wow, i didn't know that

There is something really architypal about Cantus and the Minstrels - were they based on any mythological/fairy tale characters? are they composites? are they Bob Dylan & The Band (note the parallels between Robbie Robertson and Murray)? or are they just Henson genius? Probably just Henson...

This is AWESOME

Not to ruin Dr Van Neuter for anyone, but the similarities between him and Andy Dick are disgustingly close.

I just discovered this song by accident through this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Henson It's a beautiful and moving tribute to Jim (listen to Tom's voice begin to break down during the performance), i'm not sure if it's on the Muppet Central Radio, and i strongly recommend getting your...

Actually the website (SaveDisney) was the best thing he could have done. Its a great site, and has gained a huge amount of publicity and support, and his resignation from the board, allowed him to further his cause

In all the Disney bashing over the last year, a question came to mind, Would everyone have a problem with Disney's aquisition of The Muppets if CEO Michael Eisner is finally ousted, and Roy E Disney (who has been advocating a commitment to quality at the company) regains control? Or...

Totally Worth Seeing I've had this on tape since i was 7yrs old, and is very entertaining. It has some memorable moments such as Kermit as Indiana Jones, Miss Piggy stuck in the cement at the Chinese Theatre, seeing Kermit's home swamp (nothing like Kermit's Swamp Years) and the symbolic...

A bit off topic but... I was reading that, adjusting to inflation, Star Wars (1977) and Gone With The Wind (1939) are still the highest grossing movies of all time (both earning over $1 billion). Investigating this i found out that, adjusting for inflation, The Dark Crystal (1982) and The...

Personally i feel that CGI isn't an effective enough tool at the moment in relation to its use - all of the best SFX movies that have used CGI have intermixed it with puppetry/animatronics/models and other practical effects (Jurassic Park, T2, ID4, etc) movies now are being made with fully CGI...

Does anyone have any information of that little yellow frog, i think one of the administrators (Mr Chapman?) used him as his avatar, who sang about the plight of the rainforest - i have only ever seen a clip of him and would like to know more

Does anyone know how many episodes have been produced, with original material or by mix and matching segments - its something that has always fascinated me

Actually making a Gremlins 3 would be closer to making a Ghostbusters 3, or Back To The Future 4 - there is a large fanbase and a cult status surrounding them, let alone a legacy - comparing Gremlins 3 to Starship Troopers 2 (with far less cult status and hardly a beloved or memorable legacy) is...

"No-one steps on a Church in my town!" Dont criticise Ghostbusters, even in the least bit - its the best movie ever made!

Buck-Beaver - dude you blew me away with your analysis; Its nice to hear some optimism - i myself am pessimistic with the prospect - a recent interview with Joe Dante whose success was at its height in the 80s, and of course most famous for the Gremlins movies, said that he WOULD'NT and...

I've just read that MirrorMask, supposedly following the tradition of DC and The Labyrinth, will be a combination of live action and CG animation. I don't know about anyone else, but that sent a shudder down my spine - not that i have anything against CGI in the hands of a master craftsman...

To those personally e-mailed me (sorry i accidently deleted the messages), i have just moved house, and just found the videos (i'm compiling a list). Getting copies of the vids made (on UK Pal VHS format) is proving difficult due to the digital revolution - however please be patient - i'm...

Gary Kurtz / Found the link Also Gary Kurtz, the producer of the movie, and of course, Star Wars producer, exclaimed once that Star Wars helped break down predjudices against Fantasy movies as well as Sci-Fi, theres a good chance that The Dark Crystal would've been made without SW I also...

Star Wars ----Dark Crystal link On one of the major Dark Crystal fansites, sorry don't know which one exactly, one hardcore Star Wars who got his hands on a very early draft of 'A New Hope' sent the webmaster a copy of the screenplay noting very close similarities between the movies; Notably...
