This article is a bit too tabloid for my taste. That said, I certainly agree that Disney has no clue what it should be doing with the Muppets. I also can certainly understand why Brian Henson would resent having to deal with the Muppets, if what the article says is true. I could see him wanting...

I get that it was expensive to make, but this is still pretty infuriating. The thing won rave review AND a freaking Emmy. I don't like getting attached to Netflix shows because they always end up getting prematurely cancelled... Still, I am grateful that we got what we got, I suppose.

OT, but as good a place to say it as any, so as not to create controversy with a new post... I was rewatching the unfairly maligned Muppets from 2015, and my god, Whitmire was at his pinnacle as a performer. The range of expressions he brought to Kermit was amazing to watch.

Much love to his family & the Sesame team. He left behind such a wonderful legacy.

Parodying something isn't the same thing as disrespecting it.

Looks absolutely perfect.

I wouldn't be surprised if working with the Muppets is simply too painful for him. He's a victim of his own history: how could anything live up to his early years working with the old company? As far as Disney goes, it's no secret that they strong arm their creatives. Oz is not really a...

https://www.indiewire.com/2019/03/frank-oz-sesame-street-the-muppets-star-wars-1202050457/ Some pretty damning comments from Oz on the handling of Henson properties: On Sesame: On The Muppets: On The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance: Frank Oz pulls no punches.

I was only joking, PumpkinJ. I've never seen him be mean (in public.)

I was at a convention and saw Steve Whitmire. I asked him what he was up to, and he said "Your mama." Then, he punched me square in the face, and said, "That was my Kermit hand." He then pulled off his hair and announced, "My wig needs attention!" and his wig attendants ran up to him and combed...

As with anything anybody says on the internet, feel free to take this with a grain of salt, but a few friends of mine work for Sesame Street, and, on occasion, for the Muppets. From what they've told me, Brian Henson is a little bit of a tyrant who blacklists puppeteers if they cross him the...

No accounting for taste (or a lack of it.) ;)

Oh no, a difference of opinion on Muppet Central. Quick, ban everybody involved. ;P They developed this steamer for 10 years. Looks like Brian Henson should have sat on it for another 10. This hurts the chances of him continuing to make movies, which is sad, as he is actually a talented filmmaker.

I didn't realize my username was a pun.

I don't care how they market the movie if the jokes suck. "Oh, you like pee? I have..." Hardy-har-har. I'd love to meet the 8 year old who wrote that zinger.
