Yes, I'm definitely new.
Hi~
I've been a lover of the Muppets for most of my life. I own most of the films and know of films others may have forgotten by now. I grew up with the Fraggles and the Muppet Show, adored Muppets Tonight while it was on (my mom and I loved Sam--she still wants a plush Sam but I can't find one), watched Muppet Babies as a kid (as well as Sesame Street)--the works. You name it, I've probably seen it. I still watch the Muppet Family Christmas (I wonder who remembers THAT one!) and a Muppet Christmas Carol every Christmas. It's tradition.
My mother always used to call me Miss Piggy. Later, I became one of the baby pigs, as Mom was Miss Piggy.
I have to admit though, Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal are still two of my all time favorites. I love the world Brian Froud and Jim Henson came up with. To this day, whenever I see Jim's name on a movie, I kind of know I'm going to enjoy it. Mirrormask was incredible!
It's amazing how much love goes into this.
I only thing that bothers me is that I can only pick one favorite muppet. I love Hoggle (which is the one I chose), but I love me some Rizzo and Gonzo, and the Critics (that's what I call them) and Beaker and the Swedish Chef. And of course, I will always be partial to Kermit and the Pig (as one of the band members (the one with the mustache
) always calls her). And Animal. I love Animal. Hehe. I know I've mentioned everyone's favorites, but lord, was it hard to choose. Especially since I love Ludo and all the goblins from Labyrinth and I LOVE FIZZGIG. Love. Love the Fizzgig.
Fuzzy Fizzgig of love.
