Yeah... I'm with Bry on this one... Misinformed assertions, Disney doesn't have a hold on the Fraggles as part of their MHC.

It's like when people start blaming Disney of things related to Sesame Street. The Walt Disney Company has nothing to do with Sesame Street Muppet characters. People can't separate the two (or 3) groups.

Haven't seen it yet, but I haven't been out towards Hollywood since about a week or so ago.

Never fails to make me laugh.

I drive through Hollywood on my way home from work every day. I havent seen anything but I stick to Highland or Vine so if its on a different road (which is highly likely) I wouldnt see it....


Hmm thinking about it, maybe they were driving past Hollywood and Highland where they have headlines from the Hollywood Reporter that cycle through kinda like Times Square. Maybe it was listed up there as a scrolling thing?

Does any one think if the movie turns out well that the Henson Exsectives might consider a new seires or reruns of the old show to be put out!

My opinion? Things on SS would be noticably WORSE is Dis owned SS. I'm talkin' more Elmo under a cheaper puppeteer and some tie-in to Baby Einstein. HAs anyone actually seen some of it? The puppets look like freaking oven mitts with eyes sloppily glues on.

Yes. I hope so.

And the 5 Fraggles should have an adventure in the Human World, then go into TRUE outer space, which the Fraggles call Outer-Outer Space.
