EVEN MORE Muppet Disney Junior stuff

 As you probably know by now, The Muppets are teaming up with Disney to make an interstitial show. There's even videos of The Muppets officially at the Disney Junior headquarters!
 Once again, it still sounds a bit cute for my liking.. But, I'll still watch it to review for this website. There's a whole bunch of articles created about the whole Muppets-Disney Junior thing, so shall we look at one? ( It's from The Niagara Frontier Publications.)
 It says, " Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and other beloved Muppets star in Disney Junior's 'Muppet Moments', a new short-form series of amusing conversations between Muppets and young kids about everyday topics such as apologies, favorite foods, and manners.
 " The series will debut on Disney Channel with four shorts premiering Friday, April 3 ( 8:25, 8:55, 9:25 and 9:55 A.M), and a new short airing daily through Friday, May 8.
 ( Hey! Didn't I tell you people that it would only run 1 season, then get cancelled marathon style? Now, back to the article.)
 " New shorts will continue to roll out throughout 2015 and also will be available on WATCH Disney Junior.
 " Nancy Kanter, executive of original programming and general manager at Disney Junior Worldwide said, ' The Muppets have been a part of nearly every family's life, and we are delighted to bring back fond memories of these iconic characters for parents, and create new ones for the youngest members of the family. Muppet Moments highlight The Muppets at what they do best: making kids and families laugh while showing compassion and heart. Our hope is that  viewers will come away seeing how funny and special The Muppets can be.'
 " Kermit the Frog added, ' In show business, they say never work with kids animals. On Muppet Moments, we break both those rules and a lot more - and the results are fun, silly, and even a little bit inspiring.'
 " In addition to Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and Fozzie Bear, Muppet Moments will feature appearances by The Great Gonzo, Animal, Beaker, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Rowlf, Bobo, The Newsman, Rizzo, Sam Eagle and Pepe the King Prawn.
 " For 60 years, the Muppets have captured audiences with their unique blend of heart and humor. The Muppets, created by visionary Jim Henson, are among the world's most iconic and beloved characters. Led by the world's most famous amphibian, Kermit the Frog, The Muppets have starred in eight feature films, Emmy-award winning television series and specials, Webby-award-winning online videos, as well as hundreds of press appearances worldwide."
 So, that's the article and my article for today. See you tomorrow!

More Muppet show Disney Junior thingy whatever news

 Hello, Muppet fans! The reason I'm reporting to you people today is because today we officially have more news about the interstitial show. Disney Junior will team up with the Muppets to make a brand new interstitial show on Disney Channel!
 Our first piece of news will be the day the show will be debuting: April 3rd. Everybody, get your DVRs set up for whatever show is going to be on April 3rd, just in case The Muppet show will be on someplace in between the shows.
 Our second piece of news is these videos giving us a taste of just how cute Disney Junior will be giving the Muppets. It's like The Muppets just randomly asked, " Give us the cute treatment!" They're supposed to be for adults!
 Well, here are the videos in which you could judge for yourself:

  For some reason, I could only find this video, and not the other 2.. Well, just enjoy ( or not enjoy) the video I posted. It isn't really that good, but who cares?

New Series called Muppet Fan Interviews!

 Hi-ho, Muppet fans! Today, I am starting a new series here on The Muppet Fan called Muppet Fan interviews, where I interview some highly dedicated Muppet fans. Today, we are going to be interviewing a guy named Ryan. So, let's get on with the questions:

