Muppets to the City

Muppets in the City is a 2020 American musical comedy film directed by James Bobin and Kirk Thatcher and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It stars The Muppets, in their first theatrical film since 2014's Muppets Most Wanted, along with Sam Rockwell. It is also the first Muppet film made after the departure of Steve Whitmire, who was fired from The Muppets Studio in 2016.

In a plot somewhat similar to 1984's The Muppets Take Manhattan, the Muppets travel to New York to stage one last ''Muppet Show. ''Unbeknownst to them, an enemy from Kermit's past returns with vengeance, and it's up to the frog and his friends to put a stop to him once and for all. Along the way, the Muppets reunite with several friends from their past, including several retired characters from The Muppet Show, several characters from Muppets Tonight, Kermit's old friends from Sam and Friends, the cast of The Jim Henson Hour, Kermit's childhood friends from Kermit's Swamp Years, the characters from SNL's Land of Gorch segments, and even Scooter's twin sister Skeeter from Muppet Babies (in her first official appearance in puppet form, and as an adult).

Meanwhile, the original Muppet Show sign has gone missing, and it's up to a search party of Muppets (Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter, Rowlf, Walter, Rizzo, Animal, Pepe, Robin, Sweetums, Camilla, and Uncle Deadly) to find it before it's curtains up on the show. Will they find the sign in time?

The film was released in the United States on September 24, 2020 (Jim Henson's 84th birthday) and received positive reviews from critics, praising the characterization and family appeal of the Muppets, the return of several classic Muppets, the film's nostalgic feel, the featured songs, acts and jokes, the Muppeteers' performances (especially the classic Muppets recast with new performers), and Rockwell's turn as Doc Hopper, though most criticised the six-year gap between this film and ''Muppets Most Wanted. ''It also raised over $300 million against a $70 million budget. This is to date the longest Muppet movie, running at over 2 hours long.

Trivia
This Muppet movie is unique in that it ends with a post-credits scene. After the reunion show is over, the classic Muppets leave and Beauregard cleans up the mess, Scooter receives a phone call. He answers the phone, then calls for the Snowths because the call is apparently meant for them. When the Snowths pick up the phone, the caller on the other end utters one last "Mahna Mahna." The final six notes of the song play, then the screen cuts to black.

Early on in production, the casts of Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock and Bear in the Big Blue House were considered for cameo appearances in this film, and even included in rough drafts of the story (scenes included Red Fraggle hugging an uncomfortable Miss Piggy and Cookie Monster conversing with Animal). However, Disney was unsuccessful in asking Sesame Workshop and the Jim Henson Company permission to use characters from the first two shows (Sesame Workshop did, however, allow the use of Bert and Ernie and the Sesame Street theme music, and the Jim Henson Company permitted the use of the Sam and Friends characters, characters from the Muppets' early commercials, and original puppets from their Puppet Up stage shows). Bert and Ernie do indeed make a cameo, asking for directions to the Happiness Hotel (a pit stop on the way to Sesame Street).

ALF also makes a cameo, speaking in the audience after the Pigs in Space sketch. Paul Fusco reprised ALF's voice, while his puppet was performed by Bill Barretta, with assistance from Carmen Osbahr and Michelan Sisti.

The yellow woman puppet from the Puppet Up version of "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face" is used for the film version of the song, alongside the rebuild of the original Yorick; the credits refer to her as "Kermitina" (performed here by Karen Prell against ex-husband Mike Quinn as Yorick). There were originally plans to have Wilkins in drag take Kermit's place, but were scrapped for unknown reasons. Likewise, the puppets used on That Puppet Game Show as Amber O'Neill and Mancie O'Neill (both of whom were recycled from generic Whatnots from The Muppet Show) appear to accompany Annie Sue in singing "Windy", as in the Puppet Up version of the sketch, replacing lines like "What the f**k are you doing?" with the less offensive "What the hell are you doing?" and "You already got the f**king job! You don't need to prove anything!" with "You got the job! What else do you have to prove, you idiot?!" both directed at Beauregard. Amber was performed by Grant Baciocco, while Mancie was puppeteered by Sarah Oh and voiced by Tim Lagasse. Additional "Windy" performers include James Murray, Brian Clark, Colleen Smith, Brian Jones, and Jess McKay.

