This movie turned up the Muppets to an 11! Some serious money in the songs and puppetry in this one and it was so much fun! Miss Piggy especially was incredible in this and the meta jokes just kept coming! Anyways, on to Manhattan for the next one! Thanks for watching! Have a great day! :)
Great reaction! Love the Muppets. If you want more Gonzo, I would suggest Muppets in Outer Space. Maybe not the best but still enjoyable. Next Manhattan, one of my favorites directed by Frank Oz.
"You are all WEIRDOS." Fun Fact: During the opening credits, Fozzie (Frank Oz) asks Kermit (Jim Henson) what "B.S.C." (British Society of Cinematographers) stands for, but Kermit doesn't know. RIP Christine Nelson Fact: The girl in the park who thinks Kermit is a bear, is Christine Nelson. The daughter of Muppeteer Jerry Nelson (who also appears in the scene), Christine had cystic fibrosis and died in 1982. Great Bicycle Scene Fact: The bike riding sequence was accomplished by using a combination of radio-controlled bikes, marionette rigging, and in some cases, attaching several bikes together with rods so they could stand upright on their own. The end of the bicycle scene (where all of The Muppets are shown riding together) was done by putting all of the Muppet characters onto their bikes, hooking them together, and pulling them. Brian Henson, on an oversized tricycle, was amongst those who pulled the bikes. Great Underwater Scene Fact: Miss Piggy's underwater musical number was the most difficult scene to shoot, mostly because of communication problems. Lighting, cameramen, cameras, speakers, and monitors were all underwater. Eighteen professional swimmers had to dive into the pool at the same moment. In the June 1981 issue of the children's magazine Dynamic, Frank Oz noted: "The water ballet scene with Miss Piggy was really wonderful. I was under the water for a week. I had three days of scuba training and then down I went. Having them swim for the first time really was exciting!"
Growing up in the Sesame Street, generation X era, we loved The Muppet Show and of course, the movies. Omg, everyone from children, teens, adults to grandparents loved them. The simplistic humor didn't just appeal to kids, but also threw in safe humor to get chuckles out of adults. The late Henson knew humanity and the art and the necessity of humor in life. He's sorely missed.
Jim Henson DID have a cameo as one of the diners that Gonzo photographed, but it's not technically his only onscreen performance in the film. He... well ALL of the Muppet performers don't simply voice their characters, they're doing the puppetry as well. They're just below the camera, crouched in uncomfortable positions, bringing the Muppets too life, voice and all.
Not only is that John Cleese, but the woman having dinner with him is Joan Sanderson who played one of the most infamous guests at Fawlty Towers (a beloved John Cleese series.) She played Mrs. Richards, a thoroughly aggravating woman who would never have her hearing aid turned on (because it runs the batteries down.)
The gag with the guy guessing what's wrong with Kermit is that's Peter Falk doing Colombo, his most famous role. He was a detective that was very kinda unimpressive looking and oddly mild mannered but he could absolutely read people like a book and his laid back kinda nature would disarm people while he unraveled their crimes.
I agree, The Rainbow Connection beats any other song to come out from any Muppet production but this has to be my favorite Muppet film. Part of it has to do with the inclusion of Lady Holiday played by the amazing Diana Rigg... who, if you didn't recognize, was in the Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, as Countess Teresa "Tracy" Di Vicenzo. Her work is extensive and I just love her!
⚠️VERY IMPORTANT⚠️ 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!
30:00 I didn't recognize him till he said "Me, too", but that is Peter Ustinov who played Blackbeard in "Blackbeard's Ghost" which my father loved to watch with us when I was very young.
Thank you, Oliver! 🕵♀ The actor who played 'Nicky Holiday' was Charles Grodin. If you'd like to see some good ones with him, here are a couple that stick out: SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES (1980) and MIDNIGHT RUN (1988). #RolyPolyOllie #JimHenson #TheGreatMuppetCaper
Charles Grodin never lived down having to do “passionate” love scenes with Miss Piggy (where he has trouble keeping a straight face). He was kidded about it for the rest of his career, and nobody even remembered the 70’s King Kong.
This movie was released on the same day as the Roger Moore James Bond film For Your Eyes Only on June 26, 1981. Also fun fact: Diana Rigg who played Lady Holiday played Tracy, the main Bond girl in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969). John Cleese who played Neville also played ‘R’ in The World is Not Enough (1999), and later the new ‘Q’ in the next Bond film Die Another Day (2002).
Famous people in this movie - The main bad guy - Charles Grodin (Great actor, perhaps most famous for the Robert De Niro film, midnight run). The scruffy guy that Kermit speaks to on the bench - Peter Falk (Best known for playing Columbo) The truck driver - Peter Ustinov (Best known for playing Hercule Poirot in a few films)
I haven't seen this movie since it came out in theaters. I can still remember by older brother complaining about having to go see a kid's movie on my birthday.
This is one of my favourite fun films of all time, and Janice gets the best line, she's my fave Muppet, this film is just a delight from start to finish!
In case you don't know, Kermit The Frog is the only Muppet to hit the Top 40 chart with his top 30 hit called The Rainbow Connection! And yes, the artist listed on the label was Kermit The Frog!
John Cleese's wife in this movie was played by Joan Sanderson. While not a big name outside of the UK, she played opposite Cleese in an episode of Fawlty Towers, and was absolutely, brilliantly hilarious. Speaking of which, if you never watched Fawlty Towers, you HAVE to do a react on the channel. There's only 12 episodes, and its considered the best comedy ever in Great Britain.
Fun Fact: Diana Rigg played Lady Holliday. You may know her from On Her Majesty's Secret service. But she is probably more well known today to Game of Throne Fans. she played Olenna Tyrell.
The songs in this film were written by Joe Raposo. If you don’t know who he was, he wrote songs for the early years of Sesame Street, including the shows theme. Also the guy at the first table that Gonzo encounters at the dinner club was none other than Jim Henson himself.
That lady that came out with John Cleese comes out in his Fawlty Towers series as a woman with hearing aid and they don't get along. Well, she comes out in one episode of the series.
Charles Groden's extravagant socks were a joke between him and the puppeteers. Stuck down so low beneath everyone else they complained about having to look at the actors' socks and shoes. Groden wore the crazy socks to entertain them.
