The bearded guy at the table at 18:35 is Jim Henson. Kermit himself.
And the lady next to him is former puppet builder Amy Van Gilder, now an Imagineer.
Lots of cameos from the Muppeteer perfomers - besides these, Frank Oz was the surprised looking guy at the newspaper when Gonzo yelled to stop the presses, Richard Hunt drove the taxi in the intro, Kathy Mullen was his passenger, Jerry Nelson was the man walking past Kermit with his actual daughter Christine ("That's a frog. Bears wear hats.") Sadly she passed away not long after that, but Jim Henson got her in the movie so she could still live her dream of being an actress at least once.
I’m a first gen Muppet Show fan. I’ve seen all the Muppet movies in the theater (except Treasure Island). The performers were household names in my house growing up. I came home from my paper route and my mom could tell I was upset. That was because it was front page news when Henson died. She knew why I was sad. I have Caroll Spinney’s (Big Bird) autograph tattooed on my arm to commemorate getting to meet him!
I say all that just to say… HOW THE HELL DID I MISS JIM HENSON IN THAT SCENE?!?!
@@bwiedor Thank you. I did not realize all those other muppeteers.
@yosefdemby8792 And Rowlf, The Swedish Chef, Dr. Teeth, Link Hogthrob, Waldorf, The Muppet Newsman, Ernie, Guy Smiley and a whole bunch of other Muppets.
He also directed this movie (the only Muppet feature he did in his life) and The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.
The scene in the park with the girl calling Kermit a bear is a bittersweet one. That's Christine Nelson, daughter of Jerry Nelson, a muppeteer who performed Floyd Pepper, Camilla the chicken, Robin, and other characters. His most famous ones were Gobo from Fraggle Rock and Emmet Otter. He is walking with her and identifies Kermit as a frog. She had cystic fibrosis and really wanted to be an actress after graduating high school. Her disease was getting worse, so Jim Henson gave her a speaking role so she could get her Screen Actors Guild care to be a real actress. Sadly, she passed away from her disease in 1982 (this movie came out in 1981) at the age of 21.
Jim Henson had a heart of gold.
on the plus side, the average age someone lived to with that condition back then was only 15, today, it's 45, the improvements in medicine are impressive
Kermit dancing with the coat rack is a nod to Fred Astaire dancing with one in the movie “Royal Wedding” - a must see!
Also reminds me of the Warner Brothers frog. "Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my rag time gal"
The whole movie is an homage to 1930s musicals and screwball comedies
The Miss Piggy swimming scene is a nod to the films of '40s musical star Esther Williams.
Oh, yes, add Royal Wedding to the watchlist! It also has the classic number where Astaire dances on the ceiling!
For the next TV series, Ashleigh needs to watch reruns of the Muppet show from the 70,s
Holy sh*t 100000000% YES
And it’s easily found (mostly) on Disney+.
I would love selected episodes of Dinosaurs.
In which she won't know who 90% of the guests are!
@@philipsheppard4815 so it's a great primer!
"Can we do a wellness check on Gonzo?"
He's living his truth, leave him be.
Muppet. Treasure. Island. Tim Curry excellence.
After the first canon Muppet Movies (3) this is my favorite! And yes. Tim Curry is excellent.
She already said that it is coming in a few weeks in her first Muppet reaction.
She is doing most of them, and that will come after this and Manhattan, I believe.
Maybe even after space, but she specifically said that it will be here even if it is the last, even though she didn't mention Christmas Carol.
That will probably come around Christmas.
@@JohnLoutsenhizerAshley has already reacted to the Christmas Carol last year. :)
Haha and Gonzo says..."underwear" hahahah 😅
anything with Tim Curry in it is 30% better by default.
Human sized Miss Piggy was a stunt double - which is something Miss Piggy demanded earlier ;-)
LOL Such a diva!
