Although they never really went away completely, it seems as if the Muppets as we old-timers knew them are back, and in full force! When the Walt Disney Company acquired the Muppet properties in 2004, the Muppets had just about faded into obscurity. They were seen around on the occasional TV special, interview show, or direct to DVD movie, but had not been able to reach a broad audience for awhile.
In case you’ve been under a rock for the past few days, you may have missed this terrific video of the Muppets performing the classic Queen song, “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
This YouTube video went positively viral via Twitter and other social networking feeds yesterday. There’s a reason: It truly brings us back to the days of classic Muppet mayhem! It has everything – the classic characters intermixed with the newer and lesser known Muppets. It has clucking chickens, Beauregard playing air guitar on a mop, and the Mahna-Mahna guys singing backup. Who couldn’t love that!
As you can see, I made some progress over the weekend! We’re beginning to get to the “adding features” phase of development. I just need to complete the body, arms, and hands, and then I’ll move on to adding facial features. I need to carve a nose and ears, and attach hair.
I’m moving a bit slower than normal due to life issues, and I’m currently working on two projects at once.
I know — excuses, excuses!
With the 40th Anniversary of Sesame Street now behind us, and this season underway, I wanted to share my thoughts about yesterday’s season premiere. Let me preface my thoughts by saying this: It’s been a long time since I watched Sesame Street from start to finish. I’ve watched segments, seen clips, and read reviews, but I hadn’t actually watched the program on TV in 15 years or more.
This was episode 4187. Yes, you read that right. The four thousand, one hundred and eighty-seventh episode. What causes a show, any show, to last that long? I think there are two answers.
Diane began performing as a puppeteer when she was only six years old. Her first marionette, Clippo the Clown, a gift from her Grandmother, accompanied Diane to school every year through college. As an adult, Diane began making and performing hand puppets. She writes the shows, fabricates the puppets and props, performs all of the puppetry, and even serves as her own lighting and sound engineer!
