And that's a wrap on the muppets for now on the channel! I will be trying to watch the Muppets Christmas Carol on Christmas but for now, this is the end! And what an ending as well. Seeing the wedding, all the muppets, it all felt like a whole send off to Jim Henson himself.
Thanks for watching! Have a great day! :)
"Defunctland" on youtube did a beautiful 6 part tribute / History of Henson and the Muppets. I can't recommend it highly enough. You will cry... more than once.
There's always 'Follow that Bird'

The Muppets (2015)
Oh no. you have to at least watch Muppets From Space.
This was the end, for almost a decade, for my childhood, and a nice ending to the series. I saw these original three in theaters, and I must say I think they are underrated as a film trilogy. After the Jim Henson era they do not feel the same to me so I am satisfied with just these three (and of course the original Muppet Show on TV!)
Yes, Jim Henson in 1984 WANTED this to be the “ending” for Kermit & co.: He felt the Show characters were holding him back, and wanted Labyrinth to sell the new Creature Shop FX department, so he brought in the Muppet Babies to continue the characters on Saturday morning, and wrote the Endgame plot for the Show-verse. Unfortunately, Labyrinth’s box office spoiled plans, so Kermit was soon going around afterwards saying “Oh, well, all that wedding stuff was just a movie, y’know…. 🐸”
Yeah, the Kermit/Piggy wedding is similar to the Mickey/Minnie relationship. The official position is that they are actors putting on a production and they are not married. But if you're that invested in a puppet relationship (or cartoon relationship in the case of Mickey and Minnie) maybe it doesn't really matter to you what the "official" position is.
Actually, to clarify, I meant to say similar in concept, in that they're actors, but opposite regarding marital status, as Mickey and Minnie are considered married in "real life."
@@RyanPeterson23interestingly, the voice actors who voiced Mickey and Minnie from the 1980s until the 2000s, Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor, were married from 1991 until Allwine's death in 2009.
Jim Henson thought Labyrinth was gonna be his " home run". He got REALLY depressed when it bombed at the box office!
The original Muppet Babies, can't believe I have to point out this because of some remakes, it was a very successful Saturday morning cartoon, it lasted like 8 years. It was a very interesting cartoon because it inserts scenes from movies into the show and the characters will play act in those worlds, like the original Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark even TV shows like Beauty & the Beast, so you get a time-capsule of what was popular from around the mid-'80s to the early '90s.
Unfortunate that we'll never get a full official release because of all the copywrite issues.
"I'm staying! You hear that, New York? THE FROG IS STAYING!"
Fun Fact: First appearance of the Muppet Babies (1984) characters, whose cartoon premiered two months after the film's release.
Legendary Sardi's Fact: The portrait of Kermit in his producer's disguise has become a permanent fixture at the real Sardi's and can be seen in other movies filmed there after this movie.
Star Trek Connection Fact: Film debut of Gates McFadden, playing Mr. Price's secretary. McFadden worked with Jim Henson as a choreographer and puppeteer on The Dark Crystal (1982) and Labyrinth (1986), but is best known as Dr. Beverly Crusher of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987).
Hot Take Fact: After several less-than-satisfying takes of the scene between Joan Rivers and Miss Piggy, director/performer Frank Oz sent a stagehand to get him and Rivers two gin & tonics a piece. The two chatted and imbibed their drinks before filming one more take, which appears in the final film.
This was the first Muppet movie I ever saw as a kid and besides Sesame Street, this was my true introduction to The Muppets
I will never tire of the pure joy you experience when watching films/TV. Particularly with the Muppets movies. And they move you emotionally, which is awesome, too. Yeah, you missed most of the cameos. LOL. One appearance i'm surprised you didn't notice was Gates McFadden. It was not a cameo, because she was not famous at the time. But she played Dr. Crusher on Star Trek the Next Generation. She played the secretary in the very beginning of the film.
Janice, who was based on Joni Mitchell, is probably my favorite character in the Muppet universe and has my favorite line in this film, “I’ll trade with anyone who has a jacuzzi”.
“Look buddy, I don’t take my clothes off for anyone, even if it is ‘artistic’.”
19:17 This movie came out about a year before the premiere of The Muppet Babies, a long running Saturday morning cartoon. The character designs were certainly based upon this upcoming music video. There’s something so sublime about this video. It’s like Miss Piggy knows she will always be with Kermit, and yet they’re children. She’ll do anything, amazing accomplishments, motivated to be with him.
