    "The Muppet Movie" playing at Palace Theatre in Cleveland, OH

    This sounds great. I wonder if there's any way I could get there. I'd love to!

    Fozzie's Studebaker

    I have some. I found them on the Internet, and was disappointed that there seem to be so few pictures of this great car around. As the previous poster said, if you give me an email address I can send them to you. Oh, and if you want to see what the car (sadly) looks like now, look at my avatar.

    New Film Idea: Muppet Aladdin

    I really think the Muppets have to stop doing these adaptations and start doing original productions. Isn't there even one person on their staff who can come up with an original idea and put it to paper? To me the Muppets have always worked best when they were just being themselves, or at...

    Perhaps Scooter is a mutant of some sort.

    Happy Birthday "The Muppet Movie"!!!

    Yeah, it is a shame that there was nothing done to commemmorate the 25th anniversary of this classic movie. Well, the 30th is right around the corner, although I doubt they'll do anything then either. I wish I remember the exact date I went to see this for the first time. I know I saw it...

    missing line in theatrical Moving Right Along

    I definitely remember that line, but I don't remember noticing that it was missing. I'll have to listen to it.

    Electric Mayhem's origins

    That could be the best Muppet movie to come out in a long time! Instead of the EM just being background players like they seem to be now, let's see the focus on them and find out exactly where they came from.

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    Actually, it's because we had to do this dance along with the song, and my friend and I were up in the front during most of the practices, but we just couldn't get it right and our teacher said that we looked like we were just throwing our bodies back and forth, so they wound up sticking us in...

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    I definitely remember that one! In fact, back in 3rd grade we were doing The Happy Wanderer song as part of the school Christmas play, and I remember that this episode aired while we were practicing for it, so the next day everyone was all excited because we were doing the same song that they...

    Could Kermit have sued Doc Hopper?

    Actually, now that I think about it, Kermit and Co. weren't too worried about following the law themselves. After all, they traded in Fozzie's Studebaker, which probably actually was owned by his uncle so therefore they wouldn't have had the right to trade it at all, then drove off and across...

    Could Kermit have sued Doc Hopper?

    I remember that scene from when I was a little kid, and the thought of getting $500 seemed like a big deal. Of course, I see the movie now as an adult and I realize that this isn't even $2 a day...

    Could Kermit have sued Doc Hopper?

    Plus I'm sure Kermit could have had a restraining order slapped on the guy for stalking him halfway across the country. I would imagine that Doc Hopper broke a lot of laws in that one movie.

    My Three Point Plan

    Yesterday I watched The Muppet Movie, one of my favorite movies ever, for the umpteenth time. Despite the fact that I can practically speak line for line with the characters and that there don't seem to be any hidden surprises left for me to discover in that movie after viewing it literally...

    noticed something tonight while watching the muppet movie...

    I must have seen this movie a thousand times (literally) and I don't think I've ever noticed this. I'll have to watch it again now.

    When will we Muppet fans say somthing?

    I've seen this in other threads, and I definitely think that the Muppets of today are very different from the Muppets of twenty or thirty years ago. Honestly, I don't know if anything can be done about that. Too much has changed, and too many of the people behind the Muppets have either died...

    Was TMS shot in front of a live audience?

    I was in 1st or 2nd grade when TMM first came on TV, and I remember desperately wanting my parents to take me to be a part of that audience.

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    Yes, I actually saw this car back in January at the Studebaker Museum, or actually in the attic of the Studebaker Museum. The man in charge explained how the steering was done. By the way, my avatar is a picture of that same Studebaker, the way it looked earlier this year. They said they were...

    Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas

    I remember seeing this years ago when it was first on. It was fantastic, and I still have some of the songs going through my mind every so often. I've never watched any of the video releases, and therefore haven't seen it in years. I'm sorry that they have felt the need to cut them, but I'm...

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    This is a fascinating thread. I'm sorry I didn't read through it earlier, but I really wanted a time when I could just sit down and read it from beginning to end, and this was my first opportunity. It was well worth the time it took to read. Thank you for sharing so much of your experiences...
