It astounds me that people here regard the special fondly. It was the most hackneyed piece of tripe to ever have a Mup- wait a second, no, that's The Lady Gaga Special. Even still, this was pretty stupid. It's just exaggerated propaganda. They treat marijuana as if it's comparable to heroin...

As a fan of both Muppets, and PR, I'd definitely be interested in reading that as it's own thread. Looking forward to it!

Oh wow. Because Kevin's Elmo seemed slightly off in that appearance, to me at least. Something about the voice. That's why I thought it was Dillon, it was similar enough but slightly off.

Was that Ryan Dillon as Elmo, there? He does a good job.

Despite the reasons why, I'm happy that they recast Elmo. My opinion is that, with Clash gone, they might not be giving so much focus to Elmo anymore. They're keeping him around, but it seems like he'll be more of a team player now. Part of the ensemble cast, rather than the star, shall we say...

At least with Jacobson/Jacobsen, from a distance, the o can easily be mistaken as an e. But if you can master "Whit", then it can't be that hard to tackle "mire". At least we aren't seeing reviews crying out for more "Bobo the King Shrimp".

This is wonderful. I love Steve's snarkiness. He's quick with the comebacks. "Talk about a sinking ship..".

Ha. The Who?

Okay, I just saw the movie. My feelings are mixed. While it's an utter delight to see the Muppeteers (Jim: Muppet PERFORMERS!) back on the big screen, something about this movie felt off. Honestly, I think it was the celebrity cameos. It seemed less like "Oh, isn't it awfully funny to have...

I was just thinking about Scooter's role in this the other day. I wasn't a big fan of it, really. It seemed odd that they'd give overtly stereotypical gay mannerisms (I stress the word stereotypical) to Scooter, especially since Richard Hunt was both gay, and had passed on. It seemed like a...

Well, I can excuse Croaker, since KSY is a film and not a documentary. Croaker the "Actor" isn't the same Croaker that Kermit presumably grew up with. What bothers me though, however irrationally, Robin's still an adorable little frog! I was kind of hoping they'd take advantage of Vogel's...

Well, lately they do seem to be developing more original shows, I think they're on the rise again. We have the Creature Shop Challenge coming up, which, in addition to letting someone work with the Henson Co. (plus prize money) it also seems to be a way of advertising the company and what they...

Of course, if we follow the usual assumption of The Muppets being working actors, in-universe this is just another gig, so it doesn't really change anything.

Well in honour of Jane Henson, I'd like to see the old Sam and Friends Muppets somewhere in the film.

Cheers- Sam - Pepe the King Prawn (hokay?) :rolleyes: Woody - Walter :fanatic: Diane - Annie Sue Pig Rebecca - Miss Piggy :mad: Norm - Rowlf the Dog :sympathy: Cliff - Sam The Eagle :attitude: Frasier - Gonzo :concern: Lilith - Camilla :cluck: And for the spinoff Frasier Niles - Bert...

This is great, I'm loving the return of unexpected characters! The Muppets are at their best when they're unpredictable!

It's great to get character combinations that we haven't really seen lately, I like that they don't have Kermit or Piggy - they don't need to be in everything. I know Bill directed these segments, but I wonder who wrote them? Was it a concious decision to exclude Eric Jacobson's characters...

I'm loving the new Muppet ads. They barely even feel like Toyota ads, it seems more focused around the Muppets themselves. Loving the Electric Mayhem focus - it seems in the wake of 2011's The Muppets, the higher ups have started realising that there are more characters than Kermit, Piggy and...

That's precisely what I'm saying. I'm not saying it's impossible for an innovative game, just that it's unlikely we'll get one at this point, because as I said, it's just a licensed game, and as such won't get the level of gaming innovation it deserves. Combine that with the lack of Muppeteer...

I'm sure a well made engaging game is possible, but what I'm saying is that it's unlikely for such a thing to happen. I don't think that the required amount of effort would be put into such a game. I'm well aware that you'd have to translate them to CGI for a video game. What I'm saying is...