No they both came out the same year
You should watch A Muppet Family Christmas. That also has all of Jim Henson's creations as well, including the Fraggles.
Yes. You need to watch this. You just need to watch it on RUclips. Due to rights issues with some of the songs the official releases cut out a lot, including the Muppet Babies portion, and possibly the Fraggles.
You have no idea how many kids grew up with The Muppets and needed to see Kermit & Piggy married. Kids cheered.
The guy who is the restaurant owner, he comes out in Fiddler on the Roof, another great movie. He's not a main character in that film, but he does come out in that movie.
Right as the police officer, fiddler is an incredible movie. Highly recommend
Thanks for that info. I was actually just rewatching Fiddler last night and I never realized that the Constable was the same actor who played Pete.
@@rocketdave719 It's his accent in the Muppets Take Manhattan that throws us off.
I remember him best as Paul's dad, Burt Buchman, in "Mad About You"
@@Drawkcabi Oh, that's right. I used to watch Mad About You. I'm a little surprised I've seen him in these various things and failed to notice that it was the same guy.
When I was a kid, I always enjoyed this one more than the other Muppet films!
Me too. We had this one recorded, and I watched it a lot. So many great songs!
You missed a cameo you ought to have caught at 4:44
Gates McFadden, the doctor on Star Trek TNG.
As penance, I recommend adding Muppets From Space to the end of your Star Trek series.
agreed, can't believe he didn't catch that
Actually, Follow That Bird was the last movie Jim Henson played Kermit. But overall, his last performance as him was in “The Muppet At Walt Disney World”. They’ve got to put that on DVD and Disney+. It’d be a crime not too.
Your Keith Haring shirt was the perfect selection since he was becoming a famous New York artist at the time of this movie’s release.
The secretary of the 1st producer (con man) was none other than Dr Beverly Crusher. I think she's credited as Cheryl McFadden, instead of Gates
As a dancer she's Cheryl, as an actress she's gates
Born in 1975, I’ve grown up with Jim Henson’s muppet characters my whole life. My enjoyment of his work has never died, not one ounce! To me, he was a pure genius. I’m blessed to have a lifetime filled with the joy he brought to the world and so happy it lives on with young people like yourself still enjoying it now. Thank you for a great reaction 😊
IMDb ratings are skewed for many older movies because a lot of people don’t go back to rate movies they saw pre-IMDb days. I think you’d see a higher rating if it was a movie being released more recently.
Jefferey Scott, grandson of Moe Howard of the Three Stooges, would write the whole first season of Muppet Babies. I wrote to him and he replied back a few times. He also wrote a number of episodes from the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon and that's why I wrote to him to ask him about that cartoon. I also asked him which of the Stooges was his favorite and he said his favorite was Curly.
Apparently my thoughts on Dr. Crusher and Miss Piggy in the same room have evolved since I was a child.
For me this is THE quintessential Muppet movie. I connect to the grounded tone, humor, and songs more than the other Muppet movies. Scaling it down to Kermit and a waitress trying to sell his script only make moments like an entire church full of Muppets even more epic. And the Muppet Babies sequence is just icing on the cake. Best Muppet movie!
Fun fact: the "saying goodbye" song got the #11 song on the Nostalgia Critic's Top 11 Saddest Nostalgic Moments list.
To be fair, that might not sound that great an achievement, but keep in mind that that list also contains death scenes, such as those of Little Foot's mom, Bambi's mom, Mufasa, Mr. Spock and Charlotte the spider, so that's pretty impressive.
Elliott Gould (the police officer you recognized) had a cameo in both this movie and The Muppet Movie (He was the beauty pageant host at the fair).
The customer Rizzo asked if she'd consider inter-species dating was Brooke Shields, famous actress and Calvin Klein jeans model.
The scam artist producer was Dabney Coleman who was BIG in the 80's starring in top notch films (9 to 5, Tootsie, Wargames, Cloak & Dagger, The Man With One Red Shoe) ...usually as kind of a slimenall like he was here...but not always.
The guy in the park that Piggy "borrowed" the roller skates from was Greggory Hines, famous actor and fantastic dancer!
The person who dropped of "Shnookums" at the kennel with Rowlf was Jamss Coco, famous actor/singer/performer.
