Normally I prefer the deleted scenes to be kept seperate (otherwise they wouldn't be listed as features), though in this case I think it'd be best for the DVD to be an extended version with all deleted plot points and all deleted scenes not inportant to the plot be seperate.

I hope we find out when the DVD comes out. Though there was a receent interview with James Bobin where he said that most of the deleted scenes were cut for time (with so many plot points cut, I wonder how many acts from the telethon were cut. It seems those would be easier to cut out, though I'm...

It's been said that the movie has exeeded expectations and is only two million dollars away from making back the budget spent. I think it's now the second highest-grossing Muppet movie of all time. I hope that within the next few months Disney will put out more mainstream Muppet merchandise.

Regarding why Kermit and Piggy split up, in The Movie Junior Novel, there's a flashback to the wedding, with Kermit saying "I thought Gonzo was going to play the priest" (yeah, in MTM he says "minister"). Then, a few weeks later, Miss Piggy tells Kermit that she's gotten them a home, to which...

The main features that I want: Audio commentary Deleted scenes and outtakes (if the DVD could only have one of the two and I could pick I'd pick deleted scenes) A behind-the-scenes featurette (or two or three) A scene-by-scene comparison between the season three opening and the opening recreated...

Well, we've never had two Muppet films released two years in a row. I wonder if any movies took more development time than The Muppets (recently when Tough Pigs did a series of articles on Muppetzine it mentioned that Muppet Treasure island had numerous production delays).

I feel like A Boy Named Charlie Brown (and maybe Snoopy Come Home) gave a little bit more effort. ABNCB seems to be very artsy, has a number of cool split-screen scenes, has that cool piano piece from Schroeder, and has the amazing skating scene with Snoopy. Paw Dugam recently reviewed Snoopy...

I'm thinking that all the characters who only appear during Kermit's big speech were not rebuilt puppets, and all minor characters who appear many times were rebuilt, whether for this movie or recently. Somehow that makes sense, as they pretty much use all minor characters outside of that scene...

As those of us who have read the book and seen the movie know, there are many scenes in the book not in the movie. One scene not in the movie involves a member of the audience who does an act, scamming the audience into putting their wallets in a sack which he runs off with. After the telephone...

I just remembered something about the movie that I had forgotten about: The credits list "stunt voices" for Rocky. What's a stunt voice for? Were there lines June Foray either couldn't do well or refused to say? I can see actors needing stunt double but voice actors?

Well, when Disney got the Muppets, they made a special deal with The Jim Henson Company allowing them to continue building the Muppets and developing ideas for Muppets for five years (which has expired by now), though it seems most of the Muppet stuff planned during that time got canceled.

Anyone else find it odd that Thog was among the relatively small group of characters in the office when they get their chance to do the telethon? Pretty much everyone else there got a scene earlier in the film and had been well-known to casual fans (well, fans would have known who Walter and...

The "Man or Muppet" sequence was a lot funnier than I remember. And I laughed a lot at many of the visual gags in the opening "Life's a Happy Song" number.

I wore my Kermit Klien t-shirt and Kermit hat. I got one or two compliments from people at the theater.

There were many reports that the movie includes "every Muppet you can think of", but unless they were in deleted scenes I doubt every Muppet was in it. I hardly saw anyone I didn't see in the trailers, and the only scene I noticed where there were so many Muppets you'd have to pause to see...

I thought that the studio and theater were next door to each other, not neccessarily connected. They were both there at the end when Kermit made his big speech, and Rizzo (and the other rats) was with Beauregard during the final song.

I think he also mentioned Swedish Chefs and boomerang fish. With Rizzo only being in the background a few times and no lines, this must be the first Muppet movie where Lips has more screentime than Rizzo (though Lips doesn't have any lines, ether... I think Rizzo just barely had more...

Currently watching Snoopy Come Home on ABC Family, and just started wondering, was the scene where Charlie Brown tells Linus about how he first got Snoopy based on an existing strip? The same basic scene appears in Life's a Circus, Charlie Brown as well, so I'm willing to bet it is.

Practically half the songs from The Muppets are stuck in my head now.

I just realised some irony: This movie and It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie have very similar plots (though this one's not a Christmas movie), and the original releases have been close to the same time of year; this came out on thanksgiving (well, the day before thanksgiving), and Very...
