Too-long neglected Muppets the Fraggles are getting their own movie.

By special request, Muppet Week presents the Fraggle Rock theme (in both English and Spanish). Fraggle Rock is in a number of ways the most interesting of all the Muppet TV shows, certainly in terms of what it does with ethnicity and race using size as its pretty transparent metaphor. Like so many people of my benighted generation, though, I hardly ever watched it, because it was on HBO at a time when my family didn't even have cable.

Luckily, one of the primary uses of Netflix is the nostalgia mode. Also one of the primary uses of this blog, apparently.