I used to watch The Muppet Show (1976-81) with my grandma every Sunday night. Kermit & friends put on a variety show every week at the Muppet theatre. It’s definitely worth watching. The old men would heckle from the their box but always came back for more. Gonzo did his bizarre performance art such eating a car tire accompanied by classical music. According to Frank Oz, in one of the early scripts Miss Piggy was originally supposed to slap Kermit on the face. In the end she karate chopped him, which was funnier.
This was one of my favorites later on in my teenage years but my first one that I LOVED more was the 3rd movie. The Muppets Take Manhattan" is my all time favorite Muppet movie. It's cause this was the one I saw growing up during my childhood. I do enjoy LOTS of the songs from this movie. Great job on the review!
Charles Grodin was a master of deadpan comedy. His appearances on Letterman are legendary. Also, check him out in Midnight Run with DeNiro, Clifford with Martin Short, and the Beethoven (dog) films.
I just couldn't get into this movie as a kid or as an adult. Don't know why. But I'm so excited for you to watch Muppets Take Manhattan! Have you done Muppet Christmas Carol? That would be great to watch too! Not to mention the modern The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted. You got my Muppet side so excited! haha
I was born in 78 so these 3 movies were a big part of my childhood. I actually had a cute little childhood crush on Kermit's personality and hoped to grow up and find a man like him. It wasn't til I was older and watched the 1953 movie, Lili that I realized it was Jim Henson I was crushing on since Kermit is his alter ego. I recommend that 1953 movie, Lili. It's not well known, but you seem the type to see things in movies, like what the story is trying to tell. It has Leslie Caron in it who was famous for Gigi and American in Paris.
Please react to the 3rd movie. It's another great one! I was lucky enough to see all three films in the theater as a kid. I can't even choose my favorite. I love them all. The Muppets Take Manhattan is a blast! I think you'd really enjoy it. The Muppets hold a special place in my childhood memories. When I was 7 I had to have hernia surgery and my parents bought me a Rowlf the dog(my favorite Muppet) puppet which I took to the hospital with me. The doctor wanted to know if he could do surgery on it as well. I said no way lol
This follows the Muppet movie where they are going to to the movie studio to make movies, and the movie they make is a 1930s style musical comedy farce complete with busby Berkely swimming number. Classic Henson to make a movie about the pastiche of movies the way the Muppet show was a pastiche of music hall and vaudeville
My favorite in the series. Joe Raposo, Jim Henson's go-to compiaer, and the Mao songwriter for SESAME STREET hit a grand slam with his songs. HAPPINESS HOTEL is easily the funniest song Joe ever wrote. He almost won best song for THE GORST TIME OT HAPPENS production number, but lost to ARTHUR'S THEME.
Janice’s random story with her mom is still my favorite moment from this movie. “Mother it’s my life okaaay? So if I want to live on the beach and walk around naked….”
I love your muppet reactions so much, you give off such a fun energy and your videos just make my day tbh! And The Great Muppet Caper is one of my faves! The songs are all so amazing, I just hate that they're not on spotify- I wanted to ask, have you watched The Muppets Christmas Carol? It's my all time favourite muppet movie, and one of my favourite films in general! If you haven't seen it yet, I fully recommend watching/reacting to it if you get the chance! It's amazing and Gonzo has a great role in it, which I feel you would appreciate a lot- Anyways, keep up the great work and I can't wait for Muppets take Manhattan!!
You really should try and check out the Muppet Show ... the movies are a direct extension of that show! They had guest celebrities on every week and it was held in a "theater." The muppets would act out skits and sing songs. Kermit was the Stage Director, backstage. You have to see at least one episode to understand why the films are the way they are. Also, Sesame Street. :)
I hope you actually react to Muppets from Space. its the first movie after the death of Jim Henson and it's not a musical but its all about Gonzo and I think you'd really like it. I thought it was hilarious and it was a blast. I still quote lines from Muppets from space to this day. And the soundtrack is great too.
I don't know if anyone has asked if you have seen any episodes of The Muppet Show. If not, you should check it out, including the guest appearances by Elton John!
This Muppet movie wasn't as well-liked because the Muppets were like guest stars in their own movie while guest stars were made the focus of the movie.
I am so happy you did this reaction, the muppets are good for the soul! Please, one thought. Out of respect, at least Google Jim Henson and look at his picture. Show honor to these giants of the industry that you are building your channel on and watching their craft. Know or learn who these people are. If you show them that respect, it will benefit your content even more. Seeing Sesame Street characters has made me appreciate growing up with PBS. We need Sesame Street, The Electric Company, Mr Rogers today more than ever. An older generation grew up being shown how to respect others and enjoy learning in general with Mr Rogers as a mentor. Rather than a newer generation who grew up laughing at others and having SpongeBob as their mentor. You have no idea how much those kinds of mentors are needed today.
Please understand my request was sincere. Hard to put tone into typed words, but I sent with the meaning of a sincere plea not coming down on anyone or being angry. I know reaction channels try to go in with little knowledge of the movie itself. But just for an example, he reacted to Hitchcock movies previously. You can research the director without getting movie spoilers so that when he makes his appearances he recognized him. I was trying to recommend the same for future directors such as Henson. The rest was just me missing an older generation of influence that these movies make very obvious. Nothing against this channel. I enjoy these reactions, especially because there are more classics involved.
New Subbie here Ollie. :) I know you're waiting until Xmas to react to another Muppets movie, but please consider (after A Muppet Christmas Carol) reacting to Muppet Treasure Island!! It might be my favourite ever Muppet movie. And the music in it is great!
This movie turned up the Muppets to an 11! Some serious money in the songs and puppetry in this one and it was so much fun! Miss Piggy especially was incredible in this and the meta jokes just kept coming! Anyways, on to Manhattan for the next one!

