Unofficial Script Review of the New Muppet Movie

[beaker]

I suppose Johnny Fiama is so close to my heart because of my heavy involvement in his action figure. We got his likeness down so good that it was one of Palisades' best (if I do say so myself). However, I understand why you don't like him. To me he is the Fozzie Bear of lounge singers. To you he's an ethnic stereotype. I think he's transcended that for the most part, but sometimes the writers keep "dragging him back in!" I had to say that. He he.

People can say every Muppet is an "ethnic" stereotype. "Clifford is too sterotypically black". "Statler and Waldorf are a stereotype of golden year white guys", etc.

I agree Johnny Fiama is one of those who has in my mind endured the post Muppets Tonight era(unlike...say bubbles and poodlepants) I'm glad you had so much involvement in the Fiama figure. It's just a shame Sal never got made.

But Jim/Frank/Jerry/etc's main characters have never left the spotlight. Pepe is the only post JH character who has been feature prominently; and he compliments them. He's not like Elmo, who has taken over the street'.

Well I would argue the Muppets in general have somewhat left the spotlight, unfortunately. But I agree Pepe has not taken over the show (as I said earlier).

Again I'm not against harmless stereotypes per se. Just that the Italians ones can get very nasty and are rarely commented on (while other stereotypes are frowned upon).

People hate Elmo because since 1996 it's been a sickening over saturation. My goodness, could you imagine if Telly was given even a 20th the time/merch/love Elmo is given? There's times where I just pretend Elmo isn't even part of Sesame/Muppet canon. Im glad for how much money he's brought into Sesame workshop, and for how much success he's brought to such an insanely talented performer as Kevin Clash. But goodness gracious, Elmo has just been way too nauseatingly ubiquitous for well over a decade.

I don't feal that way.

I did want to point out, that thing about Animal in anger management rehab sounds like something right out of Family Guy or Robot Chicken (in a good way) Lol.

Hmmm. Sounds "Ok" but, I bet Disney calls in ghost writers to punch it up.

I have a couple of suggestions of ghosts they should call in!

I agree, there has been too little Kermie/Piggy love lately . It will be nice to see more of it back . I guess LTS was a good snapshot into how they are getting along now :3

 

[Muppetfan44]

I totally agree. If LTS is an indication of what is to come from the Kermit/Piggy dynamic, I couldn't be happier!