The Muppet Fan: Hello, Ryan!
Ryan: Hello!
TMF: Okay, let's get straight to the questions. What Muppet feature films have you seen?
R: Okay, so I've seen the one where Walter joins ( The Muppets). I've also seen Muppets Most Wanted, and have also seen Muppets Treasure Island and The Muppets Take Manhattan. There's one more.
TMF: Who is your favorite Muppet, and why?
R: Cookie Monster, because he loves cookies. And, because he's just, like, awesome.
TMF: What Muppet Show episodes ( you can give us a description of the ones you have seen)  have you seen?
R: The ones that I've seen-- hmm, the only one I've ever seen is the first episode of The Muppet Show.
TMF: Have you ever seen any other Muppet productions besides their feature films, and Muppet Show and Sesame Street episodes?
R: Let me think.. I've seen a really funny episode of Muppets Tonight. Muppet Fan?
TMF: What?
R: " Once, there was a little ant.." CRASH!!! " Why'd you kill the ant?"
TMF: That's a great episode. What's your favorite Sesame Street moment?
R: This is really making me think. I like the dots in the first episode of Sesame Street.
TMF: I heard you have seen frogfan76.
R: Yes, I have.
TMF: What's your favorite frogfan76 moment?
R: The one where he throws his Walter plush out of the window during his morning routine.
TMF: What Muppets merchandise do you own?
R: Well, I own the first season of The Muppet Show on DVD. Uh, I own Kermit and Fozzie puppets, just because. Let me think. I probably have more stuff. I have the Muppets DVD where Walter joins. I definitely think I have more stuff. I have a Cookie Monster stuffed animal. And another Cookie Monster stuffed animal.
TMF: What's the name of that song?
R: Of what song?
TMF: What's the name of THAT song?
R: " The Rainbow Connection" by Kermit sung in The Muppet Movie, and also a lovely rendition by frogfan76.
TMF: How do you feel about Muppet-Vision-3-D closing to make a Frozen show?
R: Like, I feel like it wasn't the best Muppet thing that The Muppets have ever made. But, it's still good. And, I liked it and I think they shouldn't have closed it. They shouldn't have closed it because of Frozen. They're turning everything into Frozen now. They shouldn't call it " Disneyland," they should start calling it " Frozenland" now.
TMF: What's your favorite Muppets Tonight Muppet, and why?
R: The blue elephant, Seymour because he crushes a ant. ( referring to the Rick Moranis episode)
TMF: What's the name of that song?
R: WOULD YOU STOP ASKING ME THIS QUESTION?
TMF: What are your thoughts on my blog?
R: What do you mean?
TMF: What do you think of my blog?
R: Um, I think it feels good that you're interviewing me. And, I think that you write really good Muppet stuff on your blog.
TMF: Thank you for that comment. Do you think the original Snuffy was creepy?
R: Yes.
TMF: Why?
R: Because, he looks like he had neon yellow eyes.
TMF: How do you feel about Jim Henson dying young, at the age of 53?
R: If he was still alive, he could've walked up to the people at Disney and say, " DON'T take Muppet-Vision-3-D away!"
TMF: Are you saying we should start a protest?
R: ( laughing) I think they would say, " GET OUT!"
TMF: Good thoughts. By the way, on my blog, I recently started a petition to get Muppet-Vision back. What do you think?
R: I think it's a great idea.
TMF: We haven't gotten any signatures yet. What do you think?
R: I think if Walt Disney was still alive, he wouldn't even make Frozen. So, Muppets could still be there.
TMF: Well, I think that Frozen is very Disney-esque, except in a bad way.
R: Yes, it is.
TMF: If Jim Henson was still alive, what do you think he would've said about Muppet-Vision-3-D?
R: I think he would've said, " You're not talking my ideas away to put a stupid show in."
TMF: Just to let you know, Jim Henson never said " stupid" in his life.
R: He should've, at least once.
TMF: You know what's even more sad?
R: What?
TMF: Is that Muppet-Vision-3-D was Jim Henson's last project before he died.
R: Seriously? They should really  take Frozen away.
TMF: If I showed you a video of Muppet-Vision-3-D, what would your reactions be?
R: I've already seen it, and I think it's really funny.
TMF: If you were related to any of the Muppet performers, how would you react?
R: I would be like, " OH MY GOSH!!! CAN I HOLD THE PUPPET THAT YOU PUPPETEER?"
TMF: What's the name of that song?
R: STOP!
TMF: Do you think me or frogfan76 is the Bestest Internet Muppet Fan?
R; I would probably go with you. 'Cause frogfan76 makes his videos just to be funny.
TMF: On my blog posts, I try to be funny except usually fail..
R: ( laughing) I think that comment you just said was funny!
TMF: If Frozen was not made, would the world be a better place?
R: Yes, because Frozen is ruining Disney.
TMF: What's just sad is that I literally just heard neighbors singing Frozen.
R: It's 6:00.
TMF: That was a very random comment. Do you know who Charlie Chaplin is?
R: Nope.
TMF: ( stares at camera) You see, that's what's wrong with America. What are your thoughts toward Elmo?
R: I think Elmo should learn to say the word " I."
TMF: Do you prefer Kermit or Fozzie?
R: Kermit, because, uh, Kermit is better.
TMF: How do you feel about the constant FaceTimes that I always request for you?
R: I like that we FaceTime each other and that we are friends, because I don't get to see you in person that often. ( shows TMF his foot) Look at my foot.
TMF: Cool foot... How would you feel if you got to meet Jim Henson?
R: I would probably be like, " CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH BECAUSE YOU CREATED THE MUPPETS?? YOU PERFORMED KERMIT!"
TMF: How would you feel if I randomly started playing the piano right now?
R: This is a Muppets interview...
TMF: Whatever. Have you ever seen Muppet Babies?
R: I've seen a clip of Muppet Babies in a Muppet movie.
TMF: THAT WAS IN MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN, NOT THE SHOW MUPPET BABIES! Take a wild guess. Who do you think performed Gonzo the Great?
R: I DON'T KNOW! Um... Miranda Lambert?
TMF: NOOOO!!!! Y'see, average Muppet fan here. Average Muppet fan. Dave Goelz performed Gonzo the Great, not Miranda Lambert.
R: Okay!
TMF: What is your 2nd favorite Sesame Street character?
R: Uh.. Elmo.
TMF: Why?
R: Because, I like Elmo.
TMF: Fantastic explanation, Ryan.
R: People are going to think this interview was made up, even though it wasn't.
TMF: Yeah, because even people like me can't make this stuff up.
R: I probably have the biggest imagination in The United States. I'm surprised I thought of... POTATOES!
TMF: Question: do you like mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes?
R: Sweet potatoes. This is turning into a non-Muppet interview.
TMF: Just to let you know: You can't hear it through a blog, but we are cracking up right now.
R: ( laughing so much) I know. My head fell off.
TMF: People of America, don't worry: Ryan's head did not fall off. When you think of Muppets, what do you think of?
R: DRUMS!
TMF: When  you think of Muppets, you think of drums?
R: When I think of Animal, I think of drums.
TMF: WELL, I TOLD YOU TO THINK ABOUT MUPPETS!!!!
R: POTATOES!
TMF: What is it with you and potatoes?
R: I didn't even have potatoes for dinner tonight.
TMF: That was a wonderful sentence. Bravo.
R: Is the interview over?
TMF: I don't know. Do you want it to be?
R: No.
TMF: If you saw Kermit with a big head, what would you think of?
R: POTATOES!
TMF: All you can say is potatoes.
R: ( contiulously saying potatoes) I have to whisper a secret to you.
TMF: What is it?
R: Potatoes.
TMF: Hey, Ryan!
R: Yeah?
TMF: What's the name of that song?
R: ( starts singing, " POTATOES!") That's the name of that song. Can we wrap this interview up?
TMF: Sure! Bye, people! That was just THE Muppet Fan interviewing his friend Ryan, and join us tomorrow when we talk about something. Hopefully.

