Greetings again from the Count! Got a few questions about Muppet Treasure Island.

1 When Jim Hawkings and his friends go to see Squire Trelawney, the bear introduces them to Bunsen and Beaker's characters in the movie. Bunsen's character is named, and I hope I'm spelling this right, "Dr. Livsay" Is this the correct spelling of Bunsen's character from MTI? If not, then how is his character's name correctly spelled?

2 Here's the grouping of characters I got, and I'd appreciate it if there's anybody missing that you think I should include in my Muppet Listings.
Old Tom
Real Old Tom
Dead Tom
Angel Marie
Big Fat Ugly BugFaced BabyEating O'Brian
Black Dog
Black Eyed Pea
Calico Jerry
Captain Billy Bones
Captain Flint
Easy Pete
Figurehead #1 (Statler)
Figurehead #2 (Waldorf)
Headless Bill
Long John Silver
Master Jim Hawkins
Mrs. Bluberidge
One Eyed Jack
Short Stack Stevens
Squire Trelawney's Butler (Carter
Squire Trelawney (Fozzie Bear)
Mr. Samuel Arrow (Sam the Eagle)
Captain Abraham Smollet (Kermit The Frog)
Benjamina Gunn (Miss Piggy)
Flaubert the Anteater
Spa'am

Thanks for your help and have a good night.

Thanks to Mr. Penguin for correcting the spelling on the name of Bunsen's character from MTI.
MustangRockstar, you say that Big Fat Ugly BugFaced BabyEating O'brian was a human character? Well then, what's the name of the actor who performed him to help correct my entry?
Thanks for your help and have a good day.

Was wondering if anyone would point that out. Yes, Sarah, when writing up the list of characters I got from after watching the movie I forgot about the main four pirates: Polly Lobster, Clueless Morgan, Blind Pew, and Mad Monty. But you can rest assure that should you go and check out the thread I posted "Muppet Listings Version 7.0" you'll find them there in their proper places. Just wrote this list to see if there was someone else I was missing, but I don't think there is. Now if you could, please go and check out the "Question about Muppet Christmas Caroll" thread and answer the latest post I made there if you can.
Thanks for your help and have a good night.

Big Fat Ugly BugFaced BabyEating O'Brian

I always thought it was

Big Fat Ugly Bug Faced Baby Digit O'Brain. Are you sure it is Baby Eating O'Brian?

Yes, Beauregard, I'm sure the character's name is "Big Fat Ugly BugFaced BabyEating O'Brian" and it seems that MustangRockstar agrees with me as to that being the character's full name. For further proof, I rented the movie on Wednesday night for the specific purpose of researching for any characters that might've been left out of imdb.com's cast listings for the movie. And I paid particular attention when Mr. Samuel Arrow reads off the crew's names from his list during roll call and the name he said in the movie was "Big Fat Ugly BugFaced BabyEating O'Brian." Hope this helps and have a good day.

PS: If you know who portrayed this character, please post it here.

I noticed that you have listed Squire Trelawney's Butler as Carter. The butler are played by Jerry Nelson himself.

Angel Marie (Begoony from FR)

MuppetDK, a few questions.

1 What do you mean when you say that Squire Trelawney's Butler was played by Jerry Nelson? Was it Jerry Nelson himself in costume? Or do you mean that it was a puppet controlled and/or voiced by Jerry Nelson?
2 What do you mean when you say that Angel Marie was a new sort of version of or played by Begoony from FR? If you can, please describe what Angel Marie looked like to know what you're talking about.
Thanks for your help and have a good day.
