Rats cooking breakfast

[Xerus]

I thought one of the most neat moments of The Muppets Take Manhattan, was where the Muppet Rats were cooking breakfast in the diner, while Rizzo sang this cool scat song.

I heard this was one of the most complicated scenes they had to shoot in the movie. I can imagine with stuff like Chester peddling on an egg beater and Masterson skating on a hot grill with butter on his feet.

That was real butter.

Of all the stroyboarded scenes I've ever seen of the muppets, I think that one is my favorite. The intricacy of the movement of both cameras and characters is brilliant and the resulting scene came off so beautifully. I have been know to just pop in that one number at the end of a bad day. Works every time.

That is definately a puppet eye-popper,indeed. Also, the bicycle scene in TGMC comes to mind too,having Piggy & Kermit do a figure 8.
