Though in my opinion on it, I think the golden rule in Muppet Movies is that the characters play even more fictional versions of themselves. For example I remember hearing that when Dave Golez and Gonzo were somewhere probably Barns and Noble or something Gonzo admitted that he wasn't an alien and Muppets From Space was only a movie. In this case I remember the gossip battle that Kermit and Miss Piggy had over the Muppets Take Manhattan debate where Kermit mentions that it's only a movie. Though technically Gonzo was suppose to play the minister. It's still mysterious if this was just a part of Manhattan Melodies within the movie plot or an actual behind the scenes error purposely caused by Miss Piggy herself. lol Kind of taking her old plan from The Wedding Sketch that was in a Season 3 episode, can't remember which episode off hand and putting it in a bigger place. If you first can't succeed, try try again. lol
Wasn't there going to be a link to the Muppets Take Manhattan in the new Muppet movie but the deleted scene got lost or just never made it to the blu-ray? Kermit would probably defend it as being only a movie and Miss Piggy would defend that she got a real minister. But that's the fun thing about the gossip that I love, the whole tug of war between truths. It's a Muppet conspiracy. lol
But yeah, I wasn't sure if it was me that noticed the new change of Kermit and Miss Piggy officially being a romantic couple. The first time I noticed this was when watching a Muppet video podcast on iTunes and it was a Valentine's message with Kermit and Miss Piggy. Though all I can really say is I can only speak on the behalf of the classic Muppets. I mostly stick to the classic stuff and the Muppets Tonight era of The Muppets. The new movie is okay, I like "Life's a Happy Song", I sing that every single time I'm in the best of moods. It's like a "Together Again" sort of melody. Though of some of the current stuff that recently happened like the Queen music video, the Mahna Mahna remake with what's his name, CLow? I don't know, I just don't dig some of the new stuff and new changes but that's just me. It's nothing personal but in my own opinion, it's just not the same.
Anyway to get back to chatting about Kermit in general, I'm not sure if I mentioned this on the forum or not but remember the Vincent Price episode where Kermit grew fangs and bit Vincent in the neck. lol Around Halloween, there was a Kermit hat at Wal-Mart. Kermit with fangs and I thought that was strange and I showed it to a friend of mine while I was there. And I told him the last time I've seen Kermit with fangs was the Vincent Price episode and perhaps I was the only one there who knew that. lol
Anyway, I probably posted this clip a couple times on the forum and I'm sure most have already seen this but this footage really means a lot to me and since we're talking about our appreciation of our favorite little green buddy here, I might as well.
It's been said that Muppet Vision 3D was Jim's last works though from research I found out it was really The Muppets at Disney World. Through out history Jim and his crew LOVED to goof around at work, they had a lot of fun and I really admire that about them. Same goes with the original animation directors of the old classic Looney Tunes at Termite Terrace. But unfortunately it's very rare to see blooper reels of Jim and the original Muppet performers unlike today where a lot of them are saved. So this blooper reel has a special place in my heart and I'd like to share with with everyone. Plus I think Kermit finally succeed in his Karate Chop towards Miss Piggy that he's been practicing since the Linda Ronstadt episode. lol