Around 200 long-lost recurring and background Muppets were rebuilt for this film by Puppet Heap Workshop, in collaboration with the Jim Henson Company and the Jim Henson New York and Los Angeles Creature Shops. Paul Andrejco, the founder of Puppet Heap, and the workshop's designers and builders used original designs by Jim Henson, Michael K. Frith, Bonnie Erickson, and others as inspiration when rebuilding the classic Muppets, a project spearheaded by builder James Wojtal. These Muppets included the main cast of Sam and Friends, Wilkins and Wontkins (performed by Karen Prell (puppeteer) and David Rudman (voice) as Wilkins, and Bill Barretta as Wontkins), several long-lost characters from The Muppet Show, and an adult puppet version of Skeeter from Muppet Babies (using artwork from The Muppet Show Comic Book as inspiration), performed by Karen Prell; as well as a puppet version of Fozzie's comedy writer, Gags Beasley (performed by Mak Wilson).

Former Muppet performers Frank Oz, Steve Whitmire, and Fran Brill also contributed to the film in a non-performing capacity, most notably teaching newer puppeteers how to do the voices of their original characters. While on-set, Whitmire took time to reconcile with the Henson family.

This is also the first speaking appearance of Rizzo the Rat since Steve Whitmire's departure from the Muppets; the character is now performed by Peter Linz. Several of Whitmire's other Muppet characters, including Bean Bunny (performed by Frankie Cordero) and Waldo C. Graphic (voiced by Allan Trautman) also make return speaking appearances. Nigel the conductor, Thog, and Hilda also make their first speaking appearances in over 40 years, performed now by Ryan Dillon as Nigel, Peter Linz as Thog, and Julianne Buescher as Hilda. Dillon had previously performed Nigel in The Muppets Take the Bowl and The Muppets Take the O2, both in silent roles.

A new Camilla puppet was built for this film. To distinguish her from other Muppet chickens, she is given vibrant blue eyelids, a darker orange beak, fluffier feathers, grey highlights on her tail, and bulkier, reddish-orange feet with a sharper toe shape. Her wings are longer, and controlled by rods, another contrast to the other chickens. This helps Gonzo identify the real Camilla out of a large crowd of Muppet chickens.

The Camilla character is also given a more active role here (developing a much stronger personality) than in the other Muppet movies, as not only Gonzo's girlfriend, but also confidant and moral conscience. She assists Gonzo in preparing for his stunt of eating a rubber tire to "Flight of the Bumblebee" (by keeping track of Gonzo's eating habits), puts her wing on Gonzo's chest and comforts him as he tries to vomits chunks of the tire in the theater bathroom (not caring at all if her wings are puked on), slaps and kicks his back to help regurgitate the tire, accompanies Gonzo to the hospital (personally giving Gonzo a hypodermic needle shot), helps look for the missing Muppet Show sign before Gonzo does his act, leads all of the Muppet chickens against the villains, is the first Muppet to react with horror when Constantine wounds Robin, calls everyone to the little frog's limp body, and is the first to attack Constantine, tackling him like a football player and mercilessly pecking his eye while Gonzo, as angry as everyone else about what had happened to Robin, cheers for her to take down the evil frog and try to take away his gun. She is also one of the few Muppets (along with Rizzo, Pepe, and Sam Eagle) not to cry or sniffle during Robin's memorial, instead bowing before a picture of the frog (Pepe whispers, "Adios, mi amigo. You will be remembered, okay," Rizzo says, "Catch ya later, pal," and Sam salutes the picture like an American soldier). The end credits sequence shows her dancing with Chicken Liver from Sam and Friends while Gonzo fiddles.

When Gonzo finishes puking in the bathroom and comes out looking like a wreck, the puppet used for Gonzo is a slightly bigger replica of the Gonzo puppet used in The Muppet Show's first season, with a more polished look and yellow eyelids instead of green. Dave Goelz's voice also becomes similar to the season 1 Gonzo. Kermit is one of the Muppets to find Gonzo sick, so Camilla was puppeteered by Carmen Osbahr to Matt Vogel's vocals.

This film features Miss Piggy at perhaps her nicest (and most childlike). While she's still a bombastic diva with a large ego and a very violent temper, her more playful side is noticeably more emphasised here. In the film, she accompanies Robin on a fishing trip in a local park while Kermit is busy running his show out of genuine love for his nephew rather than reluctance, tap dances with Kermit and Robin (even donning frog-like flippers when dancing), uncharacteristically recommends Annie Sue to sing "Windy" in her place, is the first to rush over when Robin is fatally wounded by Constantine during the climatic battle (an act even Uncle Deadly, Statler and Waldorf find appalling), and hugs and smooches Robin when the frog is resurrected near the end. She gets really angry, and uses her infamous karate chop, only once, and that's to beat Constantine to a pulp when he calls the (temporarily) dead Robin "dull" compared to his fellow Muppets (this speaking of ill to the dead infuriates even the normally calm Rowlf), preceded by an equally furious Kermit stating, "This is for Robin". The end credits sequence shows her, Skeeter and Summer Penguin playing a friendly prank on Kermit.

