Well, thanks for pointing it out.
Let me tell you young’ens what you’re in for.
You’ll follow trends- fashion, music, cartoons, etc. That becomes your era. Then when you hit 40 or so, your interests change and anything that comes after is someone else’s era.
Like in my Sesame era, Mr. Hooper was around, Snuffy was imaginary, and Elmo didn’t exist. The Unpaved years. That was my time. Your time was radically different.

I dunno, I’m always up for looking at new material if it looks entertaining and catches my eye, no matter my age.

I consider MCC and MTI to be "twin" movies, because they have so many similarities to them:
  • Both are Disney-produced Muppet movies directed by Brian Henson and executive produced by Frank Oz
  • Both are adapted from literary classics that cast a prominent and prolific British actor in the lead human role, while the Muppets portray the memorable supporting cast
  • Both utilize Gonzo and Rizzo to great capabilities as comedic relief
  • In addition to the regular Muppet characters, both also threw the exact same Fraggle Rock puppets into the background as extras
  • Extra points for the fact that even after all of these years, both said prominent and prolific British actors consider these movies among the best things they've ever done in their careers, and are still proud of them to this day

I was just thinking of how Spongebob was referenced in Very Merry Muppet Christmas, and if that’s the REAL reason Snowth dislikes that movie. 🤔 :search:

This is a joke btw
