Dear fellow puppetheads and Muppetheads...
I'm seeing some posts pop up with folks being negative towards new works featuring the Muppets.Let it go. If you're unhappy with it look for alternatives to bring you joy. Keep it positive and share and praise good work. There are so many other groups of puppeteers and puppet makers and film makers carrying on their traditions that Jim Henson and his team began 70 years ago. And in some cases maybe even truer to the innovation and storytelling paths they were paving...
And I'm not just talking about Elmwood Productions and what we do. But, I totally am as well!
So I'm here to share some alternatives to the "big guys".
Links below are to the YouTube Pages for these folks...
Take some time and check them out, maybe you'll find you new favorite puppets somewhere in this list! And most of these cats have no corporate funding, independent artists... These folks need your t-shirt and merch sales way more than the big companies!
In no particular order and by no means a complete list:
Of course we have Elmwood Productions, I'd be a fool not to mention us.
This is just a very tiny list, just a taste of what is out there. Take some time, expand our horizons...
Also - remember - the people unhappy are usually the loudest. It doesn't make them a majority. These folks need to sit back, be happy with the years of entertainment they can look back on and continue to enjoy, and let the rest of the world like what they like.
