General Mills Celebrates 55th Anniversary of Monsters Cereals with Henson Encore!

General Mills is celebrating the 55th anniversary of their monsters cereals with another collaboration with the Jim Henson Company. 

General Mills is pouring a bowl of bewitching fun with the return of the limited-edition Monsters Cereals. This year marks the 55th anniversary of Count Chocula, Boo Berry and Franken Berry and to celebrate, the iconic cereals are returning with newly designed packaging and the reimagined puppets created by The Jim Henson Company, first introduced last year.

Over the years, the Monsters have become a beloved tradition — from larger-than-life mascots to sought after collectibles — always signaling the start of the haunting Halloween season. This year, super fans can score a limited-edition fuzzy Count Chocula cereal box, designed to replicate the fleece-like texture of the puppets, available exclusively on Walmart.com for $7.76 starting October 1st.

“For 55 years, the Monsters have brought a smile, and a little thrill, to cereal bowls,” said Megan Brooks, Business Unit Director for Family Favorites Cereal at General Mills. “Fans loved Count Chocula, Boo Berry and Franken Berry reimagined through The Jim Henson Company's creativity last year, so we were excited to team up again to create fresh new packaging designs that celebrate the characters and bring even more Halloween fun to store shelves.”

“Last year, our team from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop had so much fun bringing these beloved Monsters to life as puppets, and we know our fans will enjoy seeing them again this season for more memorable magic,” said Nicole Goldman, Executive Vice President of Branding for The Jim Henson Company. “And new this Halloween, we're giving cereal and Jim Henson Company fans alike the chance to put their creativity to the test by transforming each cereal box into its own Monster puppet.”

The limited-edition collection of Monsters cereals will be available in retailers nationwide later this month.

Walt Disney World® Resort – "Muppet*Vision 3D" Original Park-Used Theatre Ornamentation (The Walt Disney Company, 1991 – 2025).

 "Kermit the Frog here, and welcome to ‘Muppet*Vision 3D!'" Ready to call "Action!" and start the show, Kermit the Frog makes an enchanting appearance with this architectural ornamentation that once adorned the inner theater of "Muppet*Vision 3D" at Disney's Hollywood Studios®. This recently closed beloved attraction was Disney Legend Jim Henson's final major project before his death in 1990, created in collaboration with Walt Disney Imagineering. Sometimes referred to as a "4-D" show, this attraction also utilized Audio-Animatronics®, a live Muppet character, and other similar effects for a truly immersive experience. This faux marble architectural element featuring Kermit holding a megaphone and crowned with laurels was one of several, each of which could be seen perched atop the double doors leading into and out of the main theater and mirroring a similar second Kermit holding a clacker board with comedy/tragedy masks of Fozzie Bear positioned between them. This cheerful ornamentation has been crafted from fiberglass and sculpting epoxy with hand-painted detail, giving it a marble-like Greco-Roman appearance, measuring approximately 15" x 32" x 20" overall. With typical handling and edge wear from park use, display, and storage, including minor paint wear with a break in his collar and megaphone handle, overall, this park-used architectural ornamentation featuring "Muppet*Vision 3D's" Kermit the Frog is in Good to Very Good condition. Accompanied by a Disney Certificate of Verification.

Huge, showstopping, and major certainly highlight the features of the striking 66" tall Miss Piggy theater caryatid from high on the walls of "Muppet*Vision 3D" at Disney's Hollywood Studios®. A masterful collaboration between Walt Disney Imagineering and The Jim Henson Company, this recently retired attraction was Disney Legend Jim Henson's final major project before his passing in 1990. "Muppet*Vision 3D" attraction also utilized Audio-Animatronics®, a live Muppet walkaround character, and other similar effects for a truly immersive experience sometimes referred to as a "4-D" show. This faux marble architectural element mimics Greco-Roman caryatids (sculpted female figures serving in place of a support column) with emblematic Muppet flair and could be spotted high on the walls on either side of the stage. Hand-painted and crafted from fiberglass and sculpting epoxy, Miss Piggy has a staggering size of approximately 66" x 30" x 13" (that's 5.5 feet tall!) with a substantial weight of 78 lbs. With typical handling and edge wear from park use, display, and storage, including minor paint wear/chipping and faint surface debris, overall, this park-used architectural ornamentation featuring "Muppet*Vision 3D's" Miss Piggy is in Good to Very Good condition.

RIP Sam Neill (1947 - 2026)

 Sad news as actor Sam Neill has died.

While best remembered by most audiences as Dr. Alan Grant in the Jurassic Park franchise, his career stretched across nearly five decades including standout turns in The Piano, The Hunt for Red October, and Peaky Blinders.

Neill also had a couple of memorable Henson connections. In 1998, he took on the title role in Merlin, the NBC/Hallmark Entertainment miniseries whose creature and visual effects were done by Jim Henson Creature Shop. Neill's performance earned strong reviews and helped the miniseries pull in a staggering 70 million viewers during its original broadcast and earned him both Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for best actor in a miniseries or TV film.

More recently, Neill returned to Henson territory with 2023's The Portable Door, an adventure-comedy produced by The Jim Henson Company starring alongside Christoph Waltz.

Can you read more about Sam Neal’s life at Variety.

Sam Neill was 78.
