I'm starting to wonder if the reason why certain characters got excluded from The Muppets Character Encyclopedia is because the ones that were left out or went unmentioned are ones that we probably won't see in the movie.
Angel Marie is in there too.
And judging by Gloat's outfit, I suppose he's going to be a prisoner at the gulag, in addition to Calico, further fulfilling my wish to see a mix of both Muppet and human prisoners in the gulag, especially if it means bringing even more obscure characters back.
I...
You know, it would be really awesome if ALL of the characters in The Muppets Character Encyclopedia were to end up appearing in MMW. I doubt that it'll happen, but it would be awesome.
With Calico being among the prisoners at the gulag, I hope that there'll be other Muppet prisoners there as well, making the gulag have a mix of both Muppet and human prisoners, similar to how Long John Silver's crew in MTI was a mix of both Muppet and human pirates.
Also, one of the comments on that trailer also said that the Flying Zucchini Brothers are being shot out of the cannons on both sides of the screen in the first clip.

I wouldn't be surprised if this whole thing were to end up discouraging Disney from showing or exposing the Muppeteers in behind-the-scenes stuff even further and continuing their decision to portray them as "real" even longer.
On...
That's a good point, too.
Such comments tend to get annoying.
Then again, even if they did more BTS stuff, some of those people will still be blind and/or ignorant anyway.
Please do not imply that I'm a blind worshipper. I'm far from it. I'm just expressing a rational, well-thought-out view on the whole thing.
As for ToughPigs, I don't get annoyed by there not being BS or blind worship. I get annoyed by the fact that they do tend to express their opinions in...
I will say that I do agree, however, that they should MMW to Jerry Nelson and Jane Henson and hope that there'll be some sort of dedication to those two at some point in the film, either at the beginning or after the closing credits.
I think the closing credits would be more likely, since...
Sorry, but I completely disagree.
It's things like this that tend to annoy me enough at ToughPigs.
As for creating the notion of the Muppets being real, well...they ARE real.
I also think that part of why they're doing the whole "the Muppets are real" thing now more than ever is as a...
