Throughout the 1980s, Jim Henson worked on behind-the-scenes specials for many of his productions (TMS, FR, TDC, L), and there were also behind-the-scenes books for his productions, but I wonder why he never worked on any behind-the-scenes specials for the first three Muppet movies, or even approve opf any behind-the-scenes books (the closest we got was The Art of The Great Muppet Caper, but that was behind-the-sceens from the Muppets point of view). The movies all had special effects that should have been caught on film, or explained in print. I don't know if it's a case of Jim Henson not thinking to have such behind-the-sceens specials produced, or if he just wasn't interested, or if the networks just didn't want to broadcast a behind-the-scenes special for the Muppets (I've read that a lot of people expected TMM to fail). I have a feeling that no behind-the-sceens fotage was even shot (but if behind-the-sceens footage was shot, and still exists, then Disney should put together anniversary editions of the movies on DVDs, with this footage).
