Monsterpiece Theater: Gone with the Wind

[MuppetDude]

What tapes???

The tapes we're trading!

And thanks, Count. I like your idea of e-mailing them, but I prefer to list them over the forum in case somebody else has never seen them before, or wonder where the origin of a certain character comes from (for instance, an old commercial from the Odyssey channel featured Ditz irritating Miss Piggy as she was talking to her agent on a cell phone).

I should also point out that many of the characters that don't make a significant contribution to the special are my own made-up names (like the "Steamboat Duck" and the "Magic Bunnies").

Anyway: blah, blah, blah. I've talked enough: here's the rest of the list:

BLEEP--a square-headed robot with a hinged mouth and a vertically tiny red nose. He has a blue "mask" over his lidless eyes, amd he moves around on his fuschia rectangular blocks that slide back and forth. His hands look sort of like rounded hooks, two on each hand that help him to pick up things.

DING-A-LING--a toy pink telephone on yellow wheels. She has a red beak in the middle of her light-blue rotary dialer, which is below her round (moving) eyes (which also have lashes).

CRUISER--yet another character that looks like a Doozer, but with shades instead of eyes. He wears a green driving hat and a red/white striped shirt. His skin is brown and he has a trapezoid-shaped nose. He sits on top of (and inside) a toy taxi.

METEORA--a white-fazed woman with big black pupils in her eyes. She has curly orange hair and wears a blue helmet and breastplate, both with red and orange trim and design. Her garment underneath is lavendar, and her cape is silver. She also has red lips and blue boots. Meteora is probably the most complicated-looking puppet in the special.

MEWTOO--a lavendar, cleaner version of Mew with a sky-blue nose.

That's it for the Muppets, now here's the people (and animal):

JAMIE JONES--about eight-or-nine years old, she has long black hair and light skin. She's played by Marsha Moreau.

JESSE--Jamie's brown-haired(is that right?) little brother. He's played by Zachary Barnett.

MR. AND MRS. JONES--Jamie and Jesse's parents. Their faces are never seen.

MOLLY--voiced by Camille Bonora, she's also "faceless" and is Jamie and Jesse's big sister.

OUIJA--the family's fluffy gray cat.

There's a couple of background toys, too. I won't list them unless you wish to include them in your list. Otherwise, that's it!

And to get back on the subject, "Miss Scarlett" is a lavendar frog with curly black hair, bulgy round eyes (with lids and lashes), gold earrings, and wears a black dress with a brown shawl.

Thank you MuppetDude for coming through once again! Your reasons are understood, and so long as the info's out there then it's OK with me.
Miss Scarlet was one I was hoping you'd sneak in there, and she'll be Muppet character #1823, yes that's the standing total for now.
Thought the name of the cat was Luigi, but it's a little funny to know his name is spelled the same way as the Destiny Board.
Camille Bonoira will get the nod for the role of Molly Jones, who sounds strangely a lot like Teenage Monster from SS Season 31.
And yes, please send me the other background characters/toys. Might as well make it a clean sweep and be as complete as possible.
There are a few of these that I've got my evil eyes on in terms of naming or at least knowing their names. There's a robot character other than Bleep who shows up in the first song and sounds to be voiced by Steve Whitmire. There's a character that sounds like Jim Henson who asks what's going on down there, and the rest respond "It's Christmas!" There's a character with an Australian accent who says "Toys can be very pretty like she is" pointing to Best-Dressed Mandi. And there's another sort of car-related character other than Cruiser who shows up in the first segment too, whose voice also sounds like Jerry Nelson.
Any and all help with finishing off these extra characters will be appreciated.
Thanks and have a great weekend.

I'll get a list of the rest of the cast whenever I can, but there's a few questions I can answer you about.

1. The robot voiced by Steve Whitmire is also Bleep, but why his voice is different I don't know.

2. The Henson-voiced character that asks what's going on is the Jack-In-The-Box.

3. The Muppet who refers to Best-Dressed Mandi in the opening song is the leader of the Motorcycle Gang (in other words, the only one with a moving mouth).

4. If the "car-related" character you're referring to says "Get off the track, Jack!" and "Cut the rap, sap!", that's also the leader of the Motorcycle Gang.

 

[The Count]

Thank you so very much MuppetDude. At least I know we can get this solved yet. That's a big "Yes" to all four of the characters you asked about in answering my questions.
Wouldn't know why Bleep was voiced by Steve in the intro song and then by Rob Mills for the rest of the special, but he's already added.
The Jack-In-The-Box was already added after your last post.
The Motorcycle Gang was also added after your last post, and those are both incidents I was refering to at the beginning of the special indeed.
Looking forward to the rest of the cast list you put together to finalize TCT, and have a good day.
