Last month’s special collections of shorts, entitled Rock On!, saw the beloved characters of the original series — Gobo, Red, Boober, Mokey, Wembley and Uncle Traveling Matt — return for new stories and classic songs with special guests including Alanis Morissette, Common, Jason Mraz, Neil Patrick Harris, Tiffany Haddish and Ziggy Marley, all filmed from the artists’ homes in accordance with the global quarantine.

The original series, which premiered on HBO in 1983, featured a world populated by a mix of human characters and Fraggle Rock puppets. Initial plans for the movie had the core characters Gogo, Wembley, Mokey, Boober, and Red leaving their home in Fraggle Rock and interacting with humans.
