    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    you said that every muppet except for the earlier ones and the ones from saturday night live were there. actually, this is not true. there are a lot of full-body characters not there. sweetums wasn't there, but that was probably so his ending appearance would be a surprise. The Mutations...

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    I have read that it was john landis, although I believe I have read that steven spielberg was also in this sequence. Why did a director perform in that scene anyway? Do you know why Jim Henson didn't include any of the earlier Sam And friends muppets in that scene?

    Why are recent Muppets tries all flops?

    I think that the next movie should have more main characters. The great muppet caper had a lot of main characters. Perhaps the muppets should go on vacation in their next movie, and have almost everybody come. therecould be a main plot involving kermit, miss piggy, fozzie bear, gonzo, rizzo...

    I have read two interviews with steve whitmire where he says that at his last meeting with jim henson, jim was concerned with the fact that steve whitmire didn't have very many muppet characters besides rizzo the rat (one of those interviews also mentioned bean bunny). of course, if jim henson...

    The mystery of 'No Bo' and other such questions...

    He already had a very short cameo in the movie (helping load the bus), so giving him a very short cameo (such as one of the bunnies that fozzie feared) wouldn't have been too different.

    if TMS DVDs have commentary...

    yeah, I am starting to doubt that there will be commentary, but all official information about the DVDs still say "and much more", so we never know. and if there is not commentary, the Muppet Morsels will be the next best thing.

    beauregard could have done Lindbergs job on The Jim Henson Hour (although dave goelz did perform digit and lindberg often had to help fix digit).
