For "The First Time It Happens", "The Great Muppet Caper" is the second Muppet film to be nominated for an Academy Award. It is the last to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song until "Man or Muppet" from "The Muppets", but "The Muppets Take Manhattan" is the last until "The Muppets". "The Muppets Take Manhattan", though, was nominated not for Best Original Song, but for its score.
Whenever I listen to the song "The First Time it Happens", my head is always up in the clouds. I want to dance with my man, as soon as I win his heart!
I wonder what happened to all the photos Gonzo took at the supper club that he promised to send to the dinner guests? Hope they didn't get destroyed like the Nicky photo.
@msaad823 There are people from different countries living all over the world... there are especially more if it's a country that speaks mostly the same language that they do.
Now, I was always confused about this; did they overexpose the PICTURE or the NEGATIVE? Because if it was just the picture couldn't they just develop another one?
@BlackHallow55 Yeah that is him! There is thing I'm very confuse that he had a daughter Named Christen Nelson and In the muppet central interew Jerry said he had a step daughter that leads me with one questen.
Dose Jerry Nelson had 1 daugther or 2 daughters? Just asking O.K.
@RealTime88 Don't forget putzpah! Plenty of bad movies these days offer all of those, but none of them really have a few guys who said "Y'know what would be a crazy idea? . . . Let's do it, and to Hell with who doesn't like our idea!"
@mermaidamp Thumbs down. Christine Nelson (Muppeteer Jerry Nelson's daughter, that's him walking with her) passed away before she got to see herself in this movie. She's not stupid.
@mermaidamp The father and daughter are portrayed by Jerry Nelson and his daughter Christine Nelson. This was Christine's only role in the movies before she passed away from cystic fibrosis.
@gnrrrg They should make a men's club just for guys who have some sort of romantical thing with Miss Piggy! Best way to sort the GOOD actors from the prettyboys!
The song is called "The First Time", and it received an Academy Award nomination in 1981 for Best Song. It was written by Joe Raposo, who is better known for his "other" song for the Muppets, "(It's Not Easy) Bein' Green"
6:56-6:59 and 7:02-7:05 Jerry Nelson and his deceased daughter make a cameo appearance.
