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.
1. The Butler WAS Jerry Nelson in a costume and a wig. Not a puppet.
2. The Puppet used for Angel Marie was the same puppet used as Begoony. I'am sorry but I can't help you with a describtion, because my VCR broke down yesterday.

Thanks for your help, MuppetDK! The changes will be saved on my personal diskette as you've noted:
Angel Marie (TMS Movie, Begonny from MTI)
Squire Trelawney's Butler (TMS Movie, from MTI, Jerry Nelson)

But there's still two unknown characters from the movie that puzzle me.
1 In the pirates' musical number, Blind Pew says that he could've been a surgeon; Polly Lobster says that he could've been a lawyer; Clueless Morgan says that he could've been a politician... but what's the name of the character who sounds like Marlon Brando and says that he could've been a contender?
2 Just before the big "Cabin Fever" musical number begins, who's the live actor character that says he's got cabin fever and thus starts up the musical number?
Thanks for your help and have a good day.

Big, Fat, Ugly, Bug-faced, Baby-Eating O'Brien was a girl :wink:

can't say anything about the human actors.

One of the pirates was Wall-Eyed Pike (I don't if thats right, he's the one who says "but Dead Tom's always been dead.. that's why he's called Dead Tom")

oh yeah, the pirate who said "And me, I could've been a contender" was Black eyed Pea.

hope that helps :big_grin:

Yes, thanks, that does help. Now all that needs to be answered is who was the character that said he had "cabin fever" thus starting off the whole musical number.

Oh, and Wall Eyed Pike will be added to the list. Thanks and have a good day.

Calico Jerry said Capin Fever, that I am quite, quite sure of.

IN a perfectly nice way, are you blind? I seem to remeber you saying that you were at one point, if so that would explain why you need to know all this, to you have to tell the Muppets by voice recognition?

Gotta clear up some things here as well.
Beauregard...
1 Thanks for answering my question. Now everything from MTI's squared away and I can go ahead and add the numbering to the twenty-two characters I took from the movie.
2 Yes, if you read my profile here at Muppet Central, you'll find that I'm indeed blind. Or at least, I'm registered as legally blind cause I still have some sight left, though not enough to discern what's happening on a TV screen nor any pictures nor images on a computer screen.
3 Before you ask as to how I created my avatar then, that was done by fellow forum member Justin Faulknor. The guy's great in dealing with Muppet movies and episodes, we're currently working out a massive deal for copies for my own customizing collection.
4 Yes, I recognize the characters by voice now a days, but I still have my memories of when I had better sight of what the majority of the main characters look like. The newer characters are the ones I have to ask help for, and any other Muppet merchandise that interests me hence the thankful descript of the Muppet Monopoly game on another thread buried here at the forums.
Hope this helps and have a good day.
