Wow, Yorrick is back? Trippy! And they replaced Kermit with a yellow Fraggle lady? Very very cool surprise. Brian Henson is looking rather sexy and rugged the older he gets.While it'd be nice if Brian Henson could work in closer capacity with Disney for the Muppets(apparently his characters are MIA in the film), seeing him present at D23 is quite cool.

And holy crap, Jamie is right...total Muppet legend invasion on two fronts in San Francisco...ugh, so wish I had gone this weekend instead of last

Here's D23 honoring Jim Henson with a great video tribute and after the "Grown Accustomed" sketch Brian talks about some of his memories with Jim.

Wow, they actually shot footage from the first season Raggmopp segment? I don't know if it appeared in the 60 Minutes behind-the-scenes appearance or Of Muppets and Men, but I find it odd that a first season segment had behind-the-scenes footage.

Also at the D23....

Details of the Toy Story cartoon paired with The Muppets

I call shenanigans... there hasn't been a toy story kid's meal since... uh... well, TS2... and even then, Buzz hasn't had once since Buzz Lightyear of Star Command... unless there was a Pixar heroes one years back. Cars was officially the last one to have anything with it.
