George Lucas originally offered the role of Yoda to Jim Henson, who was too busy to be involved with The Empire strikes back and recommended Frank Oz, who has performed Yoda in every Star Wars movie since. kathy Mullen also performed Yodas right hand in The Empire Strikes back.

I wouldn't complain about Bob Iger wanting to get the existing muppet library of titles released soon. So far Disney hasn't really marketed much existing muppet titles on DVD or television, and the stuff that Disney has made available are stuff that I would have expected to be released. I would...

Well, one reason is probably because the Jim henson Company was really picky about how Miss Piggy should look in merchandise. I do not know if Disney is as picky or not. i guess we'll just have to wait untill there starst to be a lot of new Miss Piggy dolls (approved by Disney and not henson)...

Kermits final sceen was cut from the Columbia/ tri-Star release, so editing the two DVD releases together wouldn't get you an uncut copy.

Did all of the characters who visited Scooter request songs or stories? Did the fish request Friendship or Octopuses Garden?

So, Disney refused to allow Kermits scenes to be included after all? Thats terrible! :mad: I wonder why Disney wouldn't allow kermit in the DVD release. Disney allows for Kermits old scenes to be on Sesame Street. I don't think that Hit! is a major competitor against Disney. It's not like it is...

Maybe two volumes would be more like it..... Kermit The Frog: 50 years of being green vol. 1 1. Happy Feet 2. I Hope That Something Better Comes Along 3. I Won't Dance 4. Together Again 5. Steppin' Out With A Star 6. Moving Right Along 7. Being Green 8. Love led Us here 9...

That's weird that Waldorf appeared but Statler didn't. Yes, I know Richard Hunt was performing Scooter, but Statler still could have made an appearance, or Waldorf could have been left out. Were any clips with Statler shown? Who performed the fish (I'm guessing Jim Henson, since he performed the...

What are these ranks from?

I wonder why it is usually suggested that Muppets Tonight will come out on DVD after every season of The Muppet Show is on DVD. Couldn't it be released on DVD before the last season? After all, this is a different show, not just a continuation of The Muppet Show with a new title. If Disney...

Several episodes of Muppet babies, including Gonzos Muppet Video Show, Muppet babies: The next generation, and the episode where nanny planned a vacation all had refferences to Star Wars. Clips from the star wars movies have also been used on the show.

I wonder why none of his writing credits are listed at the internet movie database. I also wonder if he ever considered writing for Sesame Street.

Who were the Bogs? Were they those creatures who looked a bit like monsters? The ones who had a line about bringign the peanut butter jars during the end credits? According to the Internet Movie Database, he did perform Bogg as well as Mr. Knack. It is weird that he was a regular performer...

Jack Burns was part of a comedy team called Burns and Schriever, with the other half of that team being Avery Schriver, who guest starred on The Muppet Show in the first season. Jack Burns was also the head writer during the first season of The Muppet Show, and he helped write the first two...

One issue of Muppet magazine had both a cover featuring Kermit as Luke, Gonzo as Darth, and Miss Piggy as Leia, as well as a comic book called Super Stars War, featuring Kermit as a Luke Skywalker parody, Miss Piggy as a Princess Lea parody, Gonzo as barf mcvader and supersnozz, Fozzie as...

Was Scooter visited by any other characters in Childrens Songs And Stories, like Kermit, Robin, or some muppet kids? Also, I ried to start a seperate thread about Fozzies Muppet Scrapbook, but everytime I do for some reason there is an error preventing the thread to show up. Anyway, my...

In it's A Verry Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, Janice had a few lines, such as "I'm tuning up ,my harp, fer sure!", "Call me materialistic but how can we have christmas without any money?", and "I'm rully in". Animal did some shouting while playing the drums (or a similar instrument) and he also...

When he was performed by Brian meehle, from 1979-1984.

Tatooey was the rat who dressed like a sailor. He did talk a slight bit faster than Telly, though. He only spoke in a few scenes: When Rizzo introduced the rats (he said "Yo!"), during Rizzos Rat Scat (he said, "The coffees fine! Come on in!"), and I think he had a line when the rats were under...

I think Prarie Dawn did appear when Big Bird came back to Sesame Street. Her head can be seen sticking out one of the windows. I think it is in the building that Elmo stuck his head out of. She's close to the side of the screen, which makes it a bit difficult to see her. There was also a boy...
