The Jim Henson Company and HIT Entertainment held a very special Fraggle Rock theatrical screening in Dallas for Henson's 50th Anniversary as part of the KidFilm Festival. A sold-out crowd of more than 200 adults and children were in attendance on Sunday January 22. Veteran Muppeteer Dave Goelz (performer of Boober, Gonzo and Bunsen) was the featured guest for this rare theatrical presentation of Fraggle Rock.

Find out all about the event below...

Wow, what a great article! Thanks for sharing with us Phil! I loved the picture of Karen and Dave holding Red and Boober dolls (especially since that's where my username came from!) I'm excited to see what types of new Fraggle things we'll see this year.

The biggest things that we have to look forward to is the film and seeing whether or not HIT will release any more DVD season box sets. Great news though. Thanks Phil.:excited: :smirk:

There was no new info on the proposed film unfortunately. If we hear something about it, we'll be sure to let everyone know.

I really liked the quote Dave gave:
Dave went on to elaborate on the special relationship he had with Jerry Juhl. "Jerry was a lot like Ernie. He was always grinning.
Maybe Karen Prell will start posting here again too! :excited:
