Disney Marketing Here is Google's cache of the ESPN homepage with Kermit's pic: http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:4lVAQJj2dcoJ:insider.espn.go.com/+%22Green%27s+Day%22+espn&hl=en And, here's the link to the actual article: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/columns/story?id=1995102 You guys...

Shame shame I know your name (Horace D' Fly) Hello McFly... We know that! :confused: The scene that Wocka is talking about is in the actual movie; however, in the trailer it's dubbed over by someone other than Frank Oz. :p I don't want to say any names, but I think someone (Horace D' Fly)...

Wocka I think you're right. It looks like Queen Latifah is dancing -- as well as everyone else. Perhaps they're all looking at Ashanti singing? I think the director put the puppeteers in the crowd to give us hardcore fans a shout out. :excited: Also, I got the link to the promo from...

Wocka, I think you're right. Would they really use a 'set shot' during the promo for the movie? Me thinks not! :rolleyes:

Did you see the website that includes screen shots from the Muppet Wizard of Oz promo? Here's the link if you haven't already seen it: http://toughpigs.com/ozteaser.htm If you scroll down to the middle of the page, you'll see 2 pictures of Queen Latifah as Auntie Em. In the picture on...

Future Direction... beaker, I think you make some valid points in your editorial, and I can tell you're really passionate about the future of the Muppets. (As am I.) I agree that a clear vision for the Muppets is necessary, especially given their somewhat shaky history. And, I also agree...

I think you're right. If the Muppets are able to generate enough momentum prior to Eisner's departure, the new CEO will certainly look to continue their growth. Let's hope Eisner continues his plan to extend the 'Muppet brand' before he leaves.

I think you meant "whole new department". Silly pants.

The Great and Powerful Wocka You seem to know everything Wocka.

Bill I agree. I think Bill is very talented. I wouldn't mind if he played an even greater leadership role at JHC. Hopefully young puppeteers like him will help the company create new, interesting projects.

Jeffrey Tambor and David Alan Grier I like those additions. I'm not thrilled with the entire cast, but I think Jeffrey Tambor and David Alan Grier are funny. One of my favorite shows is 'Arrested Development', and Jeffrey Tambor is hilarious on it. Plus, I really liked David Alan Grier on...

Link to the Reuters story: Disney CEO Eisner to Step Down in Sept 2006 Could Eisner stepping down spell trouble for the Muppets? I know Michael Eisner played a key role in the decision to purchase the Muppets and had high hopes for their future at Disney. Here’s what he said in an...

Flop shmop! We got a winner on our hands.

I agree. No reason for Pepe to wear a dog costume. It's actually funnier if Dorothy has a pet shrimp -- excuse me, prawn. :rolleyes:

I thought Seymour was awesome! Especially in that MT sketch of their Vaudville act. That cracked me up. Am I the only one?? I never see that funny elephant in anything. (Maybe we'll see him in Oz?) :)

If it's 5% forever than that makes me feel better. I thought they meant 5% during this 4 year 'consulting deal' with Disney. Does anyone know the revenue sharing breakdown between JHC and Disney during their four year contract? (Probably none of my business -- but worth asking!) :)

Lady Holiday = Loony Holiday So that Miss Piggy doesn't have to play so many parts, maybe Lady Holiday should play one of the wicked witches. She's crazy!! Has anyone heard anything about Chris Curtin? Do we, the Muppet fans, like him? I hope he's not a tool.

Wow, 5% is that all? Seems somewhat small.

Hi guys, I was just thinking about the Jim Henson Company's financial situation. Now that they no longer own the Muppets, do they still have money coming in? I know the Creature Shop must bring in a somewhat steady stream of cash, but that (in my eyes) seems to be their only reliable...

I agree that would be a funny inside joke. But that's the problem -- it's an inside joke. For the large percentage of viewers, they won't recognize Frank Oz. I think it would only be funny for the diehards (like us) that will recognize Frank Oz, immediately know his name, and understand his...
