Fraggle Rock film in development

[Beauregard]

I think it would be a great idea for a Fraggle Fan-Fic, and I'd love to read it, you have the characters down well. But I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have the necessery high stakes needed to draw an audience in a cinema as the first Fraggle Film ever made.

I think that would have to be bigger. Just my opinion.

But you should write this up as a fanfic!

Here's the scene script before we see the game:

(While the Fraggle Five is in Outer Space in the woods, Gobo discovers a tree with a hole in it which a Fraggle can fit in.)

GOBO: "Psst! Look! I've found something. Something... Tall... with a big hole. This must be a secret passage."

RED: "I like secrets. It might have something... wonderful, might it?"

(Gobo finds a postcard behind the tree.)

GOBO: "And my Uncle Travelling Matt left this postcard behind that alien-being. Ahem... "Dear Mokey, Boober, Red, Wembley, and nephew Gobo, you are about to enter into a secret passage in this hole. I left it there because..."

(We now see Uncle Travelling Matt.)

MATT: "I discovered some mushrooms and I'll need to figure out what kind of mushrooms they are. I didn't want to go all the way to the place where it has the hole to Fraggle Rock. Otherwise, I wouldn't know where those mushrooms are because this IS a large world."

(The mushrooms grow.)

MATT: "The mushrooms are large too."

(Matt smells the mushroom, then coughs. Matt then says "Poisoning".)

MATT: "In fact, I've heard that there is some game show underground."

(Camera goes back to The Fraggle Five.)

GOBO: "I will be watching you at that some underground dangerous place, with my Gobo-NAV. I hope you, Gobo, Mokey, Wembley, Boober, and Red, would break a leg. Love, Gobo, Your Uncle Travelling Matt."

BOOBER: "You can't go there! The silly creatures from underground would rip your legs right off."

MOKEY: "Boober, you're just imagining."

WEMBLEY: "She's right, Boober. L-let's go in.."

GOBO: "And we should stick together."

(The Fraggle Five do a song about sticking together, which is what Gobo said.)

GOBO: "Alright. We should'nt be afraid of ANYTHING, right?"

BOOBER: "Uh... OK.."

(Gobo enters the hole first.)

MOKEY: "When I get home, I'm going to--"

(Gobo grabs Mokey and sent her in the hole.)

RED: "Whoo-hoo!"

(Red jumps into the hole.)

BOOBER: "I'm not sure... I don't like--"

(Gobo grabs Boober into the hole.)

WEMBLEY: "W-w-what the... Sigh."

(Wembley enters the hole.)

What do you think? Wouldn't it great if they used Lewis Kazagger in the Fraggle Rock movie?

Here's a script of a game in REAL outer space:

LEWIS: "And now, a game in Outer Space, here's 'Astroid Cannon'. It is a game where a team in a U.F.O shoots a meteor at others to win."

RED: "Wow! we're in Outer Outer Space!"

LEWIS: "To shoot a meteor, use the red button, but be careful and look at the limit. When you're out, you'll have to reload. The leader will control the U.F.O. The one that rhyme with Head presses the Red Button."

RED: "Whoo-Hoo!! Time to show those Froggers who's boss!"

(We see Red & Wead looking face to face while fire is in the background.)

GEMBLEY: "Ha! I'll show YOU who's boss, Wimpy Fraggle!"

WEMBLEY: "I'm not Wimpy! I'm Wembley, Okay?"

KOBO: "Whatever, we are going to win it twice. YOU are going to get a Gorg doll which will use a club and whack your head right off. We are STILL getting ahead!"

(The Froggers laugh.)

GOBO: (whispers) "I won't let you down, Uncle Travelling Matt."

LEWIS: "Are you ready? Get set..."

(Drumroll starts.)

WEMBLEY: "Gulp!"

LEWIS: "GO!!!"

(The teams start. While playing the game, a song is heard in the background. After 3 seconds, the Fraggles' U.F.O. gets critically damaged already by being shot from the Froggers' U.F.O.)

LEWIS: "What a Shame, Fraggle Rock! The Fraggle Five had been shot critically. Now what are they going to do?"

RED: "We'll either die escaping or we'll die trying."

(The Fraggles' shoot an meteor at the Froggers' U.F.O. which didn't get much damage from the shot.)

KOBO: "Ha-ha-ha-ha! I've got platinum and you've got... (echoes) Iron."

GOBO: "How dare you say that!?"

RED: "I'm shooting like a machine gun!"

GOBO: "No, you can't!"

RED: "Yes, I can!"

GOBO: " No!" RED: "Yes!" GOBO: "No!" RED: "Yes! Hmph! Watch me!"