The original Muppet Show was a parody of vaudeville-style variety programs, which were really common on TV in the 70s. Gonzo on the show is a daredevil, who is in a relationship with Camilla the chicken. A *lot* of the muppet personalities were well-established before the first Muppet Movie. Gonzo’s not depressed, just a thrill-seeker.
"Why are you telling me all this?"
"It's plot exposition, it has to go somewhere."
"You can't even sing! Your voice was dubbed!"
I love that joke!
SAME! 😂
@sirjedisentinel: *_THANK YOU!!!_* I struggled way too long wondering why Nicky's "Singing Voice" sounds the way it does, & what that last word Miss Piggy was saying!
Diana Rigg - such an amazing actress. She said she did it because her daughter was a huge Muppet fan. She was the perfect Lady Holiday!
That’s cool 😂
And the perfect mother-in-law (in maybe her final role?) in The Detectorists (Acorn TV). WONderful show!!!
@shoshanalewinfischer: I wouldn't know, since I never saw anyone else audition for Lady Holiday. So - And I'll quote Miss Piggy here - Diana Rigg is "The one and only Lady Holiday"
I believe Ashleigh last saw her as Mrs James Bond.
Olenna Tyrell in Game of Thrones! ❤ "Tell Cersei it was me." Total badass
“What are flowered socks?”
“Those are fun socks”
😂😂😂
A caper is a criminal scheme, such as a bank heist, a train robbery, or other plot. It can also be more "innocent," such as a group of kids planning to do something without being caught, such as sneaking into the pantry to steal cookies. Basically, it's a crime or other such action which requires planning and finesse, and requires everyone involved in the plot to do their assigned tasks flawlessly, or risk everything going pear shaped
It can similarly match shenanigans.
The gentleman in the house Miss Piggy snuck into is John Cleese, an A-list British actor. He was in Monty Python, A Fish Called Wanda as the judge, in Harry Potter as Nearly Headless Nick, and so much more! I happened to work for awhile in the city he lives in, and met him a couple times. He's the nicest, most genuine celebrity you'd ever want to meet! No ego at all. His wife was really nice, too!😊
That scene felt like a Monty Python skit.
His scene includes Joan Sanderson (1912 ‑ 1992) who starred in an episode of Fawlty Towers with Cleese , series 2 episode 1.
The most “British” comedy scene in a movie based in London 😂🇬🇧
@@jontastic Cool! He even appeared on Classic Doctor Who, in "City of Death." With the Fourth Doctor, if I'm not mistaken! I believe there is a clause in every British actor's contract that they must appear on Doctor Who at least once, LOL!😆
In A Fish Called Wanda he wasn't the judge, he was a barrister (attorney).
This is my favorite of the Classic Three. When I was little, the very idea of a human being in love with a muppet was absolutely hysterical, and he's just hamming it up so hard.
My friend used to date a quite ugly girl that I swore was the daughter of Miss Piggy and Lewis Black. lol
When you play being in love with a pig, hamming it up is pretty much mandatory.
The Swedish Chef taught me everything I know about cooking.😂🤣😂🤣
So you throw food all over the place while talking incoherently? Cool!
BORK BORK BORK!!!
Chef Ramsay, who?
oh good lord... you're on Tiktok arent you?
Muppets from space is a must.
Name your zits Statler and Waldorf after the two old guy muppets that heckle everybody.
Waldorf: Do you think we'll be entertained tonight?
Statler: I will. I brought a book.
Doh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
Yes!
No dive into the world of Muppets can be complete without watching The Dark Crystal. It doesn't use the characters or storytelling of the Muppets, but it is Jim Henson and it uses ( and advances) Muppet technology - plus it's a bad ass movie.
YES
So many great special effects and not a drop of CGI. That whole bicycle scene is a work of art.
They didn't have cgi when this was made!
@@stevenjump8234 Actually they did. This was '81. Depending on who you ask, the first CGI was either 1973 with Westworld, 1977 Star Wars or 1979 The Black Hole.
Yeah, and good luck figuring out how they did the bicycle circles... It's a well kept secret. I had the same reaction as Ashleigh. There are parts I guessed, but they'll never reveal the entire secret of that.
