Muppets cast and crew interviews

[Alvin]

I heard Pepe is not in the movie MUCH...to me he adds alot to the Muppets...wonder why they haven't pushed or used him very much

True. Also, the writers were not such fans of Pepe -- I think he had just one line in the original script -- but his role has been expanded in the movie itself, so that's good. I have no doubt that he'll be hosting all the backstage stuff for this movie though!

Pffft! You think that's waiting, try waiting till Valentine's Day! I don't wanna hear any more complaining about the 15 day wait, when I'm gunna be hopping up and down on one leg over here until February!

Oh good, these are gems and sadly the original files posted were messed up.

I swear, rewatching Walter's interview...I don't know if Linz is using MC as material or actually making fun of when we harp and whine on a certain topic(myself included) Either way I loved it. First time I've seen a Muppet make references to us in a long time.

I have a feeling a lot of muppet fans are not aware of post Jim Henson productions or characters, hence a lack of knowledge regarding Pepe. Ive met people who say they love the muppets but arent even aware of anything theyve done in the last decade
