Guess what? It's time to "Dance your cares away/ Worry's for another day/ Let the music play/ Down at Fraggle Rock!" The Fraggles are back! According to Variety, the Weinsteins are teaming up with Lisa Henson of the Jim Henson Company to bring a live-action, half-human half-puppet Fraggle Rock extravaganza to the big screen. Check it out:
Just like the series, the film will be populated by a mix of human characters and Fraggle Rock puppets. . .Pic will take the core characters Gobo, Wembley, Mokey, Boober and Red outside of their home in Fraggle Rock, where they interact with humans, which they think are aliens. The show premiered on HBO in 1983, ran five seasons and was broadcast in more than 80 countries. It posted strong sales recently when the first three seasons were released on DVD.
Awww! I'm excited about this news for so many reasons, but first and foremost: Hooray for no CGI! It'll be so great to get some good old-fashioned puppets, just like we'll get with Jason Segel's Muppet project. Plus, I can't wait to see some Fraggle musical production numbers choreographed for the big screen — and hopefully accompanied by Gobo on his gourd guitar.
Want to take a sweet little trip down Memory Lane? After the jump, relive the adorableness that is the opening sequence to Fraggle Rock. You can enjoy when you read more.

3i need to see this movie!! i loved this show so much!
i loved seeing the opening, so
thanks for including it!
4While I'm getting annoyed at all these old shows getting turned into movies, I think a well-written Jim Henson movie would be great. Just as long as they don't make the same mistakes they been making with The Muppets.
5I would soooo go see that!!! Fraggle Rock was awesome!
6I LOVE Fraggle Rock. (I guess one could probably tell from my avatar?) They are so cute. I used to like how they were a little scary sometimes... although I wonder if this movie will be like one long extended Uncle Traveling Matt segment.
7I am so there. I love that they are making this into a movie!!
8I love the opening theme song!
9I loved this show as a kid. I think it is so awesome that they are coming back. I just hope my girls will like it just as much. They are 4,3 and 1 so they should.
