I won't take to much of your time with this one, because clearly I was onboard since this was announced...
After MANY years of will they/won't they and news of possible movies and reboots, Apple TV and The Jim Henson Company have successfully brought back one of the happiest shows ever produced!
While it is a "reboot", there's not a whole lot that has changed in the Rock, why fix what isn't broken? The puppets are BEAUTIFUL and wonderfully performed by both new and original cast members.
The music is a lovely mix of Fraggles classics and new songs that sit perfectly alongside the originals.
The ONLY "negative" (and that's probably too strong of a word) is the fact that Dave Goelz's characters were puppeteered by another performer and dubbed in post (I assume because of COVID?) but you can feel that something is a little "off", which is kind of a bummer...
But if that's the ONLY thing that didn't sit well with me, I'll happily let it go.
I am SO happy that this show exists.
What a perfect love letter to the original series, while staying relevant and keeping these characters alive in a world where kids need Fraggles more than ever.
