. Now it snaps and crunches when I operate the...

    My Muppet Whatnot Broke!

    I've had my Whatnot since this past Valentine's Day; my sweetie ordered it from FAO.com for me. So that makes it, what, eight months of occasional use? It's not often I do anything with it, because it's a very tight fit for an average-sized adult hand. Well, tonight I was using it as my...
