    Question about The Muppet Movie

    Just as how some scientists have said that the more they learn about the complexities of how things in nature work, the more it strengthens their belief in a higher power to have created such majesty, i find knowing the "how" behind a scene doesn't take away the magic...because a large portion...

    Question about The Muppet Movie

    Congratulate yourselves as you're BOTH right! A number of different effects are used to get Muppets to do stuff and both of you made good guesses! The Fozzie/Kermit El Sleezo dance is a blue/green screen type effect and Kermit en route to Prof K's machine was radio control.

    Are the Muppeteers on salary or paid by appearance?

    Whenever they puppeteer the singing food, they get a celery. ...and Muppet Fish performers work for scale.

    Do you have a catch phrase?

    Okay, real answer: I often tend to say very Kermit-like "Oh good" Aside from that and other odd Muppet quotes, a lot of my catchphrases tend to be fave lines from my fave obscure songs: "Prima amore - WOW!" (Eurythmics, Wide Eyed Girl) "Swelligant" (Debbie Harry/Iggy Pop, Well Did Ya...

    What's happened to Marvel's Muppets Comic?

    My prediction. Someday when you least expect it, the Four Seasons issues will be released... ...but not in print but as a BluRay bonus feature where half the fans can't enjoy it anyway...

    The Muppets Blu-ray Easter Eggs

    Yeah, MC would whoop them - we'd call out their "Gonzo being contorted in RuNu* episode" and say "Fie! Gonzo was hardly IN that episode (much less got contorted) and you're probably thinking of the John Cleese episode...but even MORE likely, you're thinking of LINK in the PETER SELLERS episode!"...

    When you need to rant...

    Because wearing rainhats or snowshoes would be a fashion faux pas. (The sun's too high profile and widely seen to risk being on Mr Blackwell's worst dressed list)

    When you need to rant...

    Why else? So maybe if you're really lucky, none other than Bert will say to you, "Hey there lamp - that's a nice shade!"

    While a lot of "hidden messages" in movies are often people with too much time on their hands looking for fire where there's no smoke, hidden mickeys are a real thing that animators, theme park designers, and other Disney filmmakers purposely include in their projects...kind of a live-action...

    Is this a teaser poster for a Muppets sequel?

    Yes, it was taken down. Some investigation on its genesis traced it to a foreign company that does artwork for bootlegs.
