  2. Remembering Jim Henson
    It's hard to believe that it has been 23 years since Jim's passing on May 16, 1990. Share your memories of May 16, 1990 and the impact Jim Henson continues to have on your life.

    Looking back in retrospect, I'm considering Uncle Deadly as the Chief Blue Meanie, and other assorted monster Muppets as additional Blue Meanies; as for Sam, Pepe, Bobo, Swedish Chef, Rizzo, Bunsen, Beaker, Statler & Waldorf, et al., some of them could be citizens of Pepperland that get bonked and eventually revived by a musical number involving The Electric Mayhem/Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and then they join up to help the good guys after they've been revived......

Some of the roles were easy to cast, while some weren't, but this movie was a really cute movie.)

    Floatsam and Jetsam- Andy and Randy Pig
    Max the Dog- Animal
    Chef Louie- Swedish Chef
    Carlotta- Hilda or Mildred Huxtetter

    Other possibilities:

    Sebastian: Pepe the King Prawn (since both characters are crustaceans)
  18. MissMusical12 Well-Known Member

    True, but I really don't see Pepe as Sebastian, since Sebastian also has to be very protective of Ariel.
  19. beatnikchick300 Active Member

    Aw, no. I think this casting is pretty good!
