Hello everyone, I have loved Jim Hensons little creatures since I was a very little kid! I grew up watching his puppets come to life in front of my eyes. I am extremely interested in the behind the scenes of how the creatures were made and the concepts! I would really love to get in the field of this amazing art form and do it for the rest of my life! I very much look forward to learning as much as I can about the puppets, and getting to know people with the same passion for them as me!

Hello fellow Muppet enthusiasts! My name is Ryan. Growing up I enjoyed the Muppets and all things Jim Henson. However, I didn't discover my true passion for them until recently. I've started rewatching the entire Fraggle Rock series and just can't seem to get enough Muppet action.

My background is in video production, so naturally I created my own webseries. I'll post about that in another section of the forum. This website seems like not only a great tool for learning but also seems like a great community to ask questions and bounce ideas off of. So thanks for the add and hopefully I'll be able to chat with a bunch of other members.

Hi there. Thank you Muppet Central for accepting me into the group and a big Hello from Norfolk Island. Don't know where Norfolk Island is just Google it and you will see I virtually a small rock in the South Pacific.

I am new to the Puppet scene and grew up with Sesame Street and Muppet's and love them.

Norfolk Island, as far as I know, have had puppets or any puppet shows on the island, I aim to change that and have just started researching and learning as much as I can to try and get a group together.

My first goal is to make a puppet and then get that out into our community. So any pointers, hints and visits would be welcomed.

Love this site and Love the Jim Henson and the team of highly talented people and of course we should not forget the puppets themselves too!

That's about it and I hope to drop in as often as I can to visit this forum.

Please introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about your Muppet experiences and interests. Did you get into the Muppets at an early age or just recently? What are some of your favorite Muppet memories, characters, movies, or shows?

Whatever your perspective on Henson's creations you are welcome here and we're looking forward to getting to know you!

"Did you get into the Muppets at an early age or just recently?"

For me I grew up with them when there was a transition from Sesame Street to Muppet's. When I moved to Norfolk Island there was no TV and the best was to hire a TV and BetaMax machine to watch pre-recorded tapes. (We are not that archaic as that was some years ago...so I follow on with:wink:

However long time past we have had TV on Norfolk Island and internet for some time...but I didn't have the time...so now making the time and catching up with my favorite shows and aiming to bring puppetry to Norfolk Island.

No matter how much of a bad day one has had, the Muppet's always, no matter whether child or adult, brings a smile to the face and helps to make a hard day easier. Muppets you rock:big_grin:
