Classic 1980's show Fraggle Rock is being developed into a feature film.

Lisa Henson, co-CEO of The Jim Henson Company, explained: "Fraggle Rock has remained a favorite project at our Company and has certainly continued to be loved by its many devoted fans, so we are thrilled to begin work on this project. With its message of celebrating diversity and its ambitious goal of promoting world peace, now is the perfect time to embark on a new Fraggle adventure."

The plot reportedly features the inhabitants of Fraggle Rock venturing into the outside world, where they come into contact with humans.

The film's screenwriter Ahmet Zappa was full of praise for the show, which was made between 1983 and 1988 in its original incarnation. "So much of my childhood was spent watching Fraggle Rock ... I never missed an episode!" he exclaimed.

"I'm also really looking forward to using music to tell the story; it played such a central role in the original series and truly helped create the 'Fraggle Rock' that we know and love today."
 
I do not remember fraggle rock promoting world peace - weren't they always fighting and having arguments?!

I love fraggle rock anyway so I would love to see it on the big screen - as long as they do not **** it up!
 
Not at all. The idea behind the show was to explain why people disagree, and that it needn't be a basis of conflict.

Oddly this story is months old - strange that RAB (and other media outlets) have only just picked up on it.
 
I would love to see this SO much!!
Especially cos the Jim Henson Creature Shop is still producing its creatures - to get them involved again would be excellent!!
:D
 
I loved this show as a kid :D To see them in a movie would be fantastic and I have the perfect excuse to go see it aswell as 7 and a 3 year old ;)
