I suspect she thought it was just going to be another regular muppet movie with Fozzie Bear. Creepy muppet bird things fighting to the death still haunt my nightmares. If this movie does get made and the trailer starts showing up on tv, I will probably wet myself. I am, however, PSYCHED for a Fraggle movie.

Dark Crystal was ALWAYS far better than the campy "The Muppets guest-starring David Bowie" that was the Labyrinth. Dark Crystal still holds up as a rare and brilliant Fantasy film, and Brian Froud's production design is absolutely gorgeous and timeless. Since Froud is still alive, I expect that he'll be on board with this, in which case it'll be stunning... Can't wait! But yeah, hoping the CG is just used to augment rather than for the whole thing. Once you have CG, the audience expects celebrity voices and inane humour. And once that happens, its all over. The Garthim scared the crap out of me as a kid.

This is Jim Henson studios after all. :P But if I remember right, some of the backgrounds and invironments will be done in CGI. I'm guessing for far off veiws with things, like planets and creatures moving in the background and such. Also for the core of the planet stuff, if we do get to see that in the movie. This movie is going to be so awesome. They’ve said that it will be all done with animatronics and puppets, like the original. This is Jim Henson studios after all. :P

I would like to ask that they film the movie similar fashion as the orginal with animatronics and puppets. Not everything has to be done in CG. I also feel it be great sense of nostalgic continuity like the two films were made within a few years of each other kinda feeling instead of 30 years apart. I loved Dark Crystal.

It's one of my childhood favorites and I'm excited to see a return to this world/mythology. Guess I know what I'm re-watching tonight...thanks for the post! Hey John,

I was just thinking the other day, are they still working on these movies, are they ever going to happen? I was thinking and hoping they were already in production, oh well. Atleast they finally will be "soon". Glad to hear they think the scripts are so good aswell. Oh, I see now, IMDb is saying The Power of the Dark Crystal is set for a 2011 release. So glad that Genndy Tartakovsky is still on board to direct, I think he's perfect for it. Can't freakin wait...! AWESOME NEWS!

I cannot wait to see where the story unfolds for this sequel, as I just watch The Dark Crystal not to long ago. As far as sequels to old movies go, I am quite excited by this and Tron 2.
