I expected that. Normally whenever movies include clips owned by outside companies, they include copyright notices for the footage. But I was surprised to see that they didn't just give Sesame Workshop a copyright acknowledgement for the clip, but also for associated characters and elements...

I thought it might be fun to tally up all similarities I found between this, The Great Muppet Caper, and The Muppets Take Manhattan. Similarities to The Great Muppet Caper: A random appearance by the villain in the opening song (then again, in TMM we saw Max and Doc Hopper before we knew who...

I've been wondering why the Newsman never gets injured in any of his movie appearances.

I wonder why they couldn't have replaced or cut Walter's line about the song's title being The Muppets... Again. After all, many of the songs had cut lines (and that part wasn't in the music video for "We're Doing a Sequel"). Not sure how easy it would have been to come up with a different line...

I was wondering what the context of the "buh we don't got any instruhments" line would have been about. I noticed that Lips is there quite a bit for maybe the first hour, but then he seems to disappear for the rest of the movie. He's not at the wedding, he's not in the gulag finale, he's not...

Really? I felt like there was less of that than I would have expected.

According to The Muppet Mindset's interview with Nick Stoller, he wanted to include a cameo by the Martians, but couldn't figure out a way to include them (I would have put them in Constantine's song, or on the train for one scene). It's never brought up in the interview whether Disney and/or...

Today The Muppet Mindset posted an interview with writer Nick Stoller, and he said that he had tried to put a cameo by the Martians into the movie, but couldn't find a way that fit the plot (I think they could have been in the "I'll Give You What You Want" song). The fact that they are owned by...

So Nadya catches Kermit escaping because she knows what escape plans prisoners use. She knows the first, second, and third attempts they make. I wonder if she would have caught Kermit if he went back to his first or second attempt ("going back to the second attempt is always the fourth thing...

The ending in the book is a little less happy than in the finished film. The book ends with Nadya arresting Kermit not just for breaking out of the gulag, but also for stealing her heart, and the Muppets get their prison sentence shortened from several years to just six months in exchange...

When I saw the official credits listing, I was surprised to see that Pepe was billed first of Bill Baretta's characters. But while there's more of Rowlf and arguably more of Dr. Teeth and The Swedish Chef, it seems like none of Bill Baretta's characters are really that dominant (though Rowlf...

Well, I saw the movie this morning. The first showing I could. And it was great. Not much from the commercials was cut. There's some things that I think were cut, but I don't know off-hand whether the visuals were there and they just looped the lines (though looped lines could have been...

Well, since the film comes out tomorrow, I guess I'll say which characters I was surprised to see have a part in the film. It was Bobby Benson and his baby band.

I just found the Director Displacement page, which lists instances where the wrong person is often cited as the director when they didn't direct, though they often are people involved with the film (like producers and writers). I looked to see if it mentioned anything about Jim Henson. I would...

There's a few songs I've listened to lately that I've gotten in my head constantly. There's "Good bye So Soon" from The Great Mouse Detective (I just watched it again for the first time in years). And there's "Got to Believe in Magic" from Zapped (another movie I watched for the first time...

This past day I've had "Goodbye So Long" from The Great Mouse Detective stuck in my head.

One thing I find interesting: It says that Jim Henson had problems with the first script for The Great Muppet Caper, which longtime Muppet writer Jerry Juhl wrote, and hired Tom Patchet and Jay Tarse to rewrite the script. And then those two wrote the first draft of The Muppets Take Manhattan...

I assume this was unscripted, so it's funny that Dr. Teeth and Floyd give the same response when hearing the name Justin Bieber.

If you just count the MuppeTelevision segments, then that's 7/9. Then again, Rowlf was also a bigger character than Statler and Waldorf, and they were both recast soon after Richard Hunt had died. And their recast voices were a lot different from the voices Jim and Richard had given them...

Regarding first appearance errors, I decided to look at all the pages for characters who first appeared on Muppets Tonight and check the Muppet Wiki page listing the production order, as that is used for the Muppets Tonight character debuts (it's also used for the MuppeTelevision debuts, though...
