Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

[propologist]

Friends

Hi Unclematt,

No I didn't work with "Was Once Ernie" I have only had the pleasure of meeting him recently. He is curently helpping me and others with research on a few projects, That will hopefully start moving faster soon. So we can tell you all about it.

I myself am a "propmaker and a prototyper" for the film and toy industry.
If you would like to more about me ,go to my website.
If you have any questions I will try and answer them,but I type very slow.

Out of curiosity, have you at all tried to see if you can contribute anything to the new TMM Special Edition DVD planned for November as part of celebrating Kermit's 50th?

Well, I got a call back from a very nice man who said he wished he had spoken to me about 6 weeks ago. As I suspected, it is already finished.

Don't feel bad.

I wanted to get some video footage of my buddy Lin and I digitized where we're performing as the Memphis Blues Brothers to go on the 25th Anniversary DVD, but it looks like the only contribution to the fan-based documentary are going to be photographs IF we show up on there at all!! I didn't find out there was a search for it until WAY too late, and only had 4 days, but nobody who could digitize the VHS was available to do it at the time.

Still, everyone be sure to buy the 25th Blues Brothers Anniversary DVD!!

I'll be getting all the Muppet ones, obviously.

Who was the very nice old man?

He said his name was "Statler". Weird name, huh? I wasn't sure if that was his first name or last name, so I just called him "Sir".

Statler? A nice old man? Naw! Couldn't've been!

You have got to be kidding me. Are you not telling us something?

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Well, OBVIOUSLY while filming of TMM! DUH!

You MEET JIM HENSON ? When ?
DID YOU TALK TO HIM ?

Go back to Page 1 of this thread and read post #7. I think it will answer your questions.

If you still want to know more, I'd be happy to elaborate.
