I believe i'm finally allowed to talk about it. I WAS CAST AS PATCHY!!! I am still kinda processing it to be fully honest.

Imagine telling this kid that, 15 years later, he would get to be in the SpongeBob musical.

New Video!

You didn't think I’d let the release of new a Muppets project completely pass me by, did you? Find out what I thought of the 50th anniversary revival special of the Muppet Show and what it means for the future of Kermit the Frog and company!

The classic SpongeBob game Employee of the Month running on my microsoft surface. It is mostly there but some of the textures, like SpongeBob's eyes, are missing.

Wanted to make sure my laptop can run old PC games before buying the Wild Thornberrys one.

Was struggling for a bit, but now i've been able to get it...mostly working.

I just wanna watch the Muppets and date guys, but there’s like 15 rich losers out there actively doing everything they can to destroy humanity. So instead, I gotta take time off to wish for their downfall.

I watched the announcement video and while they do thank the crew for working on this show, no mention has been made of how much warning they were given before this.

This better be a joke. Like I’d respect them ending it on their own terms, but what about all the staff who were supposed to do this for 2 more years and are now suddenly out of a job?

I’d like more info cause this just seems like a really shitty thing to do to the people who made your show.

Digging Up Muppet Treasure Island! YouTube video by Jake's Mind Palace

First video of 2026!

To mark the film's 30th anniversary, let's look back at the movie that first introduced me to the Muppets and try to figure out why it has become so overlooked.

Colorful Digital illustration of Moominvalley in the springtime-- Moomin and Snufkin sit contentedly in a field of flowers in the foreground as Snufkin plays his harmonica. They lean against each other with their eyes closed. In the background Sniff, Snorkmaiden, and Little My run through the flowers, while Moominpappa and Mooinmamma enjoy some tea. Alicia the witch is flying down over the misty background mountains alongside a flock of birds migrating back for the spring.

It's almost springtime again in Moominvalley~

So I have my VPN set to Canada because I find their YouTube ads the least obnoxious. But lately I keep seeing this ad by this one company that exists to try and convince Canadians to move to Florida.

And I wanna know, who in their right mind would ever want to do that!?

Yall dont need yet another person chiming in about TADC fans or any other fandom for that matter. The situation sucks.

It bears repeating: I dont care if a indie cartoon is good or bad, big or small, or if characters do one thing or another. I just want creators, crews and even fans to be SAFE.

Then a minute later, they asked me if I would come back in to read for Plankton. So all in all, a fairly successful audition. I won’t find out the results β€˜til at least Monday.

For anyone wondering, it went pretty decent. The panel were laughing along while I was reading for Patchy (especially at the reveal I brought my own props). I did mess up the song but asked to do it again and got it right the second time.

The worst part about a community theatre audition is when you can't find anyone to run it through with. So you just kinda have to rehearse it to yourself, having no idea if it's any good and coming to terms with the fact the audition panel will be the first people you'll actually perform it too.

NEW VIDEO!
2025 was a big year for Indie Animation, but what about on TV? What about the specials, shows, and sequences made by independent creators or teams? What if there was a video about them you could watch right now by clicking the link below???

I don't wanna to be harsh on Joan Cussack. She's still a phenomenal actress, and i'm sure she'll easily carry this movie, and there are moments where she sounds fine (mostly in the wedding at the beginning), but she's struggling to hit that iconic Jessie enthusiasm.

Maybe it's just how the audio has been edited for the trailer, but Tom Hanks straight up does not sound like Woody.

The Toy Story 5 trailer was interesting. I love the slightly more exaggerated art style on the humans. The whole thing looks visually stunning as to be expected.

But god, everyone sounds so old and tired. It's just depressing.

I’ve written stuff but haven’t actually moved forward with them. But a lot of musicals (both stage and screen) have the book and songs written separately.

Just leave notes in the script, saying where songs will be and what they should accomplish to progress the story.

Maybe give them a small part as an audience member like Maya Rudolph had. Have that be a new recurring bit.

While, i'm excited to see plenty of new guest stars on the Muppet Show, I also hope we have a handful who return from the original run for another spin. Cause a lot of them are still around and rather active.

Steve Martin
Carol Burnett
Rita Moreno
Lynda Carter
Mark Hamill

I honestly might just have to drop a quick 15-20 minute video about the Muppet Show special right after this discussion on Muppets Treasure Island.

The more I think about it, the more I find I have to say.

Love is the most powerful force in the universe. Second is the muppets

Personally, while I would love more Mayhem, I just want Adam Goldberg and Jeff Yorkes to get another project. These guys had a full plan of how to revitalise the Muppets and I wanna see more of what that entailed.

A Rowlf special? A Muppet Labs educational series? Uncle Deadly origin story?

15.02.2026 22:30 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Mayhem is honestly one of my favourite things in the entire franchise. I don’t think anything else from the last 30 years (yes, even the new special) demonstrates such a precise understanding of the heart and humour of these characters.

Like this isn’t just a one-off curiosity. This special is actually getting new people invested in the franchise as a whole.

Seeing the 2026 special instantly become the #1 thing on the service was obviously fantastic. But seeing the 2011 movie simultaneously enter the top 10 was even better.

15.02.2026 22:13 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

The numbers the special itself got is great, but why is this the first i’m hearing of how much of a boost it gave to older Muppet projects? That’s fantastic!

The idea that because of this, more people are checking out stuff like Muppets Most Wanted or Muppets Mayhem. That feels good.
