    For fans who don't know, in 1988 (possibly earlier) Jim Henson :)jim:) teamed up with the Plymouth division of Chrysler to create a touring presentation about traffic safety. Kids could ride in small vans around a movie backlot featuring animatronic Muppets ( i.e. :):mad::o:concern::halo:, and even :eek::zany::cluck: and Robin!) created by Advanced Animations, that told visitors about various traffic safety lessons while filming their newest film.

    What I want to know, is if anyone on here has seen/experienced it, or if there is any known video online. The whole concept seems really interesting! :)

    If anyone knows the lyrics to Play it Safe, that would also be helpful. :D Thanks!

    Yeah, (without sounding sarcastic) I already saw it. Most of the photos out there I have already seen. The attention to detail is superb, :concern: as the camerman and :zany:s coming out of the schoolbus is genius! Any other information would be helpful. Thanks! :)
    P.S. Does anyone know which characters had speaking roles? I assume :):o:concern::mad::halo: and Robin have line since the audio was recorded by Jim, Frank and Jerry.

    OMG... that is the coolest thing I have ever seen! I grew up in the 80's and I have NEVER seen this before! I would love to see a video or more pics of it too! :)

    Gonzo was there. He's shown with a camera in one of the photos on Muppet Wiki.

    Yeah, but Dave Goelz wasn't listed recording the audio track.

    In fact, :concern: appears as the cameraman in every scene, I believe. He's shown in the schoolbus and ice cream shop scenes. At least they gave him a purpose for a silent character...

    I'm sure that Advanced Animations has some footage. I've heard that someone has camcorder footage, and someone else has a promo tape, so footage is out there! I just need to see it first! :D
