    The Muppets Movie Reviews

    Was Miss Piggy's "Kermit, we need you!" line/scene in the film?

    Characters in the credits

    I often think about the credits to various production, which characters are listed among their performers and which ones are not. And sometimes certain choices seem weird. For example, in The Muppet Movie, The Swedish Chef isn't listed in the credit. He only got two lines in the movie, but so...

    Question about Jim Henson's Performer Credits on SST

    This gets me thinking, Jim Henson never got a "created by" credit. Maybe he didn't feel the need for such a credit. Though Charles Schultz usually got a "created by" credit in the Peanuts specials (I know, they're different people, I'm comparing apples and oranges....). Though quite a few...

    Skits of the Early 70s

    If Frank Oz did accept the role of Big Bird when offered, I wonder how many character's he'd have performed by now (or if he'd currently be a director). Would he have been limited to maybe two or three roles (it was already decided he'd perform Bert before Big Bird was created, but did Jim have...

    The Muppets Movie Reviews

    That's weird, considering her name is widely sourced. I find it weird when a major character in a movie has a proper name that's never mentioned on-screen. I used to wonder what the point of giving characters non-descriptive names was if they weren't going to be mentioned (first I realised it's...

    If "The Muppets" is a success: What's next?

    I know that Muppet Christmas Carol was the only one to have narrarators, but I thought putting a narrarator in a Muppet movie would be an interesting twist. Though I wasn't thinking in terms of how Gonzo and Rizzo were used in MCC, more along the lines of Sam's narraration of Muppet Snow White...

    The Muppets Movie Reviews

    The only productions I've seen that list Dave Goelz as Zoot are ones where he gets some dialogue. He didn't talk much in The Muppet Movie or Muppets Take Manhattan, but he did say something, and was credited in those (I do not yet know if he gets any dialogue in this movie).

    If "The Muppets" is a success: What's next?

    I thought about that a little, but figured they'd rather heckle the story. Though maybe it would be interesting to see the kind of Muppet movie Statler and Waldorf would want to see made (though the idea sounds better as a comic book story).

    Cartoon all stars to the rescue.

    There were hardly any pizza jokes or references in The Next Mutations series. I remember in one of the first episodes, Michelangelo asks if they want to get a pizza, and they (in annoyance) tell him to grow up. And I've read that pizza wasn't a big part of the original comics, just major in the...

    Amy Adams' invitation to be in movie on YouTube

    I wonder if they did anything like this for anyone else in the cast. Or if any other movies have done so.

    If "The Muppets" is a success: What's next?

    Just recently I've been thinking, I'd like the next Muppet movie to have a Muppet narrarator. Like most of us, I want the Muppets to play themselves, but having a narrarator might help avoid confusion if anyone does anything that contradicts the events of past productions (like most past...

    The Muppets Movie Reviews

    IAVMMCM = It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie. I guess it's debatable if JP Gross really died (I think it's actually said that "scooter's uncle" left them the theater). In that movie, the theater becomes a historical landmark, and can't be torn down or changed. By that logic, Tex can't...

    The Muppets, The Movie Junior Novel

    I think Dr.Tooth has asked about what the point of junior novels are, and something hit me: Reading the junior novel of this movie gives you a good enough idea of the movie (even if there are differences and scenes not in the book), so those of us who have read it can focus more on trying to...

    Speculation: "The Muppets" Video Game

    Just because there's rumors of a Muppet video game doesn't mean it'll be based on the movie. There very well could be a general Muppet video game in the works.

    New Stuff At The Parks. Star Wars/Muppet Figures!

    I wonder if there'll be more sets. If not for the fact that Animal was in this one, they could do an Electric Mayhem set. Or maybe they still can, only include Rowlf instead of Animal (I'd rather have an Electric Mayhem collection with no Animal than no Lips). Though it would be a little cool to...

    New Stuff At The Parks. Star Wars/Muppet Figures!

    First of all, the question we're probably all asking: why so much park exclusive Muppet merchandise? Second of all, that regular PVC set, it's hard to tell if it's promoting the movie or the franchise, but it's weird it includes a Rizzo PVC instead of a Walter one (are those figures rereleases...

    Knowing the Wanda Sykes scene was cut, I wondered if it was just that part or the whole "muppets in jail" sequence was cut. The junior novel does include them going to jail, though.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Original Soundtrack

    I've never listened to Muppet Central Radio. I think I tried once but couldn't figure out how to do it. But I'd like to know how songs are played. Are several songs just programmed and picked randomly? Is there a way to avoid showing every song from one album in a row in the order they appear on...

    TV Alert: Muppets on Dancing with the Stars November 15

    I feel they should have included Sweetums and the Mutations dancing with all those extras. And any full-body monster we're not aware of being in the movie. Somehow I think Thog would be too big and fragile to do that kind of dancing. It's a shame that none of the characters originated by Jerry...
