"(Zappa) recently created his own fantasy property (Mighty McFearless), and we had him in to talk about books and movies," Henson said. "During that conversation, I had an intuition that he might be a Fraggle Rock fan. He jumped out of his seat when he heard our idea of making Fraggle Rock into a feature-length movie.
" Zappa is developing a treatment in which puppet stars Gobo, Wembley, Mokey, Boober and Red will travel from beneath the Rock and venture into the human world for the first time. Fraggle Rock premiered on HBO in 1983 and during five seasons earned many awards and a global following.
