Fraggle Rock "The Bells of Fraggle Rock"

[AMAZINGdancingBEARS]

Hey man! Theres a BIG difference between muppets and fraggles. Please dont class them as 'all muppets' cos that is seriously dissrespectfull to fraggles!

[TherealRNO]

@AMAZINGdancingBEARS: No. There is NO difference. All Fraggles are Muppets, but not all Muppets are Fraggles. Jim Henson created Sesame Street, The Muppet Show/Muppet Babies/Muppets Tonight, & Fraggle Rock. Muppet was his term for the puppet style his performers--including he himself (for he is Cantus here)--used. Per 1987's Muppet Family Christmas, all three main Muppet brands are an extension of each other & are in fact, family.

@AMAZINGdancingBEARS: Proof of SS, TMS/MB/MT, & FR as Muppet family as within MFC can be seen here...

i dont the fraggles should be called muppetts ...there not there fraggles ....kermit is a muppett ...

[Taiiena]

@pheonix1055 I believe word Muppet applies to all of Henson's creations as it was a blank term for marionette / puppet. Regardless, he was awesome!

[Hidepride]

@pheonix1055 They are muppits, muppit is the term given to that type ofp uppets.

[Taiiena]

Thank you so much Jim Henson! You're a masterful wizard, who for a time exposed the world to such creative forms of human good will. The muppets looked like no one specifically so they could represent everyone, embracing our diversity as one human family. Your magic so needed right now ...in this time. Its with me, and I am thankful for it! <3

[texformer]

Everybody who watches this should give it a thumbs up, so that it pops up on the front of your subscriber and friends pages for more Fraggle Exposure! :) Especially if you're watching it around the holidays.

best musical ever!



[sonicwinx77]

Fraggle's are good singers. !=P

[TherealRNO]

@MajCinematic: You're welcome.

[TherealRNO]

@MajCinematic: Glad to be of service.

[TherealRNO]

CrazyBrandon: Please quit with your insane ramblings. You're misguiding people, like MajCine. Also, in response to Rtkat3, what about SFX interviewing Red (where she confirms her secret admiration for Gobo)? Is there anything more to discuss about it?

[TherealRNO]

@MajCinematic: Sonic X is a Sonic the Hedgehog anime. Ignore CrazuBrandon. He or she lives up to their "crazy" username, thinking Sonic and the Fraggles are one and the same, when Jim Henson created the Fraggles and Sonic was created by Sonic Team & Sega Technical Institute at the behest of Sega. Two completely, and utterly, different franchises.

[CrazyBrandondorf]

@MajCinematic Yes but i know she was in sonic x as her later appearences.

[MuppeTickeler]

In 0:00 loosless. Its candace.

[TherealRNO]

@MuppeTickeler: No. It is "Listen, it's Cantus!"

[MuppeTickeler]

@TherealRNO Where did you get that idea from?

[TherealRNO]

@MuppeTickeler: Cantus is the name of the mystical Fraggle minstrel (played by Jim Henson himself) and Mokey--the eldest of the five--is telling her friends to listen, as he's about to arrive (and Mokey herself has tried out minstrel pursuits in "Mokey the Minstrel", which means she's already connected with the same vibes Cantus feels whenever he and band enter the Rock). But Gobo, being stubborn about finding literal proof of the Great Bell, doesn't want to listen, so Red has to restrain him.

[MuppeTickeler]

@TherealRNO I understand she does but i was just talking about the character from Phenias and ferb.

[TherealRNO]

@MuppeTickeler: Phineas and Ferb--and Disney in general--has NOTHING to do with the Fraggles, because the Jim Henson Company STILL owns them. They might've given Sesame Street to the former Children's Television Workshop (now, Sesame Workshop) in 2001 and given THE Muppets (i.e. The Muppet Show/Muppets Tonight & Muppet Babies) to Disney in 2004, but the Fraggles are still Henson-owned.

