Plymouth Muppet Traffic Safety Show

[CountFan1998]

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. , and even 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. Thanks!

I'm sure you will have already seen this, but there are some photos of it on Muppet Wiki: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Plymouth_Muppet_Traffic_Safety_Show

Yeah, (without sounding sarcastic) I already saw it. Most of the photos out there I have already seen. The attention to detail is superb, as the camerman and 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 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, 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...

Oh yeah, you're right. Sorry, I missed the post you made before. My bad.
