Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Ben Folds + Fraggles
Could this herald a resurgence of Fraggle Rock? Disney owns the Muppets, so they own the Fraggles too, right? Could we start seeing Fraggles out and about? They'd make an awesome addition to, say, Animal Kingdom.
Re: Ben Folds + Fraggles
That's an interesting question. I know the deal specifically included the Muppets proper and the Bear in the Big Blue House, but that it excluded all the Sesame Street characters and Jim Henson Studios itself. I can't remember hearing anything about Fraggle Rock and those characters.Buggy wrote:Could this herald a resurgence of Fraggle Rock? Disney owns the Muppets, so they own the Fraggles too, right?

EDIT: After doing a little searching, it looks like the Fraggles were excluded from the deal, too, so it doesn't look like Diseny has them.
