Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey is a wonderful documentary, it made me cry. <3

Or at least you must watch the Muppets music video with OK Go, for it is Made of Win. XD

Holy crap, Kermit/Miss Piggy does explain a lot! O.o LOL!

I think I know which movie I'm watching with Essjayvee on our next movie geekout :D

Really, Kermit/Miss Piggy are the fleece puppet version of Benedick/Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing. Including that the other characters ALL secretly ship them. *lmao* <3

I also really liked Kermit and Miss Piggy from an early age! Come to think of it Miss Piggy was a pretty bad ass female role model.

There is criticism about the male-female ratio in the Muppets...but for me growing up watching 'em Miss Piggy was all the female role model I needed. She rocked! Very much secure in herself and happy to speak her mind.
I still remember the bit in 'Muppets Take Manhattan' where she crashed through the glass roof on a motorcycle (and wearing black leather, rawr XD) being my favourite of all. :D

Yeah, I guess they had more female muppets on sesame street but I never really thought about that for the muppet show. Miss Piggy was just so big it seemed to more than make up for it. (and a lot of the monsters seemed pretty genderless anyway). But I'm really glad you posted this as it totally explained a lot of things to me too!

Unfortunately the thing I remember most about Muppets take manhattan is that I was very upset about the "perm". Lols!

Eheheheh, oh yes, the awful bubble perm - LULZ! ^_^;;;