@@rayceeya8659 If you wanna get really technical, the opening credits of Vertigo (1958) used an M5 Gun Director to generate the spirals. That's a computer, and the spirals are imagery, so that's technically CGI.
For 3D computer graphics, Futureworld (1976) is notable.
@@rayceeya8659 Vertigo used an M5 Gun Director to generate the spirals in the opening credits. Technically CGI in 1958. But in the sense of 3D graphics, I think Futureworld might be first. 1976.
The newspaper editor is Jack Warden. He's been a character actor in a lot of movies, including as the next-door neighbor in While You Were Sleeping.
And she saw him as the sex crazed father in Dirty Work.
You may recognize him from "12 Angry Men"... he was the one in the hat complaining about missing the ball game.
He’s also Big Ben Healy in Problem Child and the 1991 sequel.
22:22 The man in that cameo is Jerry Nelson, one of Jim Henson's top puppeteers. He played Count Von Count, Mr. Snuffleupagus (from 1971 to 1978), Herry Monster, Pops, Floyd the bassist, Robin the Frog, Crazy Harry, Lew Zealand, Emmet Otter, Gobo Fraggle, Pa Gorg, Marjorie the Trash Heap, and many other characters.
Next to him is his daughter, Christine. She lived a hard life with cystic fibrosis, and her father could get emotionally distraught taking care of her. She died not long after making this cameo appearance.
May the both of them rest in peace.
This Cameo was a bucket list wish for the young woman that Jim made happen.
OMG!! So excited for Muppet Treasure Island!! One of my favorites.
BOOM! Sha-ka'l-a-KAH!
I know, right? 😂
I still refer to the ocean as The Big Blue Wet Thing
I absolutely love that movie!!! Tim Curry is the real treasure of the movie! 😂
@@scarhead11 Ooooooh... The BIG blue WET thing!
@@scarhead11 🤣🤣
I love the bit of trivia that Piggy's fantasy sequence was filmed on the same Soundstage as the "I am your father" scene from The Empire Strikes Back.
Frank Oz must really be fond of that place.
I feel so fortunate to have lived on this planet during a time when Jim Henson was creating these movies, the Muppet Show, even Sesame Street (and let's not forget Farscape).
Farscape was not made while Henson was alive.
@@yosefdemby8792 While Jim had already passed, it was Jim Henson studios. Brian Henson, his son, is an executive producer on the show.
@@tofersiefken True.
My favorite muppet movie! Charles Grodin plays Nicky Holiday and he was a brilliant actor. Every time I watch this movie I truly believe he was in love with a bit of foam rubber…😂 seriously Nicky holiday is the only character I’d ever ship Miss Piggy with besides Kermit.
Now the bike scene is basically a mix of high tech marionette work . I know the end of the scene all the muppets riding bikes was a camera trick because all the bikes were connected by camouflaged rods and two crew members pulled the muppets ahead on bikes too.
The underwater scene was an homage to Esther Williams movies, she was a professional swimmer turned actress that did a lot of water ballet movies.
Now for Christmas you can watch “A Muppet Family Christmas” it’s my favorite Christmas movie.
A Very Merry Muppet Christmas is a nice story that would raise A LOT of questions when she watches it
Lady Holiday is played by Diana Rigg, who you may know from Game of Thrones as Lady Olenna Tyrell.
The truck driver Miss Piggy throws into the garbage was Sir Peter Ustinov. Ashleigh would probably know him as the voice of Prince John in Disney’s animated Robin Hood.
Came to the comments to see if anyone already pointed him out.
He’s also in a great comedy called Black Beard’s Ghost as the pirate himself! 😂
@@questworldiangreenknight7455 yep, with Dean Jones. I didn’t think Ashleigh was likely to know that one, though.
