Muppet Babies reboot
 

Currently in pre-production stages for Disney Jr channel. Kermit, Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, and Animal are all confirmed as well as Nanny oh excuse me, Miiss Nanny (real name apparantly Nancette...) and a new character, a female sheep named Bobbi Baba. *sighs* I suppose this was inevitable...

It seems that in this one they're slightly older than in the original. Kermit is listed as being 4 while Bobbi is 6. In the original series they were roughly 1 - 3 with Animal and Robin being the infants.

Awww, but I loved Scooter and Skeeter.
:(

They could still pop up. Just no bio info on them yet. Show probably won't air for a couple years anyways since they're only in pre-production.

How about they just release the original series on DVD/Blu Ray.

Production has officially begun today according to Disney Junior.

This was probably a lot of children's first introduction to the Muppets franchise. I know it was for me. Many of my friends and acquaintances have children now and I think they'll love this. Hopefully, they'll bring back the original cast, but we'll just have to wait and see. From what I remember the Ducktales reboot isn't bringing back the original cast.

I definitely can't wait for this and will be tuning in to check it out.

This is in no way for me but I think it could be cool once I saw the CG is trying to emulate the "muppets" in real life so it actually looks awesome. I'm sure all the things of the original will be in it in one way or another.

Should be cute. I wonder if they'll include as much material from other movies and stuff. Obviously they can use Disney material.

I'm suprised, to be honest. You'd think that Disney would've just given up on the Muppets after the double-whammy of a failed movie and TV show, but it looks like the signs are pointing to no.

Disney never lets anything die. Anything.
Unless it's Brer Rabbit.

Or Tron. Or Epic Mickey.

It's pre-school stuff, hardly something tailored for the masses like the last two.

Muppet Babies have more brand recognition worldwide than The Muppets.

I am an example of this. I was introduced to The Muppets through this show when it aired on Nickelodeon. I never could figure out where Skeeter was until I was older and learned she was made up for the series. I was never a big fan of The Muppets but as a single digit aged kid I did like Muppet Babies over The Muppets.

Who is Robin? I don't remember that one. There was the hare and Beeker and Bunsen as guest,but I don't remember any others.

First look, and they've added a new Muppet, a penguin called Summer

Robin is Kermit's nephew. He was in at least one episode of the original Muppet Babies as a tadpole. I always thought that was weird since Kermit was like 2 in the show. In The Muppet Show when Kermit is an adult Robin is 5. I think he's about 10 or 12 now. :P

I don't like Baby Piggy's voice....

Interesting, but I would much prefer the original series released on DVD/Blu Ray.

I don't think this'll ever fully happen. Muppet Babies used lots of clips and things. It'd probably be a nightmare to get all the rights and copyrights to those things to legally release them, unless they're public domain.

The real problem is it is more then likely owned by Disney who ether will never release it or will release it but never a complete release.

Yep. Disney half-ass every release.
