2023-12-23 16:37:20 +0000 UTCThe Muppets were already established characters as the Muppet Show had already been an established hit on television winning many Emmys and while Jim Henson had made them with adults in mind to enjoy they just happened to appeal to kids as well. The man Edgar Bergen who cameos with his dummy Charlie were the inspiration for Jim to go into Ventriloquism and he was one of the guest stars on the show and unfortunately died before the film was released and so at the very end of the film is a dedication to him. So to explain the Big Bird scene it was a joke saying "Going to New York City to Break Into Public Television." Is because Sesame Street is a public television (PBS) series that is made in New York, To give a break down on some of the cameos in this film: Actor Dom DeLuise is the agent in the boat (voice of Jeremy in Secret of NIMH, Tiger in American Tail, Fagin in Oliver and Company, Itchy in All Dogs Go To Heaven), The El Sleezo Owner was actor James Coburn, The film’s songwriter Paul Williams was the piano player and his song Rainbow Connection was nominated for Best Song unfortunately not winning, Richard Pryor was the balloon salesman, Bob Hope was the Ice Cream man, Elliot Gould announced the winners of the Pageant, The Woman who kept appearing when Myth was repeated was Carol Kane, Mel Brooks was the mad scientist, Famous actor and director Orson Wells was Lew Lord at the end, The man who puppeteered and voices Fozzie, Miss Piggy and others is Frank Oz who directed Little Shop of Horrors and was the puppeteer and voice of Yoda, To perform as Kermit on the log in the opening Jim squeezed into a specially designed metal container with an air hose the scene took five days to film, For the big finale with all of Muppet, Sesame Street and other characters created up to that point of more than 250 characters 137 puppeteers were inlisted from the Puppeteers of America along with regular Muppet Performers and a couple of notable puppeteers were John Landis and Tim Burton, The next film released was The Great Muppet Caper and basically each film is not connected to the last acting like each was just a play the only two really connected are the 2011 film you saw listed and it's sequel Muppets Most Wanted,
