The only movie where Kevin was credited as a principle performer was Muppet Treasure Island (and I guess Elmo in Grouchland).

Kevin performed Clifford MuppetFest back in 2001 as well. Also Clifford isn't seen in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, but only a photo can be seen of him backstage.

i often wonder if maybe Clifford had a shot in the Muppet group shot when Kermit was telling them all about defering their paychecks, if maybe it the movie seen in widescreen? i don't know maybe not..just a thought, lol there's some other deleted parts of that movie that we still never got to see such as Sal dressed in drag in the night club and Fozzie having a joke about cream pies. bits of both can be seen in making of the movie Pepe feature on the DVD. It was good to see Cliffored even thought it was brief in the muppets Wizard of Oz, as the last time he was seen was at MuppetFest.

That was actulay the last time Dr. Phil Van Nutuer was seen as well other then his Family Fued aprerance. I miss him! well at least we got action figures of both characters.....won't mention Bobo,Sal, Bean, or Foo foo...whoops already did.:wink: sorry off topic. But I've grown to like clifford more over the years.

Clifford is one of my favorite characters! He's totally awesome!

Ya know, it's funny. I really like Clifford a lot too. He's cool and besides Kermit, the only normal one in the gang. However, I didn't like him hosting Muppets Tonight. I guess in a way it could be similar reasons to why people don't like Elmo as much (Ha! both KC characters). I felt he took over Kermit's job and so many new characters came out and we didn't see as much of the old favorites. I guess that could also be why I didn't enjoy that show so much. I got over it later on of course and I like him. I like him when he doesn't upstage the frog. I love Pepe and Sal too. So I learned to like him.:smile:

At first I didn't care for Clifford. He was host of Muppets Tonight and I thought he wasn't that good of a character. But later on he grew on me. it was weird not seeing him in the Christmas movie back in 2002 with the rest of the muppet gang. He should have been in there, but maybe he has a religious holiday or something he celebrates like quanza. Clifford is better as a secondary character and not a primary character like he was on Mupets Tonight.

I still think it was odd he appeared with the rest of the Electric Mayhem in the Walt Disney World special though....Lips comes back to us!!!

Kermit called him "Catfish-faced". Like Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Crazy Harry, George, and J. P. Grosse, Clifford's meant to be a humanoid muppet.

I think I remeber seeing him in MCJH, though it was a really long time ago. He was walking around backstage in the theater trying to get Fozzie to calm down about something, wasn't he?
Clifford actually has a fairly major role in "The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson". He read one of the letters towards the end and did some other stuff too.
