    Billy Bunny's Animal Songs - My Thoughts

    Just a few days ago I found a used copy of Billy Bunny's Animal Songs and saw the whole thing for the very first time. I had seen copies at flea markets every once in awhile but hadn't picked 'em up, only to see them gone (or maybe a customer hid those copies until they could afford them later)...

    Whose Legs HAVEN'T We Seen?

    When it comes to puppets, we have seen Lew Zealand and Pops' legs in The Great Muppet Caper, most notably during the end credits. I don't think Bobby Benson's legs have ever been seen.

    My blog entry on Muppets!

    Good article, though I found a small error: You listed the back half of Mr. Snuffleupagus as one of Hunt's roles until 1992, as if Richard Hunt performed the back half until his death. But he had only performed the back half during the 1970s. I'm pretty sure he stopped performing the back half...

    Where's this clip from?

    No, while the sing-along openign included quite a few clips from those videos (a shame they didn't at least rerelease them as part of "Jim Henson's Preschool Collection"), the clip in question featured Billy Bunny, who was introduced in Billy Bunny's Animal Songs.

    Where's this clip from?

    There is a clip that appears in the Muppet Sing-Along openings, at least the ones seen in Billy Bunny's Animal Songs and It's Not Easy Being Green (the clips in the opening seem to change from video-to-video), but there's one in particular that I want to know where it comes from. The clip shows...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    One scene that appears in the junior novel but not the finished film occurs after the Muppets leave the theater and are suddenly surrounded by fans. Tex Richman sees what happens and then tells the Muppets to stop being happy, because (to him) only rich people can be happy. Not sure if this was...

    The Muppet Mindset

    It seems there was an editing error (I checked the e-mail I sent to see if I accidently deleted something but it was there). I had written "His stories, which include "Taylor the Turkey Who Loved Thanksgiving" and "Percy, the Pork-Loving Pig", are more ironic than scary", but the article cuts...

    The Muppet Mindset

    Ironically, I had thought that the eggnog sketch took place at a new years party, which was one of the reasons I wanted to do a Dr. Phil van Neuter article the week of New Years (no, it's not the only reason, and I had wanted to write one on the character for awhile). But then as I was...

    The Muppet Mindset

    My method of knowing if there's a new post on The Muppet Mindset, when I don't see updates announced, is checking the website every day, at least a few times until I see a new article. After all, the website pretty much posts a new article every day, though in the past few months it seems it has...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I realised that right after Floyd asks if they should have rented a bigger car, it cuts them leaving Mad Man Mooney's and Sweetums running after them. Has anybody noticed if they started driving a different (and perhaps bigger) car after that? It seems it would make sense for them to be there to...

    If he couldn't laugh at all, I wonder if they laughed at him for anything else he didn't laugh at.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Original Soundtrack

    The soundtrack is great. I've been listening to it so many times, I wonder if I'll get tired of the songs by the time the movie comes to DVD. Nah.... The tracks I skip the most are The Muppet Show Theme, Rainbow Connection (Moopets version), The Whistling Caruso, and Mahna Mahna. I am...

    lifes a happy song finale lyrics

    I've been watching this rehearsal footage of the finale quite a bit, especially in the weeks before the movie came out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyJuK_DINvg It sounds like some of the chorus lines were rerecorded by the time the movie came out (it had been announced that some of the finale...

    Questionably Educational SST Skits

    Tough Pigs had an article about an event that Frank Oz spoke at, and Frank Oz mentioned that when the Rupunzel sketch was being taped, Oz asked Jon Stone what the sketch was teaching, to which Stone asked, "Who cares?"

    MTM Edits

    That edit appears on the 1999 VHS release, but it was restored for the DVD release. Oddly enough, that VHS release (but not the DVD) also edited out the Tri-Star Pictures music. I know of edits that have been made to most of the movies, but I don't really know of any edits made to The Muppet...

    Funko POP! Muppet figures coming in 2012

    Looking at the website it seems the company normally releases five figures a series. So I guess series 1 would be Kermit, Fozzie, Piggy, Gonzo, and one other character, I'm guessing Animal (most likely, though I'd prefer they make series 2 The Electric Mayhem and include Animal there), but maybe...

    Dreams about Muppets

    I haven't seen any copies of the Playhouse Video compilations in person since 1996 (and the only ones I've watched since were the few that have been posted to YouTube). Whenever I find a video store or library I haven't been to I look to see if there are any copies there. I frequently search...

    "The Muppets" What were you half expecting

    Maybe because she's hot...... :D Though when I was wondering if she'd be concerned about Gary's Muppet fandom, I didn't think Mary would be a "stick-in-the-mud". Her attitude regarding her jealousy of Walter is pretty much how I would have expected her attitude to be if she was jealous of the...

    Little things we've noticed

    I've recently found a clip from episode 3083: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqITOAuW7Q8 One thing that I noticed: When Bruno whispers to Oscar, it looks more like he's trying to kiss Oscar. Yeah, it's hard for Caroll Spinney to move Bruno's mouth when he's got his hands full with Oscar, but...