@@thefamilydad8635 another fun fact Dean Jones was part of the first cast for Stephen Sondheim’s musical “Company” as Bobby (the protagonist)
Peter Ustinov did a lot of things in his life, but for me he is always Hercule Poirot in _Death on the Nile_ (1978 - best version) and _Evil under the Sun_ (1982). Both movies are a ton of fun, full of star actors and great music.
I was today years old when I found out that Animal prefers French Impressionist art to the Dutch Masters, plainly a... being of excellent taste.
It's especially funny because, in an episode of Muppet Babies, Piggy's looking for someone to paint a portrait of herself. One artist she tries is Pierre "Animal" Renoir.
"Me Renoir! Har-rar-rar-rar-rar-rar!"
Yes, that is Columbo (Peter Falk). He was the Grandpa who read "The Princes Bride" to the grandson in that wonderful movie. he also stars in film you would love called, "Murder By death." It's "Clue" but.....much better.
I've been rewatching Columbo and it's alittle slow paced but holds up so well
Seconded!
Murder By Death is placed quite high on my reaction channel bingo card 😂
@@chefskiss6179 SO many stars in Murder By Death, but I fear she'll only recognize Jamesir Bensonmum.
Oooooh I need to see it!
Loved Murder By Death, but I'd think it would be out of fashion, considering Peter Sellers is playing basically the caricature of a Chinese man. 🤷♀️
"Is that Columbo?"
Yay, she got one!
🤣😜
The actor's name is Peter Falk.
Can't wait for you to watch Muppets Take Manhattan!!!! It's so funny. ("Peoples is peoples. No is buildings. Is tomatoes, huh? Is peoples, is dancing, is music, is POTATOES! So, peoples is peoples. Okay?” ... words of wisdom to live by!) 😂😂😂😂
Human-sized, crazy-eyed Mr Piggy is soon to become Ashleigh’s sleep paralysis demon
Full figure Muppets on a bicycle was impressive. Having them turn circles was even more so.
It does my heart so much good to hear that Ashleigh likes Sweetums...the giant muppet...so much 3:45. I can only hope that she comes to love him as much as I do...he is just the biggest and most loveable softy ever! 😁
I used to be terrified of him but then finding out he’s as sweet as his name I felt so bad for him since i myself have been misjudged by his I look 😅 (not racially or anything just because of my look people usually assume the worst)
Thog is even bigger a d more of a softie. Doesn't make any big apperance in the movies (he does have a more prominence in The Muppets from 2011, though he doesn't say anyting) but it shows in The Muppet Show especially in Season 1 and in The Muppet Valentines Show pilot. He's the huge blue Muppet with big almost duck like lips and floppy ears.
Sweetums is the reason why I love characters who look mean and scary but are actually just big lovable lugs underneath it all 😁
She should watch Muppet Frog Prince.
@@iKvetch558 In the Muppetvision 3D attraction in Disney World, Sweetums actually walks out into the theater at one point, performed by a real person!
Love the fact that the "big guy" muppet is called Sweetums.
It was originally an intentionally ironic name, as he was one of the antagonists in The Frog Prince, which was also Robin’s debut as the titular Prince.
The man having the dinner with the old woman you called boring is John Cleese from Monty Python and Harry Potter.
The late and great Diana Rigg a.k.a Lady Holiday...she was so stunning!
I feel like Lady Olena Tyrell would have some words with you for referring to Lady Holiday as a late Diana Rigg.......
But absolutely the GREAT Diana Rigg.
@@m1gramme well i meant cause she passed away, she was so stunning and sassy
@@hannahgrayy1051 Touche. I never meant to imply you were wrong. Just "sassy" Lady Olena might have some things to say about the comment.
@@m1gramme i love how young Natalie Dormer looked ALOT like young Diana Rigg...great casting
Bonds wife aswell (that’s how I mainly knew her from)
Muppets Take Manhattan was always a favorite growing up. Muppet Christmas Carol is my favorite Muppet movie, though. 💜💜💜
The Muppets Take Manhattan is brilliant.
I watch Christmas Carol every year and Treasure Island is probably a close 2nd favorite Muppet movie.
