What I've wondered for some time now is how he's able to always be around to introduce to the audience the show they're about to see, even those that otherwise little concern him (i.e., why would narrating them be impotant to him?) As I see it, most of these seem to happen around his swamp (but could this be an entirely different swamp ffrom the official Swamp in Orlando), and thus he either hitches along as part of the story (Cinderella, Frog Prince) or could follow behind and observe (Musicians of Bremen).
For Emmet Otter, it's strongly implied he knows Doc Bullfrog and spends Christmas with him, through which he observed the talent show (although there's definitely no Kermit puppet visible watching the show, unless I'm not looking hard enough) and Doc's hiring of them afterwards (even with his full-fledged scene removed, there seems to be a Kermit-like silhouette on the far left window just as the Otters begin their dual song for hte first time. At any rate, Kermit would then find the tale of how they got there interesting and decide to go public with it (so under this logic, his biking up could have been "filmed" so to speak, up to 9 months or so later, and the Riverbottom Ganag luckily showed up.
With the Christmas Toy it's clear he lives on the same block as the Joneses and knows them quite well. I'm guessing that at one point he was leaning against the toy room door when no one else was around and heard them all come to live, convinced them not to panic when he came in, interested, and got the whole stole off them (explaining how he knows the characters when they're hibernating on him at the beginning). Now knowing the intricities of toy life, he waited for something big to tell a story about, got it when the Jones's bought Meteora (so preumably they shop together sometimes on the holidays), and poistioned himself on the roof come Christmas Eve to record everything
Do you think my hunches have merit? And did I miss anything?
