Vincent Price guest stars on The Muppet Show (1977)
Miss Piggy’s Treasury of Art Masterpieces from the Kermitage Collection is a picture book featuring sixteen (minus the “The Birth of Venus” parody) different muppet parodies of famous artwork, edited by Henry Beard and illustrated by John E. Barrett, and published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston in 1984.
A majority of the illustrations were originally from the Miss Piggy’s Art Masterpiece Calendar which were all reprinted with commentary from Miss Piggy herself and new additions that expanded on the “Kermitage Collection” from the calendar.
illustrations continued:
Henri Rousseau. The Sleepy Zootsy.
Rembrant van Rijn. Arisfroggle Contemplating the Bust of a Twerp.
Jan Vermeer. Young Lady Adorning Herself with Pearls (and Why Not?).
Grant Wood. American Gothique.
Pablo Picasso. Pig Before a Mirror.

Dave’s “Mouse Guard” is one of the best ongoing series I have seen in a long time. It is all-ages friendly, while being entertaining for people in their 20s and 30s without feeling like a nostalgia kick. Think medieval intrigue and action, with mice and other woodland creatures instead of people. GORGEOUS artwork, and well written stories.
The Creative Act of Listening to a Talking Frog
Kermit the Frog gives a talk on creativity and creative risk-taking
One of the best scenes ever committed to film has to be the bicycle scene from THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER (1981). It’s funny, it’s touching, it’s graceful, and it’s also a great technical feat, involving radio control, animatronics, a huge crane to operate the marionettes, clever editing techniques, the works.
Director Jim Henson sent in an application to be considered for a visual effects Academy Award, but it wasn’t even nominated (RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK won that year, beating DRAGONSLAYER).
the Muppets are autoreblog material for me.
