MuppetWorld.com

MuppetWorld.com was an official Muppets site run as an offshoot of the old Muppets.com under The Jim Henson Company ownership. The website, as it was originally implemented, is now defunct (redirecting now to the current Muppets website, muppets.go.com).

In order to have viewed the website, you needed the Flash plug-in for your Internet browser. The website was designed by a company called Dream Theater, which is still in service today. Many of the activities themselves were designed by a company called Empire Visualization, which is also currently still in business.

Columbia Tri-Star Home Video's The Very Best Of The Muppet Show: Volume 2 included access to the MuppetWorld website.

Muppetworld.com had a variety of Flash-based activities. Amongst these activities included :

• A series of MuppeToons, 3D-polygon representations of Muppets involved in computer & Internet-based sketches.
• Pepe's Shopping Carnival was a merchandise area.
• An interactive story based upon the movie Muppets From Space.
• Activities involving Animal which included controlling the muppet to create sounds & songs.
• An activity titled Whot's Cooking? that featured The Swedish Chef.
• An area called the Galactic Outpost, where users could play space-themed games.
• An area where the user assisted Bunsen Honeydew & Beaker in mixing colors.
• A Fozzie-related repository of G-rated jokes.

Awards

Muppetworld.com was awarded the "Flashkit Featured Site of the Month" for May 2000.
