Muppet’s Old School Special Effects

November 20th, 2011

When the Muppet's made their debute back in 1969 on PBS's "Sesame Street’’, the CGI special effects so common in current movies were not possible. Even the word "muppet" is a hint of how the aminated the show's stars of Kermit and Miss Piggy, come to life though a techique of hand and puppet string operations. For the new 2011 Holiday movie releases, a new Muppet's movie is targeted to reclaim some of the old school charm to the millions of kids who grew up loving the Muppets.  

Jason Segel, director and star of this new Muppet film, hopes to mixes nostalgia into the story line, where Kermit comes out of his lonely mansion to help rescue Fozzie from a seedy Vegas bar where he performs with Muppet knock-offs so they can restore the franchise to its former glory. Puppetry is one of the oldest effects to animated objects to a life like image, and new Muppets movies remains at the top of the game.

November 19th, 2011

As Thanksgiving approches always too quick for most of us, it's one of the most popular times for going to the movies. For a family adventure this 2011 holiday season, here’s a look at some kids movies that might be worth an outing for the entire family.

“Happy Feet Two” Rated PG

A 3-D animated movie is a sequel to 2006’s “Happy Feet” and features the voices of some of your folks’ favorite actors (Robin Williams, Brad Pitt, Elijah Wood). Mumble the Penguin now has a son, Erik, who isn’t sure he wants to dance. A penguin who won’t dance in a movie called “Happy Feet Two”? How crazy will that be. 

"Arthur Christmas" Rated: PG

This is not the PBS Arthur that the little ones may may be expecting, but it's about think about an aardvark and elf who help save Christmas when technology, of all things, fails Santa.

“The Muppets” Rated: PG

Your parents will totally love you if you ask to go to this movie, because they really want to see it. Why? The Muppets remind your parents of their childhood. Miss Piggy, Kermit: What’s not to love?

“The Adventures of Tintin” Rated: PG

Tintin and Captain Haddock set off on a treasure hunt for a sunken ship commanded by Haddock's ancestor. But someone else is in search of the ship. This animated movie by the famous director Steven Spielberg, which is must see for the serious filmgoer.
