I almost wish one of the writers for Scrubs was a diehard muppet fan *lol*
Someone needs to actually watch the FR tv series again if they don't know what sort of jokes to make *lol*
We're talking about Fraggles they live underground, steal radishes, talk to a wise trash heap. Are these tired ideas?
I want a movie with no nemesis, no love interest, no hero, no adversary of any kind, no friendship, no betrayal, no triumph, because these things have all been done before.
Of course people that say the past (in terms of tv shows) is over and done with are not going to truly enjoy a FR movie no matter what. But I don't think they are the target for such a movie in the first place, even if it just played like a very well done long episode and was 100% true to it's roots...
And there is another muppet movie in the works besides by the way ;)

On the contrary, I worked very hard to make a distinct difference between "Shrek" and "Hoodwinked." Sorry if it didn't come through for some.
The thing was it wasn't all that silly, or rather, only silly, it actually had a lot of serious heartfelt moments and deeper meaning. We just don't want to see that lost it order to make it 'just a kids movie' because while it may have started as just a silly show in the beganing, it really had many lasting messages toward the end. There is such thing as a thoughtful children's film you know, that older people without kids could go to. If nothing else muppet movies have taught us that ;).
You hear that producers? Don't screw this up!
Indeed. And that is what Cory is trying to make out of this...a film enjoyed by everyone, regardless of age.
"The problem I see with this, however, is the severe lack of Jim."
Jim was rarely around for the production of the original show, remember? He was working on Dark Crystal & Labryinth at the time, so the upkeep of the Fraggle franchise was given to his performers and writing staff. Now, since we are hopeful to get the core cast back in this film, all we need is writing channeling the brilliance of the late Jerry Juhl and musical talents in the same vein as Balsam and Lee. I just pray that the whimsical theme is still done right and not as a mere remake (that is, if it's included at all).
"If the high fantasy meets folksie wisdom atmosphere and story telling of the Fraggle franchise can be ressurected along with the puppets,"
The puppets will be resurrected for this film. Karen Prell performing Red again for the many fans who purchased the original series on DVD is proof that at least some of the core cast is willing to roll with this venture.
"You hear that producers? Don't screw this up!"
They can't. If they did, not only would they have hordes of fans from all corners of the world on their tails, but they would also have to face down the legal giant INTERPOL, which is basically the United Nations of international properties (of which Fraggle Rock was among the first for what's considered to be children's programming).