Matt Vogel was assisted in performing Kermit (donning a black wig) by Michael Oosterom for "That Old Black Magic". Likewise, Colleen Smith assisted Ryan Dillon in performing Sam.

For "C'est Si Bon", David Quesal assisted Karen Prell on Wilkins, while the backup singers were performed by Leslie Carrara-Rudolph and Noel MacNeal.

For "I've Got You Under My Skin", Kermit was performed by Kevin Clash, assisted by Ronald Binion, while the backup singers were performed by John Tartaglia, Donna Kimball, and John Kennedy.

"Happy Feet" sees Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Robin dance in front of a black background which was digitally altered to a CGI dance studio in post-production. Additional performers, besides Matt Vogel, Eric Jacobson and Peter Linz, include Alice Dinnean, Drew Massey, Paul McGinnis, Mike Quinn, Bruce Lanoil, and Julianne Buescher.

Performers for "Conga" include Leslie Carrara-Rudolph (Miss Piggy puppeteer), Paul McGinnis (Miss Piggy assistant), David Rudman, Peter Linz, Bill Barretta, Matt Vogel, Tyler Bunch, Alice Dinnean, Julianne Buescher, Mike Quinn, Noel MacNeal, Drew Massey, Bruce Lanoil, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Tim Lagasse, John Tartaglia, Victor Yerrid, Allan Trautman, John Kennedy, Ryan Dillon, and Karen Prell.

In scenes where Delbert the La Choy Dragon and the Swedish Chef appear together, Peter Linz, who usually assists Bill Barretta on the Chef by serving as his hands, puppeteers the dragon (assisted by Stephanie D'Abruzzo), while the Chef's hands are those of Ryan Dillon.

The six chickens at the beginning of "Bohemian Rhapsody" were performed by Matt Vogel (Camilla), Julianne Buescher, Peter Linz, Alice Dinnean, Noel MacNeal, and Tyler Bunch. According to Gonzo, the other five are named Chico, Curly, Carmen, Cecilia, and Shemp. He also mentions Camilla having cousins named Edgar, Bil, Burr, Wayland, and Shari.

During the song "Sweetums", Noel MacNeal was assisted in performing the ogre by Sarah Oh (performing his right hand) and Kevin Carlson (operating his eyes via RC control). Alice Dinnean assisted Mike Quinn on Constantine.

Performers during "The Rainbow Connection" include Matt Vogel (Kermit), Eric Jacobson (Miss Piggy), Dave Goelz (Gonzo), Bill Barretta (Rowlf), David Rudman (Scooter), Peter Linz (Walter), Tyler Bunch (Fozzie), Noel MacNeal (Sweetums), Brian Henson, Kevin Clash (Clifford), Mike Quinn, Bruce Lanoil, Tim Lagasse, Ryan Dillon, Paul McGinnis, Karen Prell (Skeeter), Julianne Buescher, Alice Dinnean, Louise Gold, John Kennedy, Joey Mazzarino, Carmen Osbahr, Martin P. Robinson, John Tartaglia, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Allan Trautman, Victor Yerrid, Pam Arciero, Haley Jenkins, Donna Kimball, Colleen Smith, Michelan Sisti, Tim Blaney, Artie Esposito, Grant Baciocco, Jim Kroupa, Alison Mork, Kevin Carlson, Warrick Brownlow-Pike, Drew Massey, Frankie Cordero, Michael Oosterom, James Murray, BJ Guyer, Rickey Boyd, Sean Johnson, James Godwin, Vicki Kenderes-Eibner, Sarah Oh, Nathan Danforth, Dorien Davies, Lara MacLean, Lisa Buckley, Spencer Lott, Marc Petrosino, Patrick Johnson, Brett O'Quinn, Heather Asch, and Jennifer Barnhart.

The film is dedicated in memory to longtime Muppet builder Tim Miller, who passed away in 2019. He helped build many characters, including the original Clifford and Chip, as well as Gobo and Sprocket from Fraggle Rock.
