Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

Great answers! Thanks for doing that!

Oh, a Pinky and the Brain/Animaniacs panel for the new DVDs! Awesome! And it starts at 4? I'll just be getting out of a panel, so I'll be able to make it! At 2-3:30 is a WB panel that's going to feature a trailer for the new Ninja Turtles movie and director, Kevin Munroe, is going to be there. My friends and I HAVE to see it! And then comes the other panel with you and the others. I've known Rob, Mo and Jess for several years, but I'm really looking forward to meeting you, Peter Hastings, Gordon Bressack, and Andrea Romano! Can't believe Preview Night is ONE week away!

I loved reading this as well. It's the little things, behind the scenes, that make the movie more exciting to watch each time.

Thanks!

Thanks for slogging through the whole thread! At times it's gotten a bit off topic, but there is still plenty of good information in it.

!!!!!!!

Dude that is such an awesome story and i cant BELIVE that u knew Jim Henson HOLY CRAP THIS IS AMAZING!!

Hey, WOE. Did Guy appear in the end fanally?

I'm not Was Once Ernie, but yes, Guy Smiley was in the finally.

Minor muppetz is correct. He's definitely there... just hard to see.

WOE, would you be able to give a list of which Sesame Street Muppets appeared in the Muppet Movie finale?

I don't think he's very hard to see. I first noticed that Sesame Street characters were in that scene when I was in the third grade, and I saw Guy Smiley there when I first noticed Sesame Street characters in the finale (Ernie and Bert were the first oens that I ever noticed in that scene... hey, what'ya know... your performance was the first seasame street performance in the finale I noticed.... anyway, when I first noticed that there were Sesame Street characters in that scene, I noticed Ernie, Bert, Guy Smiley, Grover, The Two-Headed Monster, and Big Bird. I noticed other characters, such as Cookie Monster, later on.

i know there NOT SS Muppets but i did finelly spot Emmet Otter and the Jug-Bang gang characters are in the finale! I'm sure MOST of you know that by now tho! hehe

Oh gosh...I just now found this thread, but it was definitely worth the read-through.

Earl, "WOE", thank you very much for sharing all of your memories, tidbits, and information here with us. It's all a terrific treasure to read.

As someone whose favorite "Muppet Show" (and Muppet movies) character is Janice, I loved seeing your little passing mention of her when you said in the "Muppet Movie" finale that Richard Hunt said Statler and Janice were his two hardest puppets to get on. That's very interesting.

Thanks again for being so generous to come here and share these wonderful memories with us. As you've seen over seven pages (and elsewhere on the forum), we all truly appreciate it.

Byron!!

Long time no write, my friend! How've you been?

Lol, howdy Tom!

I've been around a bit...I've commented a few Fraggle and Classic Muppets threads, and over the last several months I've put up Mokey screencaps on Muppet Central "Mokey Mondays" from the season 1 set. Been workin' 2 jobs since January and workin' on getting my writing career off the ground...keepin' busy! lol Good to see you too man!

Yep...and I just hope Earl sees my message. I had no idea this had started so long ago!

David Goelz was not puppeteering Beauregaurd. He was doing both Gonzo and Camilla. Jerry I believe was puppeteering both Robin and Crazy Harry.
You can tell Dave was puppeteering Gonzo and Camilla by the way they both move there heads, exactly the same time.

That is sooooo cool


Do you still keep in touch with any of the other performers from the end?

*gasp* He abandoned a huge player like Beauregard for that bit part tiny man Gonzo? Wait...that was back to front...ignore me.

In that scene, Gonzo, Beauregard, and Zoot were all standing next to each other. Gonzo and Camilla could have been performed by the same person, but how do we know that Dave Goelz didn't perform Beauregard and Zoot?
