According to The Muppet Mindset's interview with Nick Stoller, he wanted to include a cameo by the Martians, but couldn't figure out a way to include them (I would have put them in Constantine's song, or on the train for one scene). It's never brought up in the interview whether Disney and/or...

Today The Muppet Mindset posted an interview with writer Nick Stoller, and he said that he had tried to put a cameo by the Martians into the movie, but couldn't find a way that fit the plot (I think they could have been in the "I'll Give You What You Want" song). The fact that they are owned by...

So Nadya catches Kermit escaping because she knows what escape plans prisoners use. She knows the first, second, and third attempts they make. I wonder if she would have caught Kermit if he went back to his first or second attempt ("going back to the second attempt is always the fourth thing...

The ending in the book is a little less happy than in the finished film. The book ends with Nadya arresting Kermit not just for breaking out of the gulag, but also for stealing her heart, and the Muppets get their prison sentence shortened from several years to just six months in exchange...

When I saw the official credits listing, I was surprised to see that Pepe was billed first of Bill Baretta's characters. But while there's more of Rowlf and arguably more of Dr. Teeth and The Swedish Chef, it seems like none of Bill Baretta's characters are really that dominant (though Rowlf...

Well, I saw the movie this morning. The first showing I could. And it was great. Not much from the commercials was cut. There's some things that I think were cut, but I don't know off-hand whether the visuals were there and they just looped the lines (though looped lines could have been...

Well, since the film comes out tomorrow, I guess I'll say which characters I was surprised to see have a part in the film. It was Bobby Benson and his baby band.

I just found the Director Displacement page, which lists instances where the wrong person is often cited as the director when they didn't direct, though they often are people involved with the film (like producers and writers). I looked to see if it mentioned anything about Jim Henson. I would...

There's a few songs I've listened to lately that I've gotten in my head constantly. There's "Good bye So Soon" from The Great Mouse Detective (I just watched it again for the first time in years). And there's "Got to Believe in Magic" from Zapped (another movie I watched for the first time...

This past day I've had "Goodbye So Long" from The Great Mouse Detective stuck in my head.

One thing I find interesting: It says that Jim Henson had problems with the first script for The Great Muppet Caper, which longtime Muppet writer Jerry Juhl wrote, and hired Tom Patchet and Jay Tarse to rewrite the script. And then those two wrote the first draft of The Muppets Take Manhattan...

I assume this was unscripted, so it's funny that Dr. Teeth and Floyd give the same response when hearing the name Justin Bieber.

If you just count the MuppeTelevision segments, then that's 7/9. Then again, Rowlf was also a bigger character than Statler and Waldorf, and they were both recast soon after Richard Hunt had died. And their recast voices were a lot different from the voices Jim and Richard had given them...

Regarding first appearance errors, I decided to look at all the pages for characters who first appeared on Muppets Tonight and check the Muppet Wiki page listing the production order, as that is used for the Muppets Tonight character debuts (it's also used for the MuppeTelevision debuts, though...

Well, when those were made, The Jim Henson Company owned all its characters, and might not have cared that much if there was confusion. Disney doesn't want to confuse the marketplace about who owns who. And casual fans do get confused. As a kid, I knew who "The Muppet Show" Muppets were and...

Well, today's WMW spotlight's Constantine. I think there is one little spoiler in there (at the very least I don't remember knowing about it, outside of the junior novel): http://themuppetmindset.blogspot.com/2014/03/weekly-muppet-wednesdays-constantine.html

That's too bad. I know that he's listed in the credits, but I guess that's not too different from Zoot being in the credits for The Muppets despite not having any lines in that.

I just saw "Pretty in Pink" for the first time, and then looked at that page on TV Tropes, and it's said that this movie is obviously '80s even for an '80s movie. But as I was watching it, while it does have a lot of '80s styles and music, I feel it looks more like the '90s version of the '80s...

I'm sure that Mr. Peabody and Sherman were included because of the movie. If not for the movie, I would have expected Dudley Do-Right to be included (I like Mr. Peabody better, but Do-Right seems to have been the most popular supporting segment), and if I was in charge I would have included...

I just saw that Funko Pop is supposed to be coming out with figures of Rocky, Bullwinkle, Mr. Peabody, and Sherman. http://www.hollywoodgonegeek.com/2014/01/toys-rocky-bullwinkle-mr-peabody-sherman-funko-pop-vinyl-figures-revealed.html
