CGI Muppet Babies Show?

[Beauregard]

I actually think that the show will be pretty good. CGI can be impressive, and I think that Disney will do a great job with it. My concerns for the show are which characters they will use (please keep Rowlf, Scooter, and Skeeter), and which ones they add. I personally would like to see only the originals living in the nursery, and maybe more visiting characters (like what Bunsen and Beaker were in the original show.)

Visiting characters that I would like to see: Pepe, Johnny, Sal, Sam, Chef, Bunsen, Beaker, Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Janice, Zoot, Rizzo, Robin, Bean, Sweetums

I hope they don't add Pepe as a main Muppet baby...

If they did I would be upset becaause Pepe is a pain.

However, I would love to see the Electric Mayhem (perhaps as teenagers, since I persume this series isn't going to try and be cannon in terms of ages and stuff...) Rizzo would make a good staying memeber, could replace Bean if nec.

It would be great if they could add penguins, and Beau to some part of the program. Maybe Beau could be a friend of Nanny's in one episode.

I hope that we do not seee above Nany's knees...

Will these newer guys be doing the voices? I'd rather have Frank (or most likely Eric) do baby Fozzie and Piggy instead of some new guy. Of course the voices on the old cartoon weren't exactly matches either so I guess it doesn't matter.

Will this be a totally new show or a continuation of the old one?

I dunno, i haven't really seen any definitive information about that. I'd guess it'll probably be a completely new show - i don't think we'll see a "Nanny" or anything like that. It'll probably be more like Swamp Years.
As for the voices, i have no idea. I would guess maybe the older Muppeteers will loop the biggest characters.

What? No Nanny?

I hope it dosn't become a "canon" prequel series with the muppets as friends beofre Muppet Movie. That would be rubishness defined.

Why would you call that rubbish, but you accpet the muppet movie as a real history of the muppet universe? They went from meeting on road trip to making the muppet movie with no muppet show, no theater owned by Scooter's uncle, and so on. How would muppet babies screw that up anmymore than it already is?

 

[Beauregard]

Hmmm, good point WiGgY...

Yep, I second that.

 

[Beauregard]

Well, perhaps I put that too strungly. Pepe isn't exactly a 'pain' but he would be all wrong for the Muppet Babies, certainly.

I agree Pepe wouldn't be right as a baby unless his personality was totally changed. You can't have a baby being suave.

I totally agree. It cracks me up thinking of a baby being suave.

No anime?

Let's just say that I am steamed. I'm blowing off steam in the direction of Michael Eisner and hope to that Great Cub in the Sky that he actually listens to all of our complaints about this deal and the ones of us who are "true" animation buffs (No ANIME) who are really steamed at him right now because he's basically ruined us animation buffs' right to petition him for this, that or the other thing. I want to go in and kick him out so bad, it hurts me.

"True" Animation buffs would know that anime has been around since 1917, (though the modern look of it came in the 50's) and the engineer of the now famous big eyes, little mouth convention took that idea from Disney (Osamu Tezuka, creator of Astro Boy and deemed to God of Anime mentioned that he took the large eyes from Bambi, he also nodded at Mac Fleicher's Betty Boop)

I am not too sure of what you are trying to say here, whether you are saying that anime is not animation or that people who like anime dont have a valid opinion. Either way you are wrong. Anime revoltionized adult (not pornographic) animation. Japanese creators used the medium to tell stories far more complex than American animators or its investors dared to. In doing so, it revitalized a medium that may have only been used to tell simple childrens stories, allowing it to grow into something much more mature.

Now I am not pompus enough to say that animation would not have naturally evolved to higher ground than children's story telling, but since you seem pompus enough to assume that try animation fans dont hold anime to any value I thought I would at least interject a bit.
