Male
where the fraggles find a radio, and they hear a commercial for a carpet store. and it's one of these like

Male
keep is like their oracle, the trashy grants, the fraggles wisdom-
N
3.2

274
Male
[crosstalk 00:00:02:07]. the [crosstalk] that you used to do on the ed sullivan show, on johnny carson show.

Male
motion capture, with like the puppeteers are acting out everything that you see. the characters do on scale
N
3.35
4.35
3.7
274
Male
[crosstalk 00:02:17]. [inaudible] of whatever. yeah. so the one place where all the cgi now is-
N
5
4
5.2
275
Male
so what makes these characters stand out? like what makes your favorite, your favorite-
X
4.4
4.6
4.6
273
Male
you remember [crosstalk] them finally from your childhood and when you go back, they're still funny.
N
4

4
274
Male
exactly. and i don't know, there's just so recognizable.
N
3.8
4.4
4.4
275
Male
i mean, there's a reason that, when like the new smurfs movie came out, people weren't going like, "oh my god, there's a smurf on a
H
5.4
4.8
4.8
275
Male
billboard. i got to go see this thing". but you see kermit on a billboard, ends like, there's something really
H
5.4
5.4
4.8
275
Male
exciting about that, and maybe you do have to go see that new movie or whatever it is.
N
4
5

275
Male
i mean not a lot of people said that about muppets- [crosstalk] wanted people. but you know, there was at least more than like the marmaduke movie.
H
5.2
4.9
5
275
Male
so why do you think that happened? because muppets most wanted didn't perform as well, at the box office as the puppets did. right? it performed beneath expectations, let's just say. yeah.
N
4.6

X

273
Male
so like, why did that happen? what happened between those two movies? or was it the disk that the second one didn't have jason segel, or what's going on there?

a couple of weeks after mr. peabody. some people said-
N

274
Male
N
5
4
5
274
Male
a big reason was there was no urgency. with the first month of movie, i'm sorry, the 2011 movie it was, the muppets are back. you have to go see because the muppets-

Male
U
3.6
3.4
4.4
275
Male
and for whatever reason, people really didn't understand, the thing of kermit has an evil twin. because a coworker actually just asked me this week. "why do i see kermit talking on tv with a russian
N
3.8
4.2
4.2
274
Male
accent?" yeah. so i don't know if it's more like the movie itself was, i think it's more, the movie itself was not promoted while the muppets were promoted. right. and
N

275
Male
N
4
3

275
Male
they're definitely keeping busy there. i feel like it was a bit of a wall after the most recent movie, just because from what we heard, they changed hands within the disney...
N
4

5
275
Male
they can just grab a puppet, grab a celebrity, write a quick song, whatever it takes and just get it up there.

H

275
Male
right? what do you guys... when you talk to the people who perform them up, it's what, what do you, first of all, are they like, is there a type of person who performs them up? is it a diverse group? what are they like?
X
5.363636
5.090909
4.727273
273
Male
oh they're all assholes. that's not true-
X
5.8
3.4
5.8
275
Male
imagine anyone who is performing as a muppet. and anyone who's devoted their life to puppetry is an asshole.
D
4.6

4.4
273
Male
C
5.8
2.6
5
274
Male
true. the cool thing about the puppeteers, is that because they're all below the screen, you don't see their face at all. there are these amazing, hilarious, talented performers,
H
6.083333
6.416667
5.75
275
Male
but there's no ego at all. like they're not
N
4
5
5
275
Male
in it to become famous. if they were, they would not be puppeteers, they would be actors or whatever. and that lack of ego makes them like just the nicest people in hollywood
O
3.2
5
4.8
275
Male
[inaudible 00:00:05:32]. the other cool thing is that because there's only a few people left from that original muppet,
C
5
5
5.2
275
Male
almost all the performers started as muppet fans. so like, they're just excited to be here.
X
4.4
4.8
4.6
275
Male
they're carrying on the legacy and they want to- yeah. yeah. they're as excited about it as we are.
H
4.6
5.4
4.4
274
Male
what do you guys ask them? like what do you want, what do you want to know? when you talk to one

Male
i want none of them. can we hang out? can we be best friends? that's why
H
4
5.6
3.8
275
Male
i want none of them. yeah. we just ask them about their, how they got into the muppets.
H
3.4
4.8
4
274
Male
yeah, i mean it seems like it's muppet or bust if you're going to be a puppeteer, right?
H
5.2
4.2
4.6
273
Male
yeah, that's the weird thing about being a puppeteer is like really, there's only a couple.
H
5.111111
4.333333
5.111111
275
Male
yeah, that's the weird thing about being a puppeteer is like really, there's only a couple.

