A wicked troll tries in vain to gobble up a family of goats when they go trip-trapping over his bridge.
Himself
Long before America came to appreciate the talents of Jim Henson and his brilliant creations, The Muppets, Ed Sullivan had the foresight to identify with Henson's enormous creativity and provide him an opportunity to introduce his unique characters to the American public. With Henson's first appearance on September 18, 1966, The Muppets began to capture America's imagination, breaking down our old conceptions of what could be done with puppetry, challenging us to embrace these creatures as living and thinking beings. Not only does this program introduce us to Kermit, we can also see the beginnings of other Henson characters we've come to know and love, including reindeer discussing Christmas deliveries, singing cows, a monster engulfing a computer, and Kermit swallowing a worm. The charm and warmth that captured children and adults when these inventive segments first aired are just as powerful and compelling today. As you will see... The Muppets' charm and lore are timeless!
Mr. Levinson
Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) y su mujer Etheline (Anjelica Huston), después de tener tres hijos, Chas (Ben Stiller), Richie (Luke Wilson) y Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow), se han separado. Chas, que trabaja en el sector inmobiliario, parecía tener un don innato para las finanzas internacionales. Margot fue dramaturga y obtuvo una beca Braverman de 50.000 dólares cuando aún estaba en el instituto. Richie fue campeón junior de tenis y ganó los campeonatos de Estados Unidos tres años consecutivos. Pero todos los brillantes recuerdos de los jóvenes Tenenbaums quedan repentinamente borrados por dos décadas de traiciones, fracasos y decepciones de las que consideran que su padre es el principal responsable.
