[TheJimHensonHour]

I think you meant Gordon and Olivia.

haha my bad

 

[Muppet Matt]

Did they have to make a new Big Bird puppet for the bluebird scenes?

 

[FutureMuppeteer]

ok, I have plenty of questions now. I will take the ones I think he can answer and select 10 of them. Remember, he was a behind the scenes guy, he might not know all the muppet questions...he is a techie.

 

[FutureMuppeteer]

I have gathered the 10 questions. I was unable to use of of the muppet related questions like about the actual muppeteers but here are the questions I selected...I really hope you like these..

Was there really a blue big bird? Or was it lighting?

How was the story and/or idea for this film developed?

Were there any deleted scenes?

What was it like working with Dave Thomas and Joe Flaherty?

Do you know of any major changes between the original script and finished film?

What was it like to work with Carroll Spinney?

How long was the film in production?

What did they do with the Sesame Street set they used in the film?

Was Jim Henson really involved with this project as much as he was with some of his other Muppet projects?

What is your favorite memory of working on the movie??


I hope these will make an interesting interview...

I allready asked that question..you should read before you post..

 

[FutureMuppeteer]

it was asked by both of you...so, I was going to ask it. Chill out...lol

 

[minor muppetz]

Well, it's friday. Did you get to do your interview? How was it? I think it would be too obvious to ask to post the answers....

 

[FutureMuppeteer]

being a teacher he is very buzy...the interview is going to be done...I promise. He has the questions and I have to work around his timetable. so, anytime that is good for him is good for me. but...he did answer one question for me...it was a giant blue bird, it was not lighting. more on that when the interview happens.