(Red presses the red button like a drum roll, which makes their U.F.O. fire meteors rapidly at the Froggers' U.F.O.)

MOKEY: "Do be careful, will you?"

LEWIS: "It appears that the U.F.O. is shooting the meteors rapidly."

CROKEY: "Arrgh! Don't tell me...!"

BOOBER: "Luckily our U.F.O. didn't explode yet. That was TOOOOO close!"

(The Froggers' U.F.O. is going through and crasing through the Fraggles' U.F.O.)

(The camera is cut to the Gorgs watching "Underground Showdown" on TV.)

LEWIS: (on TV) "Wait a Second! The Froggers' U.F.O. is crashing like a mad meteor through the Fraggles' U.F.O."

JUNIOR: "Ma, where did you buy this TV?"

MA: "I won "Reel of Fortune".

PA: "That's my wife."

JUNIOR: "Ha-ha! I hope those Fwaggles lose."

MA: "Not Fwaggles, FRAGGLES! Can't you prononce better?"

JUNIOR: "What's a Fraggle?"

(The camera cut back to the game.)

BOOBER: "Oh boy..."

(Boober accidently pushes the button that protects their U.F.O.)

LEWIS: "Would this help?!"

(When the Froggers' U.F.O. touches the Fraggles' U.F.O.'s shield, the Froggers' U.F.O. explodes. Then only the cockpit of the Froggers' U.F.O. is left, and the song stops.)

LEWIS: "YES!!!"

BLOOBER: "At least it's not--"

LEWIS: "And we have a winner! The Fraggles will come face to face with the Frackles..."

(The camera cuts to the Gorgs.)

LEWIS: (on telivision) "in a unbelievable Sudden Death."

JUNIOR: "Awww..."

PA: "It's OK. There's still a chance for the Fraggles to lose."

JUNIOR: "Ah, yes... Frackles Forever! Fwaggles Never! Frackles Forever! Fwaggles Never!"

MA: "Didn't I tell you...?"

(Ma sighs.)

(The camera cuts back to the game.)

LEWIS: "Well, Fraggles, are you ready for our final event?"

(The Fraggles uses their single hands, like a Sports luck.)

FRAGGLES: "Go, FRAGGLES!!"

LEWIS: "We'll be right back with the Sudden Death, after theses messages."

What do you think?

 

[Muppet Matt]

I can't wait for more! This is a really good story.

 

[Dil]

(Here's a script of a scene in Fraggle Rock where the Fraggle Five find a piece of paper.)

MOKEY: "Gobo, what is that?"

GOBO: "I don't know... wait! I think we're gonna come face to face with these strange creatures called... The Frackles?"

RED: "What IS a Frackle?"

GOBO: "According to the notes: these creatures will challenge us in a secret underground place in the woods. I know what Woods are. The woods in the "familiar" place is pass by the Gorgs' Garden."

WEMBLEY: "We all know what a Fraggle is, but we don't know what a Frackle is. In fact, I've never seen a Frackle before."

BOOBER: "I can't fight them. In fact, these guys are the most hideous most awful disgusting horrible looking creatures that I've even seen! They are MUCH more dangerous than the Gorgs."

GOBO: "Maybe we'll find them in Outer Space."

BOOBER: "You mean the place where they have the stars, the moon, and other planets?"

GOBO: (chuckles) "Boober, that's Outer Outer Space. To enter Outer Space, we enter a hole to some workshop where they have the silly creatures... AKA aliens."

WEMBLEY: "Aliens?!"

GOBO: "Yes. So what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

 

[crazed gonzo fa]

Here's the puppets for the Frackle Five:

Globo: Gloat (purple hair, vest)
Pokie: Cigar Box Frackle (yellow hair, robe)
Rembley: Snake Frackle (hat, T-shirt)
Thoober: Miss Kitty (sunglasses, jacket)
Dread: Red Boppity (bow-tie, karate robe)

According to the muppet morsels of muppet show season 1, isn't the cigar box frackle supposed to be gonzo unless (unless I'm mistaken) ?

 

[Dil]

Because of the Cigar Box Frackle's dreamy look, that would be the frackle puppet for Pokie, the Frackle version of Mokey Fraggle.

 

[BEAR]

dil, do you think your posts could be put in the Fan fic section?

 

[MWoO]

Yes please. It's a well thought out idea, but the way you are posting people might confuse this stuff with fact.

 

[Dil]

I only made these scripts with the Frackles & the Fraggles because of Jerry Juhl kept returning to the phrase "Frackle", which when softened to "Fraggle", became the final choice.
