Me omw to a social event (I changed my mind about wanting to go)
The history of the Muppets and Disney in 4.5 minutes! (1989 to today)
This is a very fast paced video, so you can slow it down to .75 if needed.
Have you ever wondered why or how Disney acquired the Muppets? Have you wondered why the Muppets have been MIA for the past few years? Fear not! I have created this short break down just for you!
Would you consider signing the Change petition to save the Muppets Vision 3D? https://chng.it/2NT4hgg9bz

I just watched the new Jim Henson documentary…
Overall it was very good, well paced, great visuals and editing. I learned a lot about Jim Henson and the company that I didn’t before and more behind the scenes that I hadn’t seen/heard which is always a treat!
I cried three times. 🫣👌 I had to fight the primal urge to pause the documentary and point out to my family where and what movie/show/episode every clip was from. This was my “did you know Viggo Mortensen actually broke his toe” scene.
I will say, I do think they very QUICKLY went over the disney merger and didn’t even mention the fallout with Disney after Jim’s death.

The main problem I had was that SOME puppeteers got spot lights, interviews or arrows pointing out the individuals. And while I appreciate that these individuals got some recognition (which they 100% should), I think the documentary should have been consistent and do this with every new important/fundamental puppeteer to the film.
I alreay have!!! I was able to EASILY point out Karen Prell, Louise Gold, Richard Hunt, Jerry Nelson, Kevin Clash, Steve whitmire, etc. But an average viewer wouldn’t know who is who and what they contributed to the company!
I just think it’s intriguing who they chose to highlight and who they left out.
And I’ve noticed this happen in other muppet documentaries, like “Street Gang,” where they barely glossed over Richard Hunt and Jerry Nelson’s contributions to the show. (I’ve mentioned this problem here before. (Queer erasure during pride month? 🙄))
It would be such an easy problem to fix! Just a quick arrow to point out any new puppeteer or cast member to the Jim Henson Company. Maybe list their job/their characters so a main stream audience could identify them.
I can think of several founding members who are still alive today that were not interviewed. Maybe these people were asked to come in, IDK, but I would have loved to hear from more people you don’t hear from often.
I could definitely tell the documentary was really trying to avoid the “Steve Whitmire” sized elephant in the room, even though he was in SO MANY shots. I can guarantee that if he was still with the company he would have been featured heavily in the documentary.

One last thing…

Rizzo appreciation post. Let's have a moment of silence for our favorite Rat. 🐀
Rizzo went through so much crap in the 90's Muppet movies.
Next we have the worst offender when it comes to wrecking Rizzo's life... Muppets from space!
F in the chat for Rizzo the Rat. 😔
He went through so much crap in the 90's Muppet Movies.
Now we are on Treasure Island
Next movie is the worst offender to Rizzo.... Muppets from space. 😱
An appreciation post for all the crap Rizzo had to go through in the 90's muppet movies...
This is what I do when I'm bored 😅
Rizzo really went through so much crap in the 90's muppet movies.
The next part will be the other half of this movie, then I'll do Treasure Island, and finally Muppets from space.