Kermit'' doctor in the hospital was Linda Lavin, famous actress and singer best known for starring as Alice in the long running sitcom of the same name.
The make-up lady with Piggy was Joan Rivers, famous comedian/actress/talk show host.
The lady who Kermit removed her picture of at Spagos was Liza Minelli, famous actress, singer, and the daughter of Judy Garland (Dorothy from The Wizard Of Oz).
When Gonzo asked the mayor if he had seen a frog that could sing and dance, that was Ed Koch, the actually mayor of NYC at that time.
At the wedding scene, you see one Muppet with a bushy mustache in a Panama Hat and khakis...that's Uncle Traveling Matt from Fraggle Rock. Fraggle Rock was Jim Henson's newest Muppet series and was just getting started at this time. Fraggles never leave their home of Fraggle Rock, an underworld system of caves and tunnels. Except for Uncle Traveling Matt, who got the itch to explore "Outer Space" (our world). So by having Matt there at the wedding the Fraggles got represented in this movie but they also kept continuity with the series. ☺
I remember the audience at the theater flipped out over the Muppet babies sequence. Kermit at the ad agency always cracked me up😅
I love that one of Rizzo's friends was named Tattooey. Rat Tattooey. Long before there was ever a Ratatouille movie, the Muppets were all over that pun. Well played, Henson. Well played.
I was today years old when I got that joke. (And I'm old enough that I saw this in theaters when it came out lol.)
I taped this off TV when I was a kid. Must've rewatched the VHS over a thousand times. My favorite of the original Muppets movies when Jim was still alive.
During a promotional interview, for this movie, on Good Morning America. Kermit confirm that this was not a real preacher or wedding.
He doubled down on it when he hosted The Tonight show.
Of course Miss Piggy found out and gave Kermit lots of bruises. 😆
I remember Kermit constantly saying , "No Comment!" when asked about the wedding by reporters
I love the first three Muppet movies. I got to see all of them in the theater when I was a little kid. I honestly don't know which is my favorite.
The Muppets Take Manhattan is so much fun! The introduction to the Muppet babies, great songs and I love the cameos. Joan Rivers plays the make up lady, Star Trek's Gates McFadden plays the secretary, Linda Lavin (TV's Alice) plays the doctor, Dabney Coleman plays the sleazy musical backer, Liza Minnelli plays herself, the great tap dancer Gregory Hines plays the jogger, The Honeymooners Art Carney plays the legitimate musical backer, Fraggle Rock's Traveling Matt is seen in the wedding scene and so many more.
The minister in the wedding scene was an actual minister.
Muppet Christmas Carol is good but I would recommend A Muppet Family Christmas. Which was done by Jim Henson
There is a commercial with the song where Kermit sings " Right where I belong ".
Oh yeah! Isn't it for Vrbo?
⚠️VERY IMPORTANT⚠️
Just another reminder, when you get around to watching The Muppet Christmas Carol, make sure you watch the “full-length” version!
Otherwise, you’ll be missing the best song of the movie, When Love Is Gone!
🥹
Trust me, you WILL cry before the song is finished!
I had the VHS with the theatrical release including the song. Why would they ever cut it out?
@@oaf-77
I heard it was a pacing issue. The creators apparently didn’t think people would like how much it slowed down the scene.
😑
Ha!
@@wattsink2009 the ending song is dependant on it thematically
Liza Minnelli came out in a number of great films. My favorite is her and Dudley Moore in Arthur 1 and 2.
Cabaret (1972)
@@oaf-77 Yes, great musical numbers, great acting in that one as well. I even like the way that one song starts off slow with that young man and it turns by the end where everyone is singing.
We still need a reaction to Arthur 1, but...seriously, did anyone actually LIKE Arthur 2?
I'm still smarting from that one. 🤕
@@ericjanssen394 Sure, I like Arthur 2. You get most of the same actors from the first movie, except for the girl that likes Arthur but Arthur doesn't love.
Technically the last movie Jim Henson played Kermit was the Sesame Street Follow that Bird film. If you haven't seen that it is worth a watch
Well "Last" as in "Movie" there are a lot of TV specials and TV movies you're only doing theatrical releases. Also TV shows and if you want to do one more movie, hit up "Follow That Bird" .The last time Jim Henson plaid Kermit was for an appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show to promote the television special The Muppets at Walt Disney World which is his last special.