Great reaction! Love the Muppets. If you want more Gonzo, I would suggest Muppets in Outer Space. Maybe not the best but still enjoyable. Next Manhattan, one of my favorites directed by Frank Oz.
Is Muppets in Space on the menu? Star Trek references all through that movie.

THANK YOU! As a puppeteer myself it’s annoying that people say puppets have voice actors.
@@dillonohlemiller401 Same! And I say that as a bigger fan of voice acting than puppetry (though I do still really love puppetry)
Not only is that John Cleese, but the woman having dinner with him is Joan Sanderson who played one of the most infamous guests at Fawlty Towers (a beloved John Cleese series.)

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!
17:13 “I wonder who these people are”
The bearded man on screen looking for 10 bucks for Gonzo is Jim Henson himself.

And someday, a reactor will discover the 1978 Warren Beatty “Heaven Can Wait”.
Eric, my aunt took me to see that one in the cinema!!! Love it. And it holds up.
Also 'Ishtar' (1987)
i love the Great Muppet Caper.
"The First Time It Happens" is my favourite number.
The Happiness Hotel is a great song.
30:53
Wait a minute!

Is that the bike from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure?!
Charles Grodin never lived down having to do “passionate” love scenes with Miss Piggy (where he has trouble keeping a straight face). He was kidded about it for the rest of his career, and nobody even remembered the 70’s King Kong.
Petef Falk (Colombo - still the world's most famous TV detective) enters the scene, and the reviewer goes "Who are you..." I feel old.
Has he seen Princess Bride?

21:17 Peter Falk, TV's "Columbo" best remembered as Grandpa from "The Princess Bride".
The water scene w Miss Piggy is a sendup to the over the top musical numbers of the Busby Berkeley musicals of the 30s
Specifically, Esther Williams in “Million Dollar Mermaid”, probably the most unconsciously parodied musical ever made.
This is one of my favourite fun films of all time, and Janice gets the best line, she's my fave Muppet, this film is just a delight from start to finish!
I just want someone to look at me the way Charles Grodon looks at Miss Piggy

If you do the TV movies and TV specials you'll get a lot more of the Jim era Muppets the last one is the trip to Disney World.
is this the film where they are saying "bye bye!' repeatedly after the credits, and animal ends it by saying "Hasta Luego?"
That was the Muppets Take Manhattan. Used to watch the Muppets so much as a kid. Now I get a lot of the jokes aimed at adults.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!! I hope you enjoyed the video :)
