is a list of which muppeteers performed which characters in the finale in the Muppet Movie? I know that Jim performed Kermit, Frank performed Piggy, film director John Landis performed Grover, Michael Earl performed Big Bird (which I find unusual because when BB is involved even for the shortest time, Carroll Spinney will usually perform him.), and I know two people on this forum were involved in the production, but who else was involved? Like who played Rowlf? Who played Statler and Wardolf? Who played Animal? Who played Fozzie? I could go on forever!...lol.

Was Once Ernie and Tim were involved in the production. Was Once Ernie was, of course, Ernie. I believe Tim was both Little Bird and Momma Twiddle Bug.

They posted their stories about the production on the Classic Muppets board, their set as stickies. Check them out! They're both great and interesting reads!

I think you misunderstood me. I meant that Was Once Ernie, played Ernie ONLY during the finale of The Muppet Movie, becuase Jim Henson, who DID play Ernie, was performing Kermit.

I heard it said that Tim Burton was also involved. They never said who he played though.
