Muppet Mockumentary Pilot Filmed

[crazed gonzo fa]

You guys have a way with words!

Well said Ruahanna. I love it when you take pen to paper (fingers to keyboard?) over an issue because everything you say seems to make perfect sense. If only Disney and JHC saw the Muppets as you do, the world would be a better place. (Well, Muppet World would be a better place at the very least.)

So, with all this discussion--anything new popped up yet? Somebody got some tidbits of information?

 

[Beauregard]

Nothing...no news...all quiet on the Muppetdom Front...

 

[muppet baby]

That was perfect Ruahnna! Everything you said perfectly sumed it all up for me. It's like you should be in charge or somthing over there. I really, honestly mean that and am convienced that you really would be a very impressive job, too. You really know your Muppet's, and it completly show in every one of you cmments here! Just keep doing what you do best. I really enjoy and value what you have to say about our favorite muppet game. You really seriously know you Muppet's, girl!

While Ruahnna made some points I agree with in regard to Brian Henson and Jim Lewis, it pretty much sums up how I've been feeling for a while.

Of course it makes sense to have a visionary at the helm of the Muppets, directing each project with the heart that moved us all so long ago. And more time passes since May 1990, the further and further the Muppets drif away from what they were.

It is my firm believe that the Muppets can never an will not ever again be what they were when Jim Heson was alive. Jim was the pres., the CEO, the owner, the decision maker, the recruiter and yes... just as Ruahnna put it...the Dad.

All the more reason for the impossibility of Muppet Magic to endure without him. And with the abscence of Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt - the are not "The Muppets" anymore.

The pres, CEO, owner, decision maker and recruiter now, is not a visionary with a heart of gold, but a coporation with corporate interests, corporate motivations and corporate motivation - with hundreds of other higher-priority non-muppet characters and projects to run.

No matter how much fans would or would not want Brian Henson, Jim Lewis, or whoever to 'guide' the Muppets today - this simply will not happen the way a huge corp. like Disney divides its creative labour supplies. It's over - the Muppets are now a side-bar during parade time and gift shop articles. Even if there is another pilot, show, movie... expect another OZ at best, because demographics dictate Disney's projects, not simple artistic expressions or caring about projects the way Jim Henson did.

What's wrong with the Muppets? They are a product of Disney now. Nothing against what Disney is. I wouldn't expect any different from Disney. My point is this; the state of the Muppets wouldn't be what it is if JHC didn't put them up for sale.

I totally agree about the the caring aspect of the jim henson days and also though i think the reason that the muppets where sold to disney was because of the thought that they could make more merchindise for the muppets maybe things willl get better as time goes on i liked muppets from oz there where some things that they could have done better .

oh well maybe things will get better .
i hope that disney will have a enough sense to to make the mercindise better at disneyland and also have the Muppet babies things be more incuding dvds .

Fair enough Marky. You make a good point.
