Who wants the future Muppet movies to be...

[Hubert]

I don't see why people think CGI is the devil on these forums. Face it, its good when used purposefully.

I don't think the majority of us do think CGI is the devil. I actually really like CGI, and I think it's a great thing, as long as it's used properly...the Muppets in CGI = not being used properly. But there are a ton of great uses for CGI.

Where is that performance capture clip of Kermit and Rizzo in CG? Does anybody remember that? Someone posted that like 10 years ago. It was odd.

That was from MuppetFest. There's a picture in the MuppetFest photo gallery under Day 2. Let me see if I can post it here.

I just saw the pictures people were referring to from Muppet Fest and I still stand by my opinion.

Thanks! I also thought there was some sort of clip of a head-to-toe walking CG Kermit with a Rizzo scurrying underneath him.

No, just no.

One of the core things that seperates the Muppets from any other entertainment property is that they exist in REAL LIFE and we believe they are real. So much of their comedy, if nothing else, revolves around this fact. But also, their improvisational skills, heart, warmth and uniqueness stems from their Puppetry.

No way.

WHAT! no! just no! the muppets are puppets! there the only thing left in classic entertainment that I like! evrything is CGI now all the upcoming disney movies...and that stuff! I don't like the look of that movie mainly because I see it evrytime I go to the movies! pleez....pleeze....please! don't make the muppets CGI!!

Put it this way, I'd like to see the Muppets as puppets replaced with CGI about as much as I would my own family. They have flaws, could have a few rough edges smoothed out with pixels but I wouldn't have them any other way! Leave CGI for Dinosaurs, Robots and Aliens! I personally feel CGI is the tool of the devil in a lot of peoples hands and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overused!

Agreed one hundred percent.

Wow, ok so i'm the minority

I know I don't want a "digitize" muppets either. I don't want them looking like PIXAR characters.

But TED does not look like CGI or digitized.....he actually looks like a REAL furry Life Like Stuffed animal in a REAL world. That is what I meant about CGI.....I don't want the Muppets to be CGI like Shrek, Kung-Fu Panda, or Toy Story.

They would still look like the actual Muppets with CGI animatronics like Ted.

Actually the new Muppets already went on that direction. Rememeber when they kidnapped Jack Black....Swedish Chef was CGI on that scene. And Walter was also CGI when they showed his full body walking on the sink.
