Best-looking Fraggle art I've seen yet. God, those eyes...

So, exactly how big were those giants (I forget now what they're called) to the humans?

A Fraggle is knee-high to an average 6-foot human (about 2 feet, roughly the size of a lawn garden gnome) and Doozers are not even waist height to a Fraggle (making them but a couple of inches tall). Given those parameters, it should stand to reason that the huge Gorgs should be twice the height of your average human as far as the show is concerned. But, in real-life, since the Gorgs are performed by two performers - one inside the giant costume skilled in mime and the actual Muppeteer off-set controlling the facial expressions by way of radio control devices worn over the hand, much like a conventional puppet - they're probably only physically wider than an average human due to the sheer size of the characters.

The song "I Can See a World of Harmony" shows the size difference well.

Sounds a bit much like the 1971 Coca-Cola commercial.

It does, doesn't it? ^-^

Indeed! Maybe a nod to the celebration.

The theme is catchy. I sometimes sing that when I'm down.

It's the best! I don't give a horse pucky how deranged it sounds to people today, but it's the best!

Most things Jim Henson are from a bygone era, where morals and decency remained. Nowadays, it's mainly about selling to make money, baring a few exceptions.

He also believed that it is unhealthy for children to never be afraid.

Of course. We all have our strengths and are weaknesses (including our fears) and Jim, Walt, and other geniuses of childhood existed to ease some of those troubling times, but yet never shying away from the tough stuff (Bambi's mom and Mufasa regarding Disney & Sesame Street's "I'll Miss You, Mr. Hooper" episode and the recent "When Families Grieve" special or Fraggle Rock openly having the Fraggles routinely talk about death, as if it's a daily fact of life in their culture), so long as parents and educators properly talked to kids about these subjects, which a good chunk of today's adults don't seem to care about doing anymore, hence why this current generation largely goes without moral guidance.

Sorely lacking in today's animated shows.Β

And character development, and a good story.

That too. There are some exceptions (MLP: FiM, Gravity Falls, Wonder Over Yonder, current Mickey Mouse shorts, etc.).

Ah, a show of great potential, but that's all it is.

No. It is a great show. Beyond the sunshine-and-rainbow paint job, MLP: FiM is this generation's Powerpuff Girls, but like the Henson shows, had great writing, quality personalities, decent storytelling, and catchy songs.

Oh dear god, my sides! So many memories. Also, I have the mental image of the Sequential gang dancing with the Fraggles. Pip doin the Irish shuffle, the Denizens performing a miniature Thriller, Kat n Art are doin the disco and the Squirrels are doin one of those anime happy dances.
WOOOOORRRRDSSS!!

Red Fraggle?Β An odd choice, but certainly one I can get behind.Β I've always loved Fraggle Rock.

I love that I can still recognize a Fraggle instantly.

It is comforting, isn't it

When I saw this, I was like: OMG SOMEONE WHO ISN'T ME KNOWS WHAT A FRAGGLE IS!!!!Β
Fantastic work

Yep. In the cartoon version [ www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7RVBE⦠], we see their feet and in conventions, we see the Muppet versions with feet attached [ www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y-oRK⦠].

Man, I haven't seen that show in a dog's age.

A Fraggle? Haven't seen that show since my younger years, but I've been hearing it pop up in conversations a lot more lately. Sweet drawing, though!
