Talk:A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa

Title
The latest official NBC Press release uses the title "A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa". Should we change our title around to match their titling? -- Brad D. (talk ) 02:18, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't know... Press releases are hard to figure sometimes. I'd prefer to keep it the way it is for the moment, until we get some more confirmation. -- Danny (talk ) 02:32, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Well there have been official documents released on this special. The latest one used "A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa"; whereas the initial one used "Letters to Santa – A Muppets Christmas". Neither of which match our title "Letters to Santa: A Muppets Christmas". I can't find any sources to match our variation. -- Brad D. (talk ) 02:40, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, the typography doesn't really matter that much here. Chances are, the on-screen title won't have a colon or a dash -- it'll probably just have one title in big letters, and the other title in small letters. Putting a colon between them is just our standard way of expressing that, like with Studio DC: Almost Live.


 * For the order of the phrases, the two documents that we have conflict with each other. I don't think there's a compelling reason to say that the second one is necessarily more correct than the first; press releases get that kind of thing backwards all the time. To me, the first title sounds better, and I think it's more likely. We can wait until we have a third source. -- Danny (talk ) 02:56, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Or better yet, wait until we have a screen title. Several times we've moved on that basis, and advance publicity is great, but as I mentioned on the DC talk page, it's not always permanent or the best source. See Talk:John Denver & the Muppets: A Christmas Together or the fairly recent Secret Lives of Toys discussion as examples where we weigh multiple sources and decide how to proceed, weighing title cards, publicity, registration documents, and who knows what, but in this case, it'll probably be simplified once it either airs or we get a lot closer and have more than two sources to choose between. -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 03:40, 28 September 2008 (UTC)




 * I think it'll probably be settled when we see an advertisement -- either a print ad, TV or online. -- Danny (talk ) 04:20, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Well we now have official advertisements (both televised and online) that bill the special as "A Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa". -- Brad D. (talk ) 22:41, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Here's a list of the actors and the characters they will be playing. I wasn't sure how it would get added to the article. -Joltman 18:44, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
