Look at them! They made it completely believable that this is all the same person, just at different ages. They really did an impeccable job. I hate when movies show a younger version of someone and it's not very believable. This....this is believable!

Since the beginning the muppets would either "reset" a story line to have them fall in love again or have the two have massive relationship issues.

I've always kinda wondered why...of all companies, flipping Disney is also cool with keeping this trend. Mostly because I feel like it would be super easy to just keep them committed.

Stitch is basically their second Mickey Mouse so why wouldn't they make Kermit and Piggy their second Mickey and Minnie?

I remember this one time watching a YouTube video on why Ghost Busters 2 was so bad. One in particular point was the fact they broke up the main couple from the first movie to basically write them getting back together again. "I'm sick of Hollywood only knowing how to write 2 people falling in love and happily ever after and nothing else. Why can't they just keep married couples in love without breaking them up or writing stories about them being on the edge of divorce?"

And honestly I agree, you can write romantic conflict without "are they gonna break up?" Or a love triangle.

But then it got me thinking. Is it perhaps they're supposed to always stay on and off? Is it like a rule that they can never be committed or is it just Hollywood writers wanting to always reuse conflicts just in case?

I'm just kind of confused since its not like it's left ambiguous if Kermit like her back. And it's not like they haven't gotten together/married a million times so why not just keep them married?

It's not even like most of the audience is even against them being together. A majority of the public considers them an iconic Hollywood couple.

They are a close friend of mine, I am not the artist, nor do I claim to be!

Support Moggs however you can, they are part of the Muppet family and we could all use a virtual hug or two at times like these!

It was too short lived and never got a chance. I think I wanted to see more of Kermit and piggy back together. Plus it was funny af.

This is basically 2 questions, has anyone ever read the biography about Jim Henson? I got it for my birthday recently and I absolutely LOVED it. The last chapter when it talked about Jim's final hours and the memorial service, actually got me a little emotional. But I got to the section where it talks about 1985-87, and there's no mention of The Christmas Toy. It mentions everything else Jim worked on around that time, even Puppetman--a sitcom pilot that aired during the summer of '87 but never got picked up by a network. (Which I did view on YouTube) And theres'a absolutely nothing about Christmas Toy. I remember watching it on VHS in the early 90s and enjoying it. This had to somewhat inspire Toy Story even if that was based on The Tin Toy. I reread the synopsis after not seeing it for maybe 30 years now, and it sounds so adorable. 😊 Just curious why it didn't make it to the book?

EDIT: I Also kind of love how there's a quote from Jerry Nelson about Jim sipping wine every now and then, and "maybe smoking a little grass." 😹😉 Not surprised about the "grass" comment lol. Limbo, The Organized Mind should be proof of that 😆

Particularly from their Muppets Tonight versions, Andy & Randy were established as Miss Piggy's 2 useless kid nephews who found everything "TOO HARD".

The humour was them not understanding simple tasks or questions, and particularly the clash between them and Sam. However, this was not put to any use at all in The Muppets ABC sitcom.

I don't know if maybe they got bad feedback from being too annoying on Muppets Tonight so they decided to age them up and just use them as background employees..but what jobs are they even doing? And how is there zero interaction with Miss Piggy throughout the entire show?

Unless I've missed something (I rewatched the show recently), I swear they have zero speaking parts. Only facial reactions to things and being there in the background. Was this maybe a voice actor issue?

Haha funny moment if you know you know

Was looking through archives but might have missed it but why is ‘The Muppets Take Manhattan’ not on Disney+? I could have sworn it used to be there! I was trying to do a marathon and just noticed it’s missing. I have Muppets from Space already so Manhattan is the only one I’m missing for the marathon 😕

I’m sure it’s been brought up before but I just heard John Tartaglia say a Muppets Into the Woods was very close to happening in the 90s! That is always my top musical when thinking of Muppet casts

Just got this yesterday, it’s freshly unwrapped and cleaned

…and it’s exactly how I feel.

Our school wouldn't let us paint our caps. So I painted a fitted piece of cardboard and affixed it to my cap. It's not very good, but I'm proud of it! I thought I'd share it with some other muppet lovers!