[Rtkat3]

@TherealRNO Red also had to forcefully drag Gobo to the Great Hall as well.

[TherealRNO]

@Rtkat3: Yes. Despite their adversarial relationship, Red cares for Gobo in a way different than Wembley (Gobo's best friend), Mokey (a den-mother of sorts, Mokey shares "a kindred spirit" relationship with Gobo), Boober (a good friend, regardless of Boober's worry-some complaining), and Travelling Matt (Gobo's favorite uncle & parental figure). As she said in a 2010 interview, "You know sometimes, Gobo & me, we kind of compete...but I guess I really admire Gobo, but that's a secret".

[Rtkat3]

@TherealRNO The SFX interview with Red I have seen on YouTube.

[TherealRNO]

@Rtkat3: Yep. That very one. I don't know how official the comment was, but it did come from Red's own mouth, so...XD

[CrazyBrandondorf]

@Rtkat3 But what video is it.

[Rtkat3]

@CrazyBrandondorf SFX Interviews Red Fraggle.

[CrazyBrandondorf]

@TherealRNO Uh Wembley used to be Gobo's friend but not anymore. Gobos in Knuckles chaotix and for that he became a chaotix member. All fraggles moved to sonic x because of the invisible gargoyle damaging the place and they want to get stay safe so they are not there and they won't go to Fraggle rock anymore. Thats why they are in a new place now.

[dragonheadthing]

Wish this awesome song would have been on the soundtrack.

[Fragglevision]

@dragonheadthing Some Muppet fans have a petition to have all the songs on the show appear on a CD set.

[Bluestar173]

@Fragglevision Very interesting. This is the first time I've heard about the petition.

[TherealRNO]

@Fragglevision: Sort of like how The Muppet Show had most of its songs appear on albums and CDs years back? Sounds like a neat-o idea.

[MuppeTickeler]

@TherealRNO Good one but i don't know if i can fit through that hole or not.

[Bluestar173]

I just love how Gobo isn't as excited as the other Fraggles.

[collgoff]

@Bluestar173 Why is that?

[Fragglevision]

@collgoff Because the holiday is losing its meaning for him. He wanted to go into the center of the rock because it was shaped like a bell, and he thought that bell was the Great Bell. Listen closely to what Cantus is saying about the festival.

Gobo set off to find the Great Bell, and requested no one ring their own bells until he found it. Instead of telling you what happens, I request you look at the YT video "The Great Bell."

[collgoff]

@Fragglevision I know how that ends I can tell.

Because the heart of the rock is the great hall and Gobo found that the hard way.

That's how I can tell.

[collgoff]

@collgoff That is deafanley right.

[TherealRNO]

@collgoff: Actually, the "heart of the Rock" would be wherever the Fraggles themselves happen to be, because the Rock itself--and the Ditzies who keep the Rock lit--would thrive on music generated by the Fraggles (the Fraggles themselves are a rather musically-inclined species, after all, since music would be a part of their inner "magic"). Indeed, Gobo found out the hard way that sometimes, the heart rules over the mind, given that his friends froze, all because of his foolhardy quest.

[collgoff]

@TherealRNO All those things is really true music is magic.

[TherealRNO]

@collgoff: Yeah. It is one of the few magical things we humans have left, since most lose their childlike wonder--which is a large part of our magic--when they grow up.

[collgoff]

@TherealRNO That's wonderful!

[TherealRNO]

@collgoff: It's wonderful that many lose their childlike innocence? Or...it's wonderful that some of us keep our childlike wonder and enjoy music for its magical qualities? Preferrably the latter.

[collgoff]

@TherealRNO Yeah!

[TherealRNO]

@Fragglevision: Yeah. What we missed was the off-camera wise-cracks most likely made after the song was sung & the Fraggle Five were left to themselves. "Make that mistake again Gobo, and we'll leave you to the Gorgs, radish-brain!"

[collgoff]

That is nice and Cantus is very wies.

[ljks1]

awww i love this one :)
