[King Prawn]

Thanks Greg for the best news ever, I've never felt so excited for any production as i do for this

Wow! Wow! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!

[Frogster]

You know what's really weird about this? I JUST got done watching "Honk Of Honks" and "Change Of Address." I don't know why, I just felt like watching them. Then, as soon as the ending gets over with, I hopped over here to see what's new, and of all things, this shows up. I can't tell you how excited I am for this, and I hope the original five are in this, as well, and that they don't mess this up like other projects.

[Beauregard]

Gobo and Red HAVE to get together in this!!!!

[Frogster]

This is Fraggle Rock... no one should "get together." They're all friends, and I hope they keep it like that.

[FISH'N'WOLFE]

This is really swell, I hope it gets released theatrically.

[MrsPepper]

Oh.

My.

Gosh.

That is AMAZING! Wow! How COOl would that be! The only downside: If it's a theatrical release I'll be in a theatre with a bunch of little kids. But I can put up with that cause if this goes through, that would be SO cool.

[Sylinde Bren]

Fantastic news! It all feels like one huge revival of my childhood, and I can't be more happy about it. :)

Go to like an 10:30pm screening on a Tuesday night - not many kids come out to that showing. Or go to a 1:30pm screening on a Wednesday. I found that if you want to see a "kids" movie kid-free go during the day on a weekday (they're all in school/preschool, their parents are working, or they are taking a nap); or go late at night (after their bedtime). Never go to a kids movie on a Saturday, Sunday, or Friday evening - its all kids! Most theaters show the "kids" movies at some times when there arn't many kids around. I see almost all "kids" films at 10-11 o'clock at night - it's just easier that way (and I can hear what Shrek is saying )

Henson said in one new report, that the project will find the Fraggles having to come out into “outer space” (a.k.a. the human world). The group will have a wild adventure as they find themselves in this weird and wild new world, far away from Fraggle Rock. Henson has also stressed that the story will be aimed at both children and young adults (as they hope to appeal to new young fans, and also the fans that grew up on the show). They also stated that the original Fraggle characters are planned to be the stars of the film (however this could change). The early work on developing the project is underway within the Henson Company and they hope to start shooting sometime next year (2006).

Oh, really, that's a possibility? I like the idea.

As for the going to the movie at night, I think I'll have to end up doing that. Thanks because that was a good suggestion. I would want to go to the movie and be able to fully enjoy it!

[Xela]

I'm so excited!
But I don't want to wait until 2007...or longer.

Oh well, either way, it's great!

[BooberFraggless]

Wow! I can't believe theyr'e doing this! I feel like I'm dreaming. April Fools Day isn't for another 6 months so I know this is NOT a joke. I am so excited a Fraggle Movie is going to be made. It's about time they did something like this. Just one question. Since Richard Hunt is no longer with us, who will perform Junior Gorg? Any ideas???

[goshposh]

since jerry nelson is pretty much retired, who will play gobo and king gorg or the trash heap!
