He's now posted another video, this time  Brian Henson and Drew Massey show  Adam Henson's digital puppetry system.  While it may be best known for its mastery of hand puppetry, the Jim Henson Company is also a place of major technological innovation. At Henson Studios, Brian Henson, Chairman of the Board at the Jim Henson Company, and puppeteer Drew Massey give Adam a demo of the Henson Digital Performance System, a proprietary system that allows performers to puppeteer digital characters in real time. Be sure to watch to the end, when the controls are handed over to Adam himself to try! You can see more  Adam Savage’s Tested   on his Youtube channel.

Christmas has the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, so why can't April Fool's Day have at least one? So this year, as part of Muppet Stuff's 10th Anniversary, let's look back at Muppet Stuff's April Fools' Day's that have come before. In 2014, Constantine took over, changed the name to the "Mappet Stuff" blog, then presented nothing but news and products about himself. He also took over Tough Pigs and The Muppet Mindset as well.  In  2015,  our site was taken over again, this time by the Chamberlain, who changed  the name to the " Skeksis Stuff" blog...with the appropriate tag line "hmmm hmmmm hmmmm mmmmmmmmm" He then of course presented nothing but news and products about ya know... Skeksis stuff.  The following year Muppet Stuff wasn't taken over, but presented Funko's Pre 1986  "Invisible Snuffy" Pop figure .  A few years later there was a showcase of  Disney+'s next wave of Muppet spinoffs ...

Leaked images of Hallmark's 2023 Dreambook reveal the company is releasing not one, but two Muppet ornaments this year. As you can see above this year's Muppet ornaments are Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker. There's a catch however, as they will packaged together in one box.  This marks Hallmark's second Beaker ornament - the first being Beaker with a metronome that plaid "Ode to Joy" from the YouTube short.  Sadly, it looks like neither of these ornaments have any sound features. Hopefully they're decently sized and last year's Animal ornament was MUCH smaller then previous installments.  Interestingly, there was no mention or any images of this year's Sesame Street ornaments(s).

Adam Savage visited  Jim Henson's Creature Shop and talked  John Tartaglia, Donna Kimball, AKA Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock 's Gobo and Mokey Fraggle to learn how Muppets work.  John and Donna show Adam just how complex (physically as well as mentally) it is to bring Muppets to life on film, drawing from the methods developed by Jim Henson himself. You'll never look at a Muppet performance the same way again!   You can see more  Adam Savage’s Tested   on his Youtube channel.  F raggle Rock: Back to the Rock  is  streaming on  Apple TV+ .

Entertainment Weekly got an exclusive first look at the upcoming Disney+ series Muppets Mayhem including photos from series! Below are some highlights from the article.  As we know, the so was co-created by Muppets veteran Bill Barretta and college friends Jeff Yorkes and Adam F. Goldberg. For Goldberg and Yorks  "it was about going deep on familiar, but largely unknown characters instead of using the panoply of the Muppets world to tell a story. "This is just about the band specifically," Goldberg says. "We don't have that deep bench of characters like when you do The Wizard of Oz or Treasure Island or A Christmas Carol. You could tell this giant story with the hundreds of characters that they have. We're telling a very small story about this band and where they've been and where they're going. It is about the band and not the tone of a variety show." Adds Yorkes: "We have the freedom to go anywhere with these characters — they're not ...

Oris teamed up with Kermit to release a special edition “Kermit Day” version of their ProPilot X Calibre 400 watch.  Oris and Disney’s The Muppets Kermit the Frog get together for a bit of fun and to create “Kermit Day” with a very special edition of the ProPilot X Calibre 400.  We’re inspired by what we call the Joy of Mechanics. The first function of every Oris watch, in the purest emotional, feel-it-in-yourbones sense, is to bring joy, to make people smile. That’s it. If an Oris watch can make someone’s day better, we’ve done our job.    For some time, we’ve been trying to find the ultimate expression of this and to make a watch that’s pure joy. And then it hit us. A collaboration with the easiest guy on the planet: Kermit the Frog from The Muppet Show. Kermit’s role is to entertain, to put a smile on our faces. He’s been doing it for generations. Could we do a watch with him?  It turns out we could. And we’re delighted, grinning from ear to ear, and so...