Bunny picnic and muppet family Christmas I think we're both made after this
If you like Musicals...theres an awesome from the 80's called "The Pirates of Penzance" I just remember watching this a lot...haha
This was not my favorite muppet movie, but it did introduce one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid. I used to love the Muppet Babies!!! However...thanks to your reaction, I do realize this movie had more good moments than what I remembered.
Yo! The secretary of the scam artist at the beginning was Gates McFadden, or Dr. Beverly Crusher from TNG !!!!
My all time favorite of all the Muppet Movie. My list would of the top 3 movies are
3.The Muppet Movie
2. The Great Muppet Caper
1. The Muppets Take Manhattan
A little about Kermit and Miss Piggy wedding is that really Kermit has said in interviews that him and Piggy aren't really married but Piggy says they are. That's how it has mostly has been with Kermit's mind set.
This was, is, and always will be (probably) my favorite of the Muppet movies... I think the lower score is due to the ending being divisive, some people don't like it just being a musical that is mostly serious and not some goofy Muppets thing... it's the thing that cements it being my favorite of the movies.
3:57
Dabney Coleman.
You should watch 'Cloak & Dagger' (1984)
I would watch that movie all the time as a kid.
Your favorite scene features the great actor-dancer Gregory Hines as the nosy jogger.
Gates McFadden, AKA Beverly Crusher from TNG, is the receptionist.
THIS is my fav Muppet movie another childhood fav ❤
That make-up lady with Miss Piggy you probably recognize the voice because she was the voice of Dot Matrix, the gold female robot in Spaceballs.
Very popular lady, she was a talk show guest host, comedian, actress.
4:15 that celebrity is Dabney Coleman, best known as Franklin Hart from 9 to 5 !
Finding these reactions tonight has been a joy! The first and third movies are my favorites too. Muppet Caper is brilliant and I love it, but growing up with these movies as a very sensitive child, all the stuff with Piggy pretending to be Lady Holiday and then being accused of stealing the diamond upset me. Kermit having amnesia in this movie was a bit stressful, sure, but it didn't involve lying and/or not being believed, which were the things that upset me most lol. It's good to take a break here, but if you are watching Muppets Christmas Carol at Christmas, I implore you to watch Muppets From Space at some point after that. It's worth a watch, especially for a Gonzo fan.
3:47 Gates MacFadden aka Dr Beverly Crusher from Star Trek:TNG.
20:19
Brooke Shields
Totally forget she was in this
You should also watch Muppet Treasure Island. It is funny. I think it came after Muppet Christmas Carol.
i suggest these. Bless the Beast and the Children. Ring of Bright water, Born Free, Summer of 42, the Oher Side of the Mountian, Freebie and the Bean. I know you'd love all of these and would love to see your reaction to them.
Thank you, Oliver! Happy day-before-Valentine's-Day to you and your girlfriend. 💘 When you saw *Dabney* *Coleman* portraying 'Martin Price' you said you didn't recognize him... *please* watch him in the zany-yet-profound comedy 9 TO 5 (1980), it's brilliant, he's brilliant in it. ❧ Also, you recognized the voice of the 'Perfume Salesperson'... for sure, you heard *Joan* *Rivers* doing the voice of 'Dot Matrix' in SPACEBALLS (1987)! #RolyPolyOllie #FrankOz #TheMuppetsTakeManhattan
You recognized the voice of Joan Rivers (makeup counter with Miss piggy) because you saw her as the C3PO parody character in Spaceballs.
Nobody mentions Liza Minelli or Art Carney? They're Hollywood Royalty.
I just thought of a great movie you will love to review because it is soooooo funny! Noises Off, 1992. It has a lot going on, but it is a great movie!!
The main street in my hometown is also called Broadway, so when I watched this as a kid I thought that's where they were going. I think I knew they weren't real but I think I was more disappointed that it didn't look like OUR Broadway, haha. It's always the older stuff I watched as a kid that gets me, nostalgia feels are incredible.
Nostalgia really does feel incredible doesn't it! You'll have to remake this movie but use your hometown broadway instead!!
@@RolyPolyOllieReactions I'll see what u can do about getting all the puppets I need, haha.
It's December pally! Have you reacted to the Muppet Christmas Carol or A Muppet Family Christmas yet? There's also The Christmas Toy as well!
