    The way Robert DeNiro's career is going, I was kind of thinking he'd play Alf.

    One of my all time favorite shows. Been watching it on the hub. Ticks me off they aren't going to use a puppet. The faces they used to be able to do with a puppet were awesome. CGI is ok but dang i wish they dusted off the old props and used those.

    If Alf comes out looking as good as Ted did, I don't care if he's a puppet or not. That kind of thing never bothers me anyway.

    That's absolutely ridiculous.
    The guy who does the voice of Alf, and the puppet itself, are alive kicking and well. Anybody catch that ALf's Talk Show on TV Land a few years ago? 'Twas great.

    CGI? LAAAAAAAMMMMEEE. Do they have any idea how many old-schoolers would get behind the original Alf in a movie, like they did the muppets (although it would be a smaller fanbase)? And just as many kids would go to see that, they love puppets as much as hoakey CGI, maybe more.

    Lame.

    As an Alf fan, I can remember watching the first episode anxiously as a child, this is great news. Don't worry, the cgi will probably be pretty realistic.

    Alf wasn't about being realistic. The fun of the show was that ALF was a a puppet. They could have, at the time, used a more realistic looking animatronic design but they went with a furry muppet. That was the gimmick.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    I'm imagining it will look like Yoda in the new movies meaning it will look like CGI

    CGI makers still haven't mastered the flow of real life movement

    They have come a long way with cgi but to me it still doesn't come close to a real puppet.