When legendary stand up comedian Billy Connolly starred in Muppet Treasure Island, he sneakily asked one of the crew "Where do they keep all the Muppets when they're not being used ?"
The crew member gave him directions to the room and when he got there he opened the door and ALL the Muppets turned round to see who was at the door.
And Connolly was overjoyed.
You also really watch the two recent Muppet films, The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted
You mean they were somehow rigged to turn and face whoever opened the door?
OMG YES! The songs are a blast 😂
You mean they were all rigged to do that somehow?
Words don't accurately describe how much I enjoy this movie. This is off the wall Muppet perfection lol
Same!!
I haven’t seen this movie in probably 20 years and every second is coming back to me like an old memory fading into view. I used to watch this one so much!!! Can’t wait for Muppet Treasure Island, my favorite one!
Diana Riggs played Lady Holiday. Yes, the Queen of Thorns from Game of Thrones starred in this in all her beautiful glory. I love it!
And what +1 Dame she was!
"There's chickens here... Gonzo already has a b0ner!!!" Bahahaha 😂😂😂
yup, i lol'd at that too. it's so funny because it's most likely true.
That made me laugh so hysterically!😂😂😂
So, everyone's talking about Gonzo 's chicken fetish, *_(To think someone had one BEFORE Ed from Ed, Edd, & Eddy)_* but *_NOBODY_* realizes Beauregard crashing through the kitchen is the payoff to the Happiness Hotel song lyrics: "Don't try to order dinner, there's no kitchen anymore"?!?!?
If she wants Sesame Street characters Follow That Bird is like the ultimate Sesame Street film
Well Lady Holiday (the real Lady Holiday that is) is played the late Diana Rigg, who you may rmember from the James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", she was the lady James married at the end of the movie, (of course that marriage was sadly cut short..), she was also one of the main stars of the 1960 British T.V series "The Avengers" (no relation to the Marvel series, totally different thing) There is film adaption of "The Avengers" from 1998 starring Ralph Finnes, Uma Thurman and Sean Connery, but unfortunately it's...not very good.
Queen of Thorns, the Lady Olenna!
And don't forget she was Miss Hardbroom in the original Worst Witch movie.
Loved her as Emma Peel in "The Avengers" It was a British import...she was in season 4, 5, & 6 plus the first person to do kung-fu on-screen. Saw that her fighting suits were called "Emmapeelers"...she hated the leather which is why her wardrobe changed in the following seasons.
@anath7589 Emma Peele was the biggest bad-ass woman in the history of television. Anyone that tries to tell you that there were no strong women in television in the sixties were never really around in the sixties.
@@anath7589 What was Cathy Gale's fighting style?
I have all the Emma Peel episodes on DVD. And some comic books (not on DVD). I wish some reactors would do _The Avengers._
I know Treasure Island and Christmas Carol get all the love, but for my money this is hands-down the best, and funniest, Muppet movie yet made. Perfect from start to finish.
Yeah this ones always been the one i like most, granted it was the first Muppet movie i ever saw as a kid so alot of its nostalgia.
“People really like Kermit riding a bike in the first movie so lets do that again but more”
The guy who played Nicky Holiday is Charles Grodin, who played the father in the first two Beethoven movies, if you've ever seen those.
This is the best Muppet movie IMO! I absolutely love it. Fun, funny and action packed with a great story and hilarious satire.
I’m looking forward to Muppet Treasure Island.
Kermit's legs are so skinny that they are definitely safe from any restaurant. 😂 🐸
My favourite Muppet movie EVER.
Muppet treasure Island is my favorite one of all
I do have some nostalgia for Muppets Take Manhattan, but it almost completely abandons the fourth wall breaking, which is one of my favorite aspects of the Muppets.
Kermit and Piggy being and not being a thing is sortof a running theme with them. Mostly it's Miss Piggy chasing Kermy though.
Piggy pursues Kermit with all her heart, but Kermit is always too flustered to commit. But of course, that's one of the things Piggy loves about him, so the pursuit never ends 😁
Muppet Treasure Island has Billy Connolly as Billy Bones, and he holds the record as the only person to die in a Muppet movie!
Tell you what Ashleigh, I know you don't do Commedians on your channel, but watch some Billy Connolly clips for yourself, you'll love them, pc they are not!
Also my favorite Aussie, Kevin Bloody Wilson.
@@davidclarke7122 You can never go wrong with Billy Connolly! He did so much more than stand-up, too. If you've never seen his "World Tour of Scotland" then go and find it right, feckin' now!:)
@@ghostbeetle2950 seen all the world tours, all great, but love the unedited version of "An Audience with Billy Connolly"
@@davidclarke7122 Fantastic!
I know you're not going to recognize all the cameos, but I'm surprised you didn't notice the late Mrs. Bond right off. You had all the time in the world.
Just in case it hasn't been said, the freaky looking diving Miss Piggy was actually a human being in a Miss Piggy suit. Also this is my _second_ favorite Muppet movie. The next one is my favorite.
Ok I was hoping I was remembering that correctly. That diving scene always freaked me out as a kid 😂
I couldn’t help cracking up when you gave the punchline to the joke Dolly Parton told in the bloopers reel of 9 to 5: What’s green and smells like Miss Piggy?
Muppets Christmas carol may be the best version of that story of all time.
This 🤜🤛
My favorite Muppet film! This is such a genuinely funny, smart, silly, meta film! It honestly gets funnier the more times I watch it!
Has absolutely nothing to do with the meta and that is why it is good and entertaining. 👍🏻🇺🇸
When my teacher in English classes would ask "Does anyone know what exposition is". I would answer:
"it's the part of the story that is 'Why are you telling me this?'-it's exposition it has to go somewhere".
Everyone would be confused. I got to talk about my favorite movie is and everyone learned what exposition is though the greatest example.
Omg I am SOOOOO excited for Muppet Treasure Island! My personal favorite.
Loved this watchalong with you! Really loved seeing Diana Rigg (Lady Holiday) again, a.k.a. Mrs James Bond and Lady Olenna Tyrell. I hope you get back to the James Bond franchise as well.
3:45 - the "big mouthed guy" is named Sweetums.
4:20 - on the original show, they had a sketch with live chickens. Gonzo (or rather, his puppeteer Dave Goelz) ad-libbed "nice legs though" about the chickens, and from then on, Gonzo had a thing for chickens.
Gonzo's puppeteer was Dave Goelz.
@@pem1974 Clearly, I need to reset my brain again. Thanks for the clarification.
Don't forget Muppets from Space. It's Gonzo's story and finally answers the question of what gonzo is.
I too am a wierdo conzo the great is my 2nd cousin
I thought that was retconned or scrapped as nan-canonic.
Don’t give spoilers about Gonzo.
I wish they hadn't. It was better when I didn't know.
@@wartang whats wrong with being a wierdo im a wierdo
This was my intro to Muppets. My brother and i use to watch this incessantly growing up.
My family had a Betamax (it was the superior format but movies would take 2 tapes so VHS won out because that's what video stores---remember video rental stores---would stock) this was the ONE movie we had on betamax.
Every.....day.....This is still my favorite.
Also the Muppet Show every day in its first round of syndication.(mid-late 80s)
@@m1gramme haha, my uncle went hard on Betamax. I agree, it was a superior product. But, in the end, profits made the tech of VHS come out on top. H/K theory applied from biology to consuner economics.
This is such a good one. It's probably my second favorite after The Muppet Movie. You do know two of the cameos. The stuffy british man with his wife was John Cleese. And you guessed right about Peter Falk. He was Columbo, and his role is basically him making fun of Columbo. Also fun fact: the scene where Miss Piggy swims was filmed on the same stage as Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Specifically, the scene where Vader reveals he's Luke's father. Great reaction 🙂
Don't forget nearly headless Nick in Harry Potter.
