I agree. Star-power in Muppet films is lacking these days. They get vogue-popular stars who whither and fade in a few years.

I would rather see a story about the Fraggles and some non-descript cameoes of actors who are not so "popular" and who can actually appear in the movie without that "Hulk Hogan" advertisement we saw in MFS. That stunk.

Yeah like some classy stars like Tom Hanks, Dick Van Dyke, Ellen Degeneres, Billy Crystal, Bill Cosby. I want to see those kinds of people in Muppet films.

I really feel confident about this project and while I dont feel it will fair well at the box office, I think us true Muppet fans will be beyond satisfied with the project. Although I might be wrong as I didnt think The Wallace and Gromit movie was going to do well either.

I expected it to do okay. Wallace and Gromit seems to be quite a rage these days.

I kind of thought the Wallace and Gromit rage was like a few years ago.

I think that may have been its peak, but people still enjoy it. Its sorta like South Park. It was huge about 5 or so years ago and now its just sorta floating around but still liked by groups.

Who owns rights to the Fraggles?

hi, I've been "out of the loop" a little :smile:

Who owns rights to produce the Fraggles? JHC still or Disney?

thanks! :smile:
