Question about Muppets Take Manhattan

[Janson]

In the Muppets Take Manhattan when the Muppet babies sing the "I'm Gonna Always Love You", I reconized the song. It is a spoof correct? If so, what is the orginal songs name?

Was it? I didn't notice but I notice it pay homage to Muppet Babies with the exact same room the muppets babies were always in...

I believe MTM came out at the time of, or before, Muppet Babies. I don't think the song was a parody though. The muppets don't do parodies in their movies. I would like to know where Skeeter came from and what happened to her.

The official "explanation" of Skeeter's mysterious disappearance was that she didn't go into show biz with the rest of her friends and became an explorer, trekking through the Amazon.

However, I wrote her in one of my TMS outlines (special guest Sting, coincidentally) where she returns, and she's become a cynical, artistic sort. (long hair, black leather jacket, etc.) It doesn't take her long to develop a crush on Zoot, either. I could easily see her performed by Karen Prell or Fran Brill.

Sample dialogue:

Scooter: "You like ZOOT?!"

Skeeter: "Yeah! There's more to him than what you see. He's very deep and poetic. The words he speaks make me shiver."

Zoot: "Huh?"

Skeeter: *faints*

There's plenty to explore on this world. Maybe there aren't any new continets, but there are remote plces to research and stuff. But back to Skeeter. I don't get why they added Skeeter for Muppet Babies. Was it to add another female charcter? And if so, why didn't they just have Janice as part of the group?

 

[Salmoto]

Well, they did have Janice as a special guest Muppet Baby in the final season. The same season Bean Bunny also began appearing on the show. Baby Janice was still a little older than the core group, which is eerie, cause however old Piggy is now, Janice is still older.

Muppet Babies Season run was from 1984-1991

Muppets Take Manhatten was made in 1984. So my guess is that they use that to promote the series somewhat... That just my speculation though....

i think i heard somewhere that they wanted another female character in the group so they added skeeter so piggy wouldn't be the only girl in the group...
