The screenings don't necessarily travel with the exhibit. Each individual facility comes up with its own activities.

For example, Orlando has film screenings. Atlanta had appearances by Steve Whitmire and Dave Goelz - with Kermit and Gonzo.

I'm sure whatever they decide to come up with will be fantastic!

Well let's just hope that something good comes up, especially if it's close to where I live (personally speaking). :smile:

One my favorite specials of all time is Muppet Family Christmas. I think Danny Horn from Tough Pigs made the point best - Sesame Characters are owned by Sesame Workshop, Fraggles are owned by Henson, and Muppets are owned by Disney. It seems like a bad divorce - you get custody of these children, etc etc. I asked how well the companies work together - can Kermit appear on Sesame, etc etc. Craig (I think partly appeasing the Disney people in the audience) said everyone communicates very well, and while it is very challenging, the Jim Henson Legacy works extremely hard to point out that even though we may never see Kermit introduce Emmet Otter again - it's stll Jim's work and we should appreciate the peice overall rather than nitpick at the things that aren't there anymore. But overall he says everyone plays nice.

Did you happen to ask if he thought there'd be a chance of that being released on TV or DVD again anytime soon, due to the presence of Fraggle Rock characters?

Craig's comments seemed to indicate that won't be happening anytime soon, but he made no specific reference to it.

But, if there's a market for it - and there's money to be made - I'm sure the 3 companies can work together to make it happen.
