Movies

OW Gutcheck Time ! 3 shorts. And yes I know it's for 5 days ( 2 multiplier ). JMT-NL Nov 23, 03:20

Shortcese, Shorthur Christmas, and long-faced Muppets (or was that just a horse?) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Nov 23, 03:41

I did the same. {nm} perply1 Nov 23, 07:12

One thing I have learned from here... Never underestimate Disney movies, especially on Thanksgiving. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Nov 23, 03:45

"Never get involved with Disney in a land war in Asia." second vizzini Nov 23, 06:26

Short everything!. Might be wrong on the green sock, but it cant be by much. {nm} idrom Nov 23, 03:50

Agree with a_4_J. Tracking is better than Arthur XMAS...but Arthur Xmas is a charming story and Muppets does not deliver. {nm} Latinman4747 Nov 23, 03:51

So you are saying 100% of the critics who have The Muppets at 100% fresh at rotten tomatoes are 100% wrong? Umm.... {nm} islander Nov 23, 05:32

Could Muppets be a Chipmunks all over again? Multiple generations raised on them and a chance to intro to the new generation?? skamanfu Nov 23, 09:04

My feeling is they should've gone CGI. Then the puppets would have had more 'room to move' , Who wants to see puppet/marionet show in 2011? {nm} JMT-NL Nov 23, 09:15

wow. there is so much wrong with that statement! {nm} islander Nov 23, 09:18

I'll go even further; Sticking to the handpuppets is a big disrespect from the studio for the strength of the characters JMT-NL Nov 23, 09:33

That puts in you the George Lucas camp... I'm not in that camp. Let the Muppet be Muppets :) {nm} dioneta Nov 23, 09:36

Conversely, going CGI would be an even BIGGER disrespect to the creators and puppeteers who essentially ARE the Muppets. {nm} Paul2k Nov 23, 09:50

Good point. And one the marketing department could have picked up on more... or... JMT-NL Nov 23, 10:09

and why not at least Justin Bieber in this ??? JMT-NL Nov 23, 10:36

You CGI the Muppets and there will be riots in the streets leading to the end of civilization as we know it. {nm} mrbeankc Nov 23, 09:20

Muppets long and Hugo Short... not sure about ARTHC... really though shorting a holiday family film over Thanksgiving TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 04:37

How many movies that were direct competition did Christmas with the Kranks have to face on its opening? accountant_4_Jesus Nov 23, 04:45

However movies were open at the time. TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 05:00

"however many movies"... :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 05:01

Yes, but those years also didn't have the exodus of young males from the cinemas like the past year. accountant_4_Jesus Nov 23, 05:08

Looking at Box Office Mojo, it seems that it did have some pretty heavy direct competition, though. There were no family movies opening that Ruthian23 Nov 23, 06:18

2 shorts, do not play the muppetpuppets {nm} pongena2 Nov 23, 08:53

Thinking Long MUPET and short other two... {nm} eyescovered Nov 23, 08:59

Short Hugo and Arthur. Muppet may be on its number now but I went long from the get go... {nm} dioneta Nov 23, 09:07
