	The Muppets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word "Muppet" itself was said by Henson to have been created by combining the words "marionette" and "puppet"; however, Henson was also known to have stated that it was just something he liked the sound of, and he made up the "marionette/puppet" story while talking to a journalist because it sounded plausible.
		Muppets are distinguished from ventriloquist "dummies", which are typically animated only in the head and face, in that their arms or other features are also mobile and expressive.
		Muppets may represent humans, anthropomorphic animals, realistic animals, robots or anthropomorphic objects, extra-terrestrial creatures, mythical beings or other unidentified, newly imagined creatures.

	The Muppets St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
		Henson (1936-1990) coined the term Muppets by combining the words "marionette" and "puppet,;" which pretty much describes these sock puppets with arms that were usually operated by a single puppeteer.
		For the first time in broadcast history,; an educational program started drawing ratings comparable to those of the commercial networks, and the Muppets were given their due share of the credit and glory for this feat.
		But none of these celebrities outshone the Muppets themselves, nor did their stellar performances eclipse the public's interest in the ongoing, one-sided courtship between shy Kermit and the boisterous, short-tempered coquette, Miss Piggy.

		While the Muppets have survived a few cinematic flops before, this film is bereft of all they represent--the endearing innocence, engaging silliness, and cagey humor of Jim Henson’s legendary variety series.
		In a desire to appear edgy and culturally relevant by the filmmakers (and executive producers Brian and Lisa Henson), the timeless spirit of the vintage Muppets is missing, as are the signature voiceovers by Frank Oz and Brian Henson.
		The Muppets are all about the unexpected, and madness hilarity, but they tried WAY too hard this time.

		In this 3rd movie of the Muppet series, they are hitting the road, and going to New York, but while they are taking Manhattan, I sure hope they return it when they are doen with it.
		This is the last Muppet movie that the late Jim Henson did, the series returned after his death with the Muppet Christmas Carol.

	alt.tv.muppets Frequently Asked Questions
		Muppets were specially designed to be on television and in the movies, using camera techniques as well as classical puppeteering techniques to create the illusion of life.
		This is because most Muppet performers are right handed and use their primary hand to control the head and face of the Muppet.
		In "The Great Muppet Caper," when Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo are flying to England, Kermit's crate is marked "Frog," Fozzie's is marked "Bear," and Gonzo's is marked "Whatever." Gonzo continues to assert that he is a whatever in _Muppet Treasure Island_.

		Disney's plan is to replace the Muppeteers ― artists who have performed these classic characters for decades ― with a production line of part-time puppeteers.
		If Disney continues down this road, the Muppet characters will become what Henson never wanted them to be ― a box of puppets that can get passed around, a collection of catchphrases that anybody can imitate.
		The people in charge of the Muppets are still working on this plan, and there's still time for them to change their minds.