The Muppet Christmas Carol was just livestreamed as a Patreon Exclusive :) It was SO good!
Nice to see Joan Rivers :) 12:52
I remember this since I was a little girl.
The actor who played the police officer that you recognized is Elliott Gould. He was on the TV show Friends and the Oceans movies.
I never knew about him being on friends, only the MASH movie, (which was far before my time, but as it's a classic, I've seen it.)
yep. never saw friends.
He was also the beauty contest announcer in the first Muppet movie.
Dabney Coleman 1 of my fav actors from 2 other of my fav movies 9 to 5 & Modern Problems 😂
The Employee in the makeup counter did the voice of Dot from Spaceballs--Dot is the droid
Oh yeah,this movie was where we got Muppet Babies 😆 that cartoon was the tits
Yay this one was my favorite Muppet movie.
Only ever seen the Christmas Carol film (which was awesome.) Great reaction as ever Oliver - now please reaction to Shaun of the Dead 😄
This is one of my favorite Muppet movies; next to the first, it was the end of an amazing trilogy of Muppet movies. Muppet Caper was too much of a meta comedy; playing up the meta comedy of the first, but went way over board, for me. I love this one; because it was more of a story; the songs were awesome, and the Muppets were characters in this one, verses being themselves in the first movie. I also found the comedy far better than the second.
The Muppet Babies was the hardest part of this movie; Jim Henson himself, stated how difficult it was to film the babies. One of the reasons why they made a animated series out of the popularity of the babies. Muppet Babies ran for 2 seasons, and in syndication after. A great animated show. I think it's funny; you didn't like the Muppet Babies song, as it was one of the most popular parts of the movie for most, again inspiring a TV series
I know you’ve said you’re not reacting to anymore Muppets until Christmas, but it would have been cool to see a reaction to ‘The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years’, which, as the title suggests, the Muppets celebrating 30 years of Kermit and Jim Henson’s work.
3:50 You didn't recognize Dr. Crusher!!!
Gates McFadden in a cameo before she became someone who'd be a cameo in a movie like this, uh... something like that... 😕
Please consider watching the "Stars of Star Wars" episode of the Muppet Show!!! 🙏
Also, I highly highly, highly Little Shop of Horrors, another Frank Oz film and he was the perfect choice to direct this movie!
It's a musical...actually it's a feature film musical based on the Broadway musical, that was based on a 50's Sci-Fi B-movie that wasn't a musical...
Another HUGE amount of cameos in this, and this time you'll recognize a whole lot more!
(Please, nobody spoil who they are 🙏)
Other great Frank Oz films:
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (with Steve Martin)
Housesitter (With Steve Martin)
Bowfinger (With Steve Martin)
What About Bob? (With Bill Murray)
The Score (With Robert DeNiro, Edward Norton, and in his final movie...Marlon Brando!!!)
Here's to the lovers, the dreamers, and you!
Best Regards!!!
I remember when this movie came out I bugged my parents and older cousins to take me. I really wanted to go to the cinema to see it. And thankfully one of my older cousins wanted to see it, too, so she was the one I got to go see it with. McDonald’s in the US had stuffed toys of the Muppets baby forms for sale. My parents bought me the Fozzie one. I still have it! This film was followed by the Saturday morning cartoon Muppet Babies which came on CBS really early on Saturday mornings. I woke up early each Saturday to watch it! “When your room looks kinda weird and you wish that you weren’t there. Just close your eyes and make-believe and you can be anywhere….” Yeah I still know the theme song to Muppet Babies all these years later! It was also at this time that there was lots of Muppet stuff to buy. I had a Kermit the Frog toothbrush, Kermit the Frog bathroom cup, Kermit the Frog toothpaste most of the time although sometimes I had Fozzie the Bear toothpaste it just depended on what was in stores…I had Miss Piggy toothpaste once but I didn’t like the taste which was supposed to be bubblegum flavor but I didn’t think it tasted very bubblegum-ish, etc. I mean, between Muppets, Garfield, Disney, Carebears, and Star Wars themed stuff (blankets, cups, plates, toothbrushes, towels, shirts, etc) that’s basically my early childhood! My favorite Muppet Movie is Muppet Treasure Island, but I think that’s because it was released not long after I literally finished reading it in school so I think that made me biased towards it. If they made another film based on a favorite book of mine I’m pretty sure I’d claim that as my favorite Muppet film. And since it’s the Muppets I’m fine with it having changes that fits the Muppets style. I’ll admit that The Muppet Christmas Carol is definitely my favorite film version of that story (although A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong by the Mischief Theater group…or more precisely the fictional Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society is a close second favorite version of the story which I can thank friends from the UK to introducing me to it and some of their other works).
