The immersive experience, titled "Larger Than Life: Starring Wallace & Gromit, Shaun and More," will take over the Lightroom at London's King Crossing this October, marking the Oscar-winning outfit's 50th anniversary. Beloved characters Wallace, Gromit, Morph, and Shaun the Sheep will share the silver screen for perhaps the first time this year-not in a feature film, but in a 50-minute ode to their creator, Bristol-based animation studio Aardman.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - When Patrick Benson popped the question to Barbara Olsen two weeks before Valentine's Day in 1976, she didn't want to accept his marriage proposal in the typical ordinary way. So she turned to the Staten Island Advance. That year, the paper had kicked off a playful new Valentine's Day tradition - Love Lines - a popular addition which continued for decades. Love Lines were special, short advertisements aimed at those in love, those falling in and out of it and those looking for commitment.

But Seth Rogen and director Alex Timbers had the good idea, for The Muppet Show's 50th anniversary, to just bring back the Vaudeville-inspired original instead of reinventing Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo and the rest of the gang for our social media age.
