Animation Magazine: Mokey’s Makeover!

Pretty much everyone likes Fraggle Rock, and pretty much everyone was excited to see the Fraggles return in AppleTV+'s reboot Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, but a controversy of the new show has been Mokey's makeover.

Animation Magazine spoke with with the Henson Creature Shop’s New York-based creative supervisor Jason Weber about Mokey’s makeover and thought that went into it and why. 

"Mokey’s character (as delightful as she is) did not appear to be a peer of the characters. She seemed more of a mentor or parental figure as opposed to someone who was the same age as the others. So, for this new reboot, we wanted her to look younger, like a friend or sister."

 

You can see a few of the concepts and ideas they went through below.
