There have been many scenes where multiple characters performed by the same person spoke in the same take, causing the regular performers to dub at east one voice and have it edited in later. Let's guess who was performing certain characters in these scenes.
The Muppet Movie:
In the scene with Kermit and Rowlf interracting together, I think Frank Oz was performing Rowlf, since Miss Piggy was also in that scene, but she never appeared at the same time as Rowlf. Frank Oz was there, which is what makes me think he performed Rowlf. I think the hands were performed by either Steve Whitmire or Richard Hunt. I know that Steve liked performing characters who played instruments, and he said in an interview that eh would often perform Rowlfs hands whenever playing the piano (He most likely didn't during the last season closing and u.k. spots from the Beverly Sills and Roger Moore episodes, since he was probably performing Lips in those scenes). Tough Pigs has an anthology about an earlier draft of the script, which mentioned that Statler and waldorf had a scene at the resturaunt that wasn't in the movie. This could have been filmed and cut, or it could have never been filmed. If it was cut from the movie, then Richard Hunt would have been available to perform Rowlf or his hands.
Since Eren Ozker performed in this movie, I think she might have performed Janice in scenes with janice and scooter, since she originally performed janice.
I'll post some more thoughts later.
