List your favorite animal moments here!

I liked it when animal went "FASTER! FASTER! FASTER!" in that song called "Sonny, one so true, I love you"

How about "Wanna take a trip?" Female AM: Sure! Animal: OK, Hang on!
and "1, 2, 3, dip! 1, 2, 3, dip!"

One moment I can think of is during the end credits for The Muppet Movie. Floyd and Janice are hugging and Animal is sitting the background. Janice tries to go hug Animal and he chases her yelling "Woman, woman! Fer sure! Fer sure!" lol

Plus Kermit's interview with Animal on The Muppet Show when he eats his own drums. :halo:

A personal favorite has always been the opening to The Great Muppet Caper where he imitates the MGM lion and eats the backdrop, the perfect way to kick off the picture. :halo:

In TMTM, when Kermit is giving his bows at the beginning of the movie.

Kermit: Some of us are graduating with honors.....
Animal: (Chasing student up the aisle) WOMAN, WOMAN, WOMAN!!!!!
Kermit: Some of us with the help of daily psychological counselling.

Rita Moreno and Animal performing "Fever" has always been one of my favorite Muppet moments.

"That my kind of woman!"

Another favorite is the opening number from the Rudolf Nureyev episode, in which the EM grudgingly perform "Minuet in G Major."

Teeth: What's this bummer called again?

Of course, Animal can't take it and stars bashing away at the drums, with the rest of the band happily following, leaving the number in shambles.

Anytime Floyd tries to keep Animal in check.

Floyd: Animal, Back!
Animal: Back!
Floyd: Sit!
Animal: Sit!
Floyd: Heel!
Animal: Heel!

My favorite Animal moment has to be from the "Kermit, Unpigged" album. Animal's increasing desperate attempts to get Kermit to "PLUG IN, PLUG IN!" instead of playing "Wild Thing" on a ukulele. Even though it's a non-visual moment, you can "see" what's happening just from the, um, noise.

I love the moment when he said "Boogie, oogie oogie"(or something like that) and dips the woman, then later on, she does the same thing, and he says "Thank you" There are other moments but I can't remember them off the top of my head

Yeah, I like how some of the college student extras try to act all annoyed in that scene, as though Animal does this all the time on campus, lol.
