    The hands of Lips

    when steve whitmire performed lips, where his arms operated by arm wires, or was he a live hand puppet? Whenever Lips played the trumpet, i noticed that his fingers move along with the trumpet keys. I don't ever recall seeing arm wires on lips, even though he looks like the kind of muppet...

    I'm glad i'm me plot

    even though the video is about the human body, the title makes it sound like it is about self-acceptance, although I do knwo that the video does have some self-acceptance skits, like "being green" and "me gotta be blue" (are they shown back-to-back?) i haven't seen it, but I have read a listing...

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    their "real" team-up was in Labrynth. I wonder if that had anything to do with having the star wars cast on the Muppet Show and Sesame Street? according to the internet movie database, George Lucas appeared as an extra in the crown at the end of Follow That Bird. I am not sure how true this is...

    you said that every muppet except for the earlier ones and the ones from saturday night live were there. actually, this is not true. there are a lot of full-body characters not there. sweetums wasn't there, but that was probably so his ending appearance would be a surprise. The Mutations...

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    I have read that it was john landis, although I believe I have read that steven spielberg was also in this sequence. Why did a director perform in that scene anyway? Do you know why Jim Henson didn't include any of the earlier Sam And friends muppets in that scene?

    I think that the next movie should have more main characters. The great muppet caper had a lot of main characters. Perhaps the muppets should go on vacation in their next movie, and have almost everybody come. therecould be a main plot involving kermit, miss piggy, fozzie bear, gonzo, rizzo...

    The mystery of 'No Bo' and other such questions...

    He already had a very short cameo in the movie (helping load the bus), so giving him a very short cameo (such as one of the bunnies that fozzie feared) wouldn't have been too different.

    if TMS DVDs have commentary...

    yeah, I am starting to doubt that there will be commentary, but all official information about the DVDs still say "and much more", so we never know. and if there is not commentary, the Muppet Morsels will be the next best thing.
