Where The Wild Things Are Movie

[lowercasegods]

Yeah, it could, but I'm looking forward to seeing some good ol' puppetry bring these characters to life.

 

[Kimp the Shrimp]

that would work also

 

[Blue Weirdo]

now that is cool.

I always thought Doglion looked like one of the creatures from this book.

 

[lowercasegods]

Me too! And then I found out that Jim Henson and Wild Things creator Maurice Sendak were good friends, so I started to make the connection. I have no doubt that Sendak's work was an indirect influence on at least some of the Muppet Show full-body monsters, so it's really excited to hear the Henson's or working on a Wild Things movie! It's just so perfect!

By the way, to all you guys who carried on the whole "Wahoo" thing from the beginning of this thread, you rule!

WAHOO!!

I think that the Jim Henson Company will do a fabulous job on this. They did so with Dr. Suess, so why not.

I agree. And we all can now tell where the real Muppet magic company is.
Hint: It's not MHC.

Truer words were never spoken, my friend.

And I also believe that Fraggle Rock is wholly Canadian!

 

[Fozzie Bear]

I HOPE he does this right! I loved that book forever, and when I lost my copy from as a kid, I went straight out and bought it again!! Every good home should have this book.

Do you really lowercasegods? That makes 2.46 of us!

I hope so too, Zozzie.
Q: Is Brian Henson more involed w/ MHC or the JHC?

 

[lowercasegods]

I truly do, Marky. I don't know what it is, whether it's Jerry Nelson giving Gobo a slight Canadian accent or that the production was shot in Toronto, but I just feel like the Fraggles' world is wholly Canadian, and I love it. I also feel the same way about Emmett Otter, but I don't expect anyone else to agree with me.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Brian would obviously be more involved with the JHC since he's President there.
