Fraggle Reproduction

I'd like to add something about Fraggle reproduction and I'm having trouble finding a source. I know I read or heard somewhere, though I'm not sure if it was in the DVD documentaries or an interview, that ultimately a decision was made not to explain how Fraggles were born, despite earlier considering having them be hatched (which is why they wonder what an egg is in Episode 201: Wembley's Egg), and that's also why they stopped showing mothers holding baby fraggles in group shots. So if anyone can find the source faster than I can, it would be appreciated. Andrew Leal (talk) 19:44, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

It's the Terry Angus interview on Muppet Central. http://www.muppetcentral.com/articles/interviews/angus3.shtml Interesting addendum, though: In The Terrible Tunnel, the Storyteller Fraggle starts to tell the story of the Famous Fedora Fraggle (at Mokey's request), but doesn't get very far before Wembley interrupts her. All we hear is, "The Famous Fedora Fraggle was first hatched on the first--" So this episode must have been made before the decision not to "go there." -GrantHarding 19:48, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Right, it was considered and then abandoned. I could have sworn I'd seen concept art of a Fraggle hatching as well, though. Still, good to have a source then. Andrew Leal (talk) 19:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
