The new reality competition series pits talented creature builders, designers, and engineers against each other in a battle to build the best creature. The winner wins a coveted job in the Jim Henson Creature Shop! The show will feature judges/mentors Brian Henson and Kirk Thatcher, who Muppet fans know from many Muppet productions, and a score of other professionals in the field. From everything I've seen, this show will heavily focus on puppetry, creatures, mechanics, and everything in between. And it takes place at The Jim Henson Company. What more can you ask for?
Check out the official trailer for the show, as well as some other features on the cast, the creatures, etc., below!

The Muppet Mindset by Ryan Dosier, muppetmindset@gmail.com
I was so looking forward to checking out the show to see new ideas for making creatures, especially animatronics. Unfortunately it looks like it will be just another reality show geared toward the drama instead of the mechanics of making anything. This show is even worse than Face-Off, not showing techniques or what it actually takes to make their creations. Who cares if the contestants don’t get along, I can watch Survivor or Big Brother for that. I wish they would re-think the point of the shows.
ReplyDeleteWell, what did you expect from these types of shows? Singing?