Male
most of them... really just, like at a very young age,
N
5
4
5
275
Male
own their own puppets, are performing, like in their backyards or whatever, and kind of, i think every one of them had to make that choice probably around
C

college of like, am i pursuing this as a career? is this not just a hobby?
U
4.666667

H
5.3

Male
N

4.8
3.2
273

well, actually i should back up. i'd say the first time that we ever saw muppets perform,
H
4.2
4.8
3.8
275
Male
not so great muppet tv, special called, letters to santa, which was a christmas special.
N

Male
S
5.4
3.8
4.8
275
Male
yeah, so like really we were like, we are their audience. i mean, that's a very small circle. there's only a few people.
H
4.6
5.4
4.6

Male
H
3.8
5
4.4
275
Male
i had actually just shown up at, i found out they were filming outside in brooklyn heights. and so i just went and i just stood outside and watched them film for a while. and then i got the courage,
N
4.777778
4.666667
4.444444
275
Male
i mean, this was how many years ago? this is like eight years ago. yeah.
N
4.4
4.6
4.6
275

i just got the courage to like go up to see who performs kermit
H
5.8
4.8
5.1
275
Male
the frog and just be like, "hey, i'm sorry. i just want to say hello. i'm joe,
H
5.5
4.7
4.3
275
Male
i run the tough pigs". and i've just kind of expected him to be like, "oh,
X
5.583333
5.5
5.083333
275
Male
i love your site". and he's like, "well, come with me". and he brought me backstage and...
H
5
5.2
4.6
275
Male
it's true. and, and then because of that, they invited ryan and i to go visit
N
4
5
5
275
Male
the sets while they were filming indoors. and we got to interview steve whitmire that day. we got to just sit and watch them film for an entire day, which was, i mean, just amazing.
H
4
6.2
5
275
Male
what surprised you about that? what did you see and didn't expect to see?
X
4.8
4.2
4.6
273
Male
N
4
5
4
273
Male
it was interesting. one thing they did that, i think one of the writers actually like said as an aside to us,
N
4
4
4.8
274
Male
"blackberry, blueberry", and with each arm,
N
4
4.769231
4.692308
274
Male
he's putting them. so they had to have, i guess, was it three puppeteers-
H
4.2
5
4
274
Male
and one lease. it may have been one puppeteer per arm.
H
4.916667
4.833333
4.583333
275
Male
X
4.4
4.2
4.6
275
Male
and then like one would fall out of his hand and they'd have to start over again. and it just took many, many takes to do one simple guy that probably was on screen for like six seconds.
O
3.2
3.2
4.6
274
Male
that's cool. what about sesame street? what was being there?
H
4.833333
4.666667
4.333333
273
Male
sesame street's amazing. i mean like that's where i learned how to read.
H
5
5
4.2
275
Male
you literally learned how to read that, exactly right. yeah.
H
5.333333
5.75
5.25
273
Male
X
5.8
5.2
5.2
274
Male
that one was more emotional for me than anything. just because, like we walk on the set for the first time i remember and being like, "oh my god,
H
4.833333
5
5.333333
275
Male
oh my god, it's oscars can". yeah. and like they let us go inside the can. and i remember when we were leaving later on in the day, we were walking through a room that had a [inaudible 00:09:15].
H
6.090909
6.272727
5.727273
275
Male
the kind of amazing thing that i found is we've been there.
N
3.4
4.2
3.2
274
Male
N
4.4
4.5
4.4
274
Male
yet with like the... you see the end of the street and it's the studio floor and you see the lights overhead and everything. but then when i turn on the tv show and watch it, i still see sesame
N
3.2
4.2
3.4
274
Male
street.
U
3.333333
5.166667
4.666667
274
Male
not thinking about the lights, just outside of the frame. right. so the same place.
N
2.4
4.2

274
Male
when you see the characters perform live, is the illusion real, like you see the person performing it at all, or are you locking eyes of the character?
X
3.8
4.6
4
273
Male
for the most part, i think i only see the character cause some of the performers, like they just...
X
4.8
3.8
4.6
275
Male
for the most part, i think i only see the character. because some of the performers,
N
4.8
4
4
275
Male
their energy is going through their hands at that point. leslie carrara, who plays abby cadabby is
N
5
4
4
275
Male
one of those people who, she'll see someone like hanging out, off set and she'll grab abby, put the puppet on and be like
H
5
5
4.6
275
Male
this in your face. and you don't see leslie at all. i mean, it's all abby.
A
5.181818
3.545455
5.272727
275
Male
it's kind of interesting and fun to watch them though. just to kind of look at the puppet, look at the puppeteer, looking at the puppet. although then at a certain point you look at the puppeteer and it's kind of like, "oh, why is that lady talking?" and abby cadabby is
H
4.333333
4.666667
4.833333
274
Male
kind of interesting and fun to watch them though. just like kind of look at the puppet, look at the puppeteer, yeah. look at the puppet. although then at a certain point you look at the puppeteer and it's kind of like, "oh, why is that lady talking? and abby cadabby-
H
5.1
4.9
4.6
274

i think the only times that i can think of
N

275

that you look at the puppet and they're not just 100%
