-I loved the Figs. This is what the Cratchit kids in MCC SHOULD HAVE looked like, but no, No-Balls Henson had to be lazy.
I'm glad you liked the movie, but I don't agree with most of your complaints, this one struck out at me the most.
The "figs" would have been weird, a weird mix of frogs and pigs would have been extremely weird. Plus, it's suggested to stay away from complicated subjects in family films. Shrek was brave for that and had those Donkey-Dragon creatures, but then of course, Shrek also uses "the A word" quite a lot and many other crude jokes.
Wait...WHAT did you just call Brian Henson?