It’s been a long while since I have watched The Muppet Show, so I don’t remember if it was ever meta or broke the 4th wall. It’s on Disney+ so I might go watch some of it again. I remember that my favorite skits were the Pigs In Space skits as a kid and anything the Swedish Chef was doing. In the Muppets Now show on Disney+ the Swedish Chef’s skit and the Dr Honeydew and Beaker skit are my favorite parts of each episode….though the other skits are hilarious, too in each episode.
I completely agree about Rainbow Connection. I think that song is so popular and sticks with people because it’s not a song that feels exclusively for that film whereas the other songs in the first film and the other films definitely feel like they’re very much for the movie they’re in. Rainbow Connection is a song that you don’t need to have seen the film to enjoy because the song doesn’t need any greater context to understand the meaning. Seeing the movie helps give even more context, but the song stands on its own. The other songs in the films are like songs in a musical whereby they help move the story forward and so on.
Great reaction and commentary! I think ending your Muppets film journey here is a logical point. And I have seen the Muppets from Space film, but I don’t remember much of it so I’m not upset if you aren’t going to watch it. Though I might rewatch it on my own. It came out my freshman year of college and there was lots of things happening in my life at the time with family, school, and my job and some friends had like weekly movie nights and it was one of the films we watched, but with so much happening I don’t remember much about the film and that was the only time I watched it. I’ve definitely seen the others multiple times: in theaters, on television, or renting/streaming them so my niece could see them.
You should watch what ever happened to baby Jane it's a classic and my favorite
Oh you didn't recognise Liza Minelli, Judy Garlands daughter! You must watch Caberet with Liza!
I agree. Cabaret is a must for an Ollie-watch!
OK! Roller skates guy in red is Gregory Hines.
You MUST MUST MUST check out the BEST buddy cop movie in the 80s and ever he's in.
RUNNING SCARED also stars Billy Crystal.
You should start with the video from the movie, Shine Sweet Freedom. If that don't get you hyped
I also very much recommend that you watch "The Muppets" and "The Muppets: Most Wanted" movies that came out more recently. They (IMO) truly do justice to the classics, and I enjoy them equally, for different reasons. You also would much more likely recognize most of the celebrity cameos in the newer ones, which might add to your enjoyment on some level.
30:09 congratulations 🎈🎉🎊

'and Muppets have been in a few other things that I right now can't remember
'
Even though Henson lived another 6 years after this movie, it really did feel like a finality to Henson's muppets. He did do another Muppet show after this, but it wasn't well-received, and was short-lived. I always had the impression that he was a bit tired of the Muppets in this form, and wanted to do something different. After his death, Disney bought the Muppets, and they leaned heavily into the nostalgia with traditional Muppet ventures.
We were upset about Michael Eisner at Disney trying to "buy" the Muppets in '90, but truth was, the sale was Jim's idea, for pretty much the exact same reason that George Lucas wanted to sell Star Wars to Disney and retire from the whole thing.
hey, it's dr. crusher!
The sweater would actually suit u ollie hehe
You should watch Sesame Street: Follow That Bird (1985) it came out a year after this and it’s really good

This is my least favorite of the original three Muppet movies, which is not to say that I dislike it. I mean, it's sweet and funny, but at the same time, the tone feels a little too serious and melancholy. After The Muppet Movie, I didn't need to see another story about Kermit and friends trying to break into showbiz. Even as a kid, I think I questioned the logistics behind their Broadway show. Does it even have a plot? How could they just add a bunch of new people with no experience at the literal last minute? What happens to the audience at the end? Also, two weeks is clearly not enough time to put on a production like that; I don't know why they couldn't have had Kermit go missing for a couple months. Oh, and while I don't know how old the characters are supposed to be, I think I had a hard time buying them as being fresh out of college. I always was a big fan of the Muppet Babies sequence, however.
You should check out the 1980 movie 9 to 5? The actor who's character tried to steal money from the muppets plays a real jerk in that movie as well.
