Journal HokieSeas's Journal: Fraggle Fans Unite! 2

According to various sources, Fraggle Rock, is being made into a full length theatrical movie. Here is a quote from the cnn.com article:

The 1980s cult hit TV show is being developed by Ahmet Zappa -- younger son of Frank Zappa -- into a full-length live-action musical fantasy starring the classic characters.

"(Zappa) recently created his own fantasy property ('Mighty McFearless'), and we had him in to talk about books and movies," said Lisa Henson, who serves as co-CEO of the Jim Henson Co. with her brother, Brian.

"During that conversation, I had an intuition that he might be a 'Fraggle Rock' fan. He jumped out of his seat when he heard our idea of making 'Fraggle Rock' into a feature-length movie."

Zappa -- a musician and TV personality who will serve as the project's executive producer -- is developing a treatment in which puppet stars Gobo, Wembley, Mokey, Boober and Red will travel from beneath the Rock and venture into the human world for the first time.

So, go ahead and stock up on your Fraggles now.

  • yay!

    er, um, oh wait... i don't know anything about these fraggles!

    • I don't remember if I JE'd about it or not, but a girl bet me "as many BJs as you want this Saturday when I come to visit" if I could guess a song only hearing 2 seconds of it. I asked her what I had to do if I lost. She said nothing, because it wasn't a fair bet, I'd never guess. She played the first 2 seconds of the theme, right at the beginning. When she stopped it before she could ask me to guess, I screamed "Dance your cares away! Worry's for another day! That's FRAGGLE ROCK! I LOVED that show."

I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
