Henson & Four Weddings & a Funeral!

[Muppetsdownunder]

You are probably wondering what the heck Henson has to do with the movie "Four Weddings & a Funeral" Its not something you usually see in the same sentence together. Well I asked myself the same question when at the end credits of four weddings and a funeral it has info and special thanks to The Jim Henson company. This made me very curious because I have no idea how The Jim Henson company could have anything to do with this movie. Does anyone know anything about this?

I hope someone can tell me because I am very curious!

It's simpler than it seems. The producer for Four Weddings and a Funeral was Duncan Kenworthy, who was one of the collaborators on Fraggle Rock and The Storyteller. I believe he's worked on several other Henson projects as well, including, if I'm not mistaken, Sesame Street.

Thanks for that. I guess he was owned by henson or something at that time.
He worked on the Dark Crystal also and here is his page on the imdb: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0448953/

No, no, it's because Hugh Grant calls his former girlfriend's mother Miss Piggy!

That's why...I think.

Oh yeah, thats another possibility but really its not necessarily referring the miss piggy we all know!

 

[Beauregard]

Yes, yes, it is.

I'm pretty sure that's why, but I may be wrong...if you can prove it.

I'm assuming you are right!
