Could it be because Blind Pew is a character from the books while Spa'am is not? I mean I don't really no much about public domain and copy right laws and what not but I wonder if that could be the reason.
Well, the book does have the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. And it also has the Cracthet Children, though aside from Tiny Tim are the other kids named in the original book?
This book mentions what happened to a number of characters who haven't been seen in a long time. Considering that, I'm surprised that the book doesn't give any explanation as to why Seymour and Pepe broke up their act. There's been a number of occasions over the years when Pepe said what happened to Seymour, and he's also said that they are still friends but Seymour can't fit into the clubs Pepe goes to (of course it's rare for Pepe to be shown at any clubs).
Some people are speculating that all of the characters in the book will appear in Muppets Most Wanted, but then again, the book does mention that some characters retired. I doubt those characters will be in the movie.I know that Craig Shemin got to look at a copy of the script when writing it, so maybe some of those "retired" characters will show up in the movie but not a big enough role to be noted in the script. But then if Shemin doesn't know that the "retired" ones show up then it can't just be characters who'll be in the next movie...