@@redcelticdrake John Cleese
@JebWCManning Frank OZ who plays Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear also played Yoda as well ,
The Muppet show was filmed entirely in England because U.S networks rejected it until a British impresario and producer named Lew Grade who believed in Jim Henson decided to invest in his show .
Jim Henson always maintained contact with British entertainers and spoke highly of the actors and crew in England .
The Great Muppet caper is an awesome gem from my Childhood .
love this movie .
CHEERS .
@@harveylee51Oz also played Sam the Eagle and Animal the drummer. Other roles include Bert, Grover, and Cookie Monster.
Henson would film The Great Muppet Caper, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, The Tale of The Bunny Picnic, The Storyteller, and various other projects in London.
This has always been my favorite muppet movie.
SAME
She wasnt impressed. lol
100000% my fav.
Gonzo is my spirit animal! I love him so much.
8:15 "Glossies" refers to professional photo prints (with a glossy finish). Before the internet and digital photos, people who wanted to break into show business would have some professional portraits taken, and go around giving them to agents, promoters, and agencies, trying to get noticed for job opportunities.
Now we gotta do Muppet Treasure Island!!!! Tim Curry, pirates, muppets, it's great!
I miss supper clubs. Dinner, drinks and dancing.
I love it when you get into these things your personality is unconventional but charming.
I feel that I should warn you:
The Muppets Take Manhattan WILL make you cry!
😢
…even more so than Muppet Christmas Carol!
Woman! Woman!! Woman!!
Animal doing his thing always makes me laugh. 😅
You snapshot with Miss Piggy was perfect.
Muppet treasure island is incredible. Tim Curry is incredible.
"if this is the Happiness Hotel, then I'd hate to see what the sad one looked like!". this line cracks me every time! it’s so perfect! 😂
I love this franchise so much and this was my first Muppet movie ever. I used to wear this vhs out as a kid!! So happy you’re reacting to these!!
Look up how they do the bicycles… I promise you, even knowing, it’s still magical to watch after ALL THESE YEARS. LOVE this movie. Miss Jim Henson in the world.
So first the whole film is more of an homage to old Hollywood Musicals specially the works of Busbly Berkly with "The First Time it Happens" Fred Astaire with "Steppin Out With a Star", and Esther Williams swimming films with theWater Ballet sequence,
You don’t have to worry about Gonzo his whole shtick is the daredevil guy who would do things no one else would,
The song "The First Time It Happens" was actually nominated for Best Original Song, but unfortunately losing to the awful "Arthur's Theme (The Best That You Can Do)" by Christopher Cross,
Lady Holiday was played by Diana Rigg who you saw as the Bond girl in On Her Majesty's Secret Service,
Not sure if you picked up on the joke, the running gag of Fozzie and Kermit being twins works because when you see them both with hats to everyone they will look identical like the photo in the desk of cameo Jack Warden who you will remember in While you were Sleeping and Problem Child.
The girl who says "Look dad it's a bear." Is the daughter of the puppeteer she is walking with is her dad Jerry Nelson. Her name was Christine and Jim gave her a spoken line so she could be a part of the Actor's Union she was in bad health and died in 1982.
B.S.C. stands for British Society of Cinematographers,
The man Gonzo took a picture of and gave him the money was Jim Henson.
To explain a couple of the cameos:
Peter Falk most famous for Lieutenant Columbo (who you know as the grandpa in Princess Bride) is the one who approaches Kermit on the park bench,
Peter Ustinov was the driver Miss Piggy pulls out who did a lot of comedies and is in a film I recommend for HalloBeans: Blackbeard's Ghost,
Some other HalloBeans suggestions:
Haunted Honeymoon,
Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983),
The Watcher in the Woods (1980),
Duel,
The Haunting (1963),
Frankenstein (1931),
Dracula (1931),
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1932),
Nosferatu (1922),
Wait, Jerry Nelson's daughter died? Geez! I had no idea!
