  Drummerworld: Animal - Ronnie Verell
Teeth is a cross between Dr. John and Elton John; Sgt. Floyd Pepper is based on the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album, and the original concept for Janice was a skinny, long-haired male character based on Mick Jagger.
In the movie The Great Muppet Caper, it is revealed that Animal has a passion for impressionist paintings, especially those of Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
One of his television contracts was The Muppet Show, where he played in the band, and also provided the frenetic drum solos for the puppet drummer known as Animal.

  Bad Tiki - The Janice Story
My best friend and I dubbed her Janice because she resembled a certain Muppet (the tambourine player in Dr. Teeth’s band, The Electric Mayhem.) But my Mother told me, tears in her eyes, that it hurt her feelings when we mocked Janice, because she thought she was beautiful.
Janice became symbolic of many things: my Mother’s questionable taste, obviously, and her emotional attachment to inanimate objects.
I believe this coincided with her teddy bear collection reaching critical mass and thus relegating some of the bears to purgatorial status (strangely, all bears I had given her.) Janice was removed from the piano, as was Schubert, and replaced by a bear wearing a peach antebellum ensemble in the style of Scarlett O’Hara.

 Muppet Central Articles - Editorials: Janice is a member of the family
Janice was first designed as a man by Michael Frith, blue-skinned, with "two wisps of beard," an animated throat, and "utterly emaciated." By her premiere on The Muppet Show, however, she had metamorphosed into the blonde, big-lashed, big-lipped woman we know and love.
Janice was the lead guitarist for The Electric Mayhem, and her main squeeze, Floyd Pepper, played the bass.
Janice was also frequently seen on the dance floor, usually with Floyd, but often with others, as they spun around to the same tune telling jokes only Muppets can get away with.

The Muppets are, in their own way, very much like James Bond.
When the Muppets have a solid story on which to lampoon, the visual and aural hoo-hahs fly fast and furious.

Now while these things are admittedly great, as is the movie's formal playfulness (screenplay-within-the-screenplay, film break, etc.), what distinguishes 'The Muppet Movie' from the other Muppet films is the serious, wistful thread that runs through the picture.
It's a road movie, all right, but like most road movies, the pleasure is in the getting there, and the achievement of the characters' goals is tempered by uncertainty, and by the knowledge that they can never really go back again.
All this is punctuated with the expected Muppet chaos and satire and deliciously awful jokes, and of course the serious stuff wouldn't work if it weren't.
