I just rented this film for the first time the other night. I actually didn't know that Henson's Creature Shop had done the animals in the movie until the credits rolled. Man, that pig looked real! Any thoughts?

One thought comes to mind: Typical work of the Henson Creature Shop. They make the most realistic animals/creatures in Hollywood, in my opinion.

I remember there was a book about the entire history and works of the Creature Shop (dated circa 1997, I think), but I can't remember the exact title.

For more info, check out Jim Henson's Creature Shop!

Ah yes, No Strings Attached: The Inside Story of Jim Henson's Creature Factory. I think it's out of print now as you can't really find it on shelves anymore. I remember my days at Barnes & Noble unpacking the boxes of these, flipping through it and thinking it was pretty cool. This was when I was just a Muppet Fan and not yet a Muppet Freak, otherwise I've had bought it.

Yes!!

That's the book. I knew it had a catchy title, but it was just out of reach.

Saw it in a used book store the other day. Nice addition, and a perfect coffee table book.

Oh, well...I still think Dana Carvey is cool.

"Rock on, Wayne..."
"Rock on, Garth..."

Oh no man, I love Dana! I watched Waynes World every morning for an entire summer one year. I just think he's lost his knack, especially in MOD. I mean, it would be one think to say "Well its just the script that was bad man...he didn't write it!" But...yeah, he did write it. Oh well, I guess were stuck with the old school Dana. So yes:

Party on Wayne!
Party on Garth!

(PS - Billy...were kinda circling eachother tonight huh? hehe )
