Gonzo the Great: A Career Retrospective!

Image
Disney+ honored Gonzo's illustrious Hollywood journey with " Gonzo the Great: A Career Retrospective" featuring the daredevil himself  reminiscing about his film and  TV career. "Dive inside the mind of the one and only Gonzo the Great as we reflect on his decades-long career. Finding fame on The Muppet Show in 1976, Gonzo catapulted (sometimes quite literally) into icon status, starring in classics like The Muppet Christmas Carol (which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year!), and new Disney+ Originals, including # MuppetsHauntedMansion and # MuppetsNow . From motorcycles to tapioca, hear about his greatest moments and achievements."      Conveniently they don't mention any of the titles NOT owned by Disney like The  Muppets take Manhattan  and the VERY Gonzo centric  Muppets From Space, b ut it's still great to see Disney put an effort into showcasing Gonzo and the Muppets accomplishments.

D23 Fall Issue Muppet Mentions!

Image
The fall issue of Disney Twenty-Thee, Disney's official fan magazine just came out, and while The Muppets aren't featured, they are mentioned a few times.  Disney fan and Muppets Haunted Mansion guest Yvette Nicole Brown was asked who was her favorite Muppet to work. Luckily her favorite Muppet and her favorite to work with are one an the same.. Gonzo! Below she explains why: There were also some subtle Muppet mentions and allusions including using "It's Not Easy Being Green" as the headline for an article about She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: The Muppets (2015) guests Keegan-Michael Key was mentioned as part of the cast of the Disney's upcoming live action remake of  Pinocchio. See if you can spot the typo, Unfortunately, that was all the Muppet stuff in this issue of Disney Twenty -three, but I'm sure we'll be seeing more with The Muppet Christmas Carol 's 30th anniversary and Muppets Mayhem on the horizon.