Even More Muppet-Vision-3-D news

Well, there's some more news on Muppet-Vision-3-D, except it's not even news. Via Instagram, I asked a fellow Muppet fan if they wanted to write on my blog. They said, " Yes!" then wrote, " I'm honestly very shocked and disappointed. As a hardcore fan, it was a destination that was on my bucket list.. guess it's not happening. Haha I say we start a petition!"
 To which I replied, " For my liking, that doesn't seem like a good idea.. I SAY WE GRAB SOME ANIMALS AND BARGE INTO DISNEY... No, I'm just kidding. A petition would be fine." So, I just started a petition. Right here. Right now.
 All you need to do is comment on this post saying your name, and I'll put down your name for the petition. I don't care if you comment as a guest, or whatever you do. I won't present it to Disney until we get 500 signatures. I hope that's enough.
 Sorry for the short post today and for the lack of posting. Just be here in 9 days when I will report my short Muppety-filled trip to New York City!

More Muppet-Vision-3-D news

  I just read the Mouse Planet Disneyland newsletter, and I was very, very appalled at what I saw.. I saw very strange photos of what used to be Muppet-Vision-3-D...... WOW.
  There's a lot of changes, that are very visible. How about we compare? Muppet-Vision-3-D against whatever the heck this Frozen show is called out. Just saying, Muppet-Vision-3-D will win..... by a lot.
  Us Muppet fans are still getting over the fact that Disney does not want Muppet-Vision-3-D to continue at California Adventure.... WOW.... I'm surprised that I even have to report this.
  Comparison of the two. Here is a comparison of the outdoor areas:



                                                                                              

I need to give the photo credit to Family Vacation Getaways at Los Angeles!

 

Let's compare? Shall we? This Muppets banner has six lovable characters, while the Frozen banner has none.. Point, Muppets. The Muppets has film strips rolling while it says Muppet-Vision-3-D, while the Frozen thing says its title on ice... I think that's a point for Muppets. The Frozen thing looks more like a palace, where The Muppets looks like a theater... That's a close call. One of my advisors has just informed me that a theater is more interesting than a palace. Okay, next photos!!!!!!



 

Yeah, so... There's a poster saying Crown Jewel Theater going against an awesome Muppets poster which also features The Muppets' autographs. The Crown Jewel theater has girl colors, while The Muppets have the Muppets' traditional colors and also blue-and-white. I think The Muppets will win this.

 

 

 Let's compare the content.. While I have not seen the Frozen show, I can almost garuntee it is not as good as The Muppet-Vision-3-D ( a.k.a 4-D). Frozen has very stupid sing-along songs, with the live stage performance. Fozzie, Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the rest of the gang are most likely better.

 

Sadly, California fans will need to say goodbye to The Muppets at Disneyland... I feel bad. There is hardly any more news to report, but I will get back to everyone about the subject.
