    With so many folks posting about THE MUPPETS CHRISTMAS CAROL tonight, it might blow your minds a bit to know that every single costume in the film (human & Muppet alike) was designed by Polly Smith, co-inventor of the sports bra. Merry Christmas!

    Someone else said it but it bears repeating: "The Muppet Christmas Carol" is the best movie ever because Michael Caine treats the Muppets as fellow, human actors. "Muppet Treasure Island" is the best movie ever because Tim Curry treats himself as a Muppet.

    the most bonkers thing about this is that if a network was smart they could literally use this as free marketing. have the stars of all your other projects guest as themselves, as if in this world the standard “my movie opens this week” circuit is like Good Morning America, Kimmel and The Muppets

    OTD in 1979, THE MUPPET MOVIE opened in theaters across the United States. Jim Henson noted (with typical understatement) that its reception was "Great!" and it was one of the most profitable films of the decade. But getting the Muppets to the big screen in the first place was hard work.

    Tim Curry is one of the two paragons of how to succeed in a Muppet movie. Michael Caine is the one who shows it works by treating all the Muppets as fellow people. Tim Curry shows it works by treating yourself as a fellow Muppet

    OTD in 1984, The Muppets Take Manhattan was released in theaters. Written and directed by Frank Oz, it would spawn one of the Jim Henson Company's most successful--and unexpected--spinoffs. It would also be the last Muppet film to be released in Jim Henson's lifetime. /1

    One of the first orders of business was to see how the Muppets would look on film. "We're taking the characters out of the Muppet Show and bringing them into the real world," Jim said. On a rainy Spring day, Jim, Frank Oz, and Frawley went into the English countryside to film test footage.

    Jim had wanted to direct the movie himself, but had been persuaded that, for the Muppets' first foray into film, a more experience director was probably needed. Jim selected James Frawley, a director of comedies and TV shows like The Monkees. He would be a good fit.
