Keith Chapman To Unveil New Henson Project

[Luke]

Heres a lil' scoop :-

Keith Chapman, is the guy who created the succesful pre-school animation series "Bob The Builder" in the UK for "HIT Entertainment", but prior to this he worked at Henson for 3 years as Art Director for Muppets licensed product which gave him the inspiration to create his own characters.

He has a 'first look' deal with Universal who will be unveiling "Fifi Forget Me Not" - one of his new pre-school creations soon but his ideas aren't limited to pre-school.

"Keith is also close to revealing another concept (begun prior to his agreement with Universal) in development with Henson; something he believes will have wide merchandising opportunities."

The above is partly copied and partly rewritten from an otherwise boring article in 'License Europe' - a trade magazine in the UK. Sounds mysterious, and this guy mainly does animation. So sounds like a new Henson animation show that could get developed.

Very nice indeed. Let us know if you hear anything else.

When I first saw the article title, I thought maybe Phil had a brother named Keith! Wouldn't it be great to have that kind of an "in" with the company, Phil?

[Phillip]

Nope, no Keith Chapman in the family that I know of.

Well, you can always buy the rights to the "Keith Chapman" name.

Ask Spike Lee for tips...

You think stop motion, computer animation, or traditional cel animation Luke?

"something he believes will have wide merchandising opportunities."

Well...I'm glad he has his priorities straight.

I wonder what he'll be doing? Sounds neat. I'd think stop-motion, isn't that what Bob the Builder is?

CB Boy, I was just kidding with Phil. There is no relation.