I saw this movie in the theaters when I was a little girl. I first became aware of Miss Piggy watching The Muppet Show on PBS when I was very young. I always admired her chutzpah and how she made the most of what God gave her. She’s protective and fiery. Honestly, she’s my spirit animal. I’m not cute by any stretch but I put on fake hair and eyelashes and summon my inner Miss Piggy in life. I’ve survived much…lung cancer and a near fatal car accident a while back…Here I sit in my pink dressing room surrounded by by my shoes and wigs and painting my face up and glueing my eyelashes on. Miss Piggy is goals.
This was my absolute favorite Muppet movie as a kid
*_OMG, SHUT UP! SAME!!_*
Charles Grodin had a hit with Midnight Run. Talk about a fun caper.
Ashleigh, The Muppet Show is a LOT of fun. Two pieces from them that i will never forget
- Linda Rondstat singing Blue Bayou is just a gorgeous set and vibe.
- John Denver singing Grandma's Feather Bed in a giant cozy rollicking bed full of Muppets.
Can you tell i have BIG ❤love❤ for The Muppets? They even put out Miss Piggy calendars of spectacular sets and costumes. I think i have 1984(?) in a drawer somewhere. Oh man, now i gotta dig. Thanks for the fun reaction! ❤
That was so cute the picture gonzo took of you at the end ❤❤
This is my absolute favorite Muppet movie. I love Piggy so much. I wanted to BE Miss Piggy
The truck driver was Peter Ustenov. If you ever see Disney's Robin Hood, he's the voice of Prince John.
And did a number of movies as Hercule Poriot.
Would love for her to see the original We're No Angels!
He also worked on the Disney movie "Blackbeard's Ghost" as the Title character.
And for those of us old enough to remember: The voice of Doctor Snuggles.
He also voices King Richard, who appears at the end of the movie.
The pool scene is an homage to the great Busby Berkeley, a filmmaker from the 1940’s known for his elaborate musical choreography. These old film reels are worth a gander!
The Muppet Show was made in England from 1976 to 1981 and this movie was kind of a nice farewell to the country after those 5 years.
Not really. They filmed multiple projects in England after this film.
@@yosefdemby8792 Correction: not farewell, "Love letter". But it's a farewell for the main Muppet characters like Kermit and the rest.
@@Mokkari77That’s fair.
@@yosefdemby8792 But the Muppet Show was no longer being filmed there.
@@m1gramme It may have been a farewell to The Muppet Show, but not to Henson's life and business in England.
IVE NEVER BEEN MORE EXCITED FOR ANYTHING. THIS MOVIE IS INCREDIBLE!!
"twin peaks"
LOL!! 😂😂😂😂😂
"We'll make a ladder out of whatever will hold us."
"Good idea! Here's the paper towels!"
Bear: **is green and has horizontal slit pupils**
Ashleigh: Oh, that's Fozzie's dad, huh?
Yes, and ONLY HIS.
One of the women performing the water ballet with Miss Piggy is the actress who played Chrissie, the first victim in the movie, "Jaws".
The boring man who said "There is a pig outside our house," is John Cleese. the most famous member of Monty Python who played many roles in Holy Grail including Lancelot, the Black Knight, and Tim, the Enchanter who warns Arthur about the rabbit.
@grahamers John Cleese also wrote and Starred in a Fish Called Wanda along with Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline it's also a caper movie and one of the funniest movies ever IMO .
that'll be awesome to see ASHLEIGH react to that !
CHEERS.
She already has reacted to it, I think 🤔
Miss Piggy's underwater scene is an homage to Esther Williams and the "aquamusicals" of the 1940s and early 1950s. She was an American Olympic swimmer who was discovered by Hollywood and made several movies featuring scenes of synchronized swimming and diving set to music.
YESSSSSS! This makes my little autistic Muppet heart so very happy. ❤
I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet, but the lady at the modeling agency in the beginning with Miss Piggy was the actress who played Lady Olenna in Game of Thrones.
