Sweetums was so freaky to me when I was little. That's what made me remember this movie. That and the "I'm Nineteen" song that I thought was so pretty (still do).
And Taminella was never seen and heard from again... How ironic, this would be her last appearance. While she faded from Muppet history, her minion rose to be a regular.
@keleic Well, in England, you have Queen Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, rather than King Philip. But in that case, it may indicate that he cannot become king. In other words, when Queen Elizabeth dies, her son Prince Charles will become king, rather than her husband. So maybe Malora's song Kermit can become king but not her husband? Bet you didn't think someone would spend so much time late at night analyzing a Muppet fairy tale, did you.
@lisababy85 I think it's whoever does the voice of umm...the two old guy puppets. I don't know their names other than the Marley brothers in Muppet Christmas Carol. I noticed that, too.
me n my bro were so scaredof sweetums but amazed n always watched wierd,always loved him the most but wouls always ask is sweetums in it then we loved it!!muppet show!!!ruled my rents would watch w us n die laughin in the mid to L8 80s n i think they were stoned the muppet show was for adults if u listen to things they say
Facilier is definitely going to end up like the evil witch in the new disney movie. But, while his cane is destroyed, he might get killed by the shadow demons he controlled.
I'm so glad this is on here! I always seem to remember watching things like this and my friends have no idea what I'm talking about. Geez, now I know what Melora felt like!
If I recall right, he started to do Sweetums voice and body for the Muppet Show, but at first only did his actions for Sweetums because he was the tallest.
Does ANYONE remember the Muppet Christmas Special in the 70's-80's where Santa's elves names were Hippity, Hoppity, PIng, Pong and Fred?? Where can I find it?!!!
Featherstone is bossy! with the whole anthems of Job thing and telling the audience how to react to EACH emotion. JERKY Featherstone! It was appropriately correct for them to boo at Taminella. They must probably know that she's a witch
i remember when i was small, i knew that i had once seen this scene of Robin and Kermit escaping from Sweetums in a dungeon, but i couldn't remember what it was from. It was a very fuzzy memory, i must have seen it when i was 2 or 3. Then years later, i saw this on Disney Channel, and the memory clicked into place, "ohhh, THIS is where i saw that! i thought i'd dreamed it!" lol
@Tybalt114 Kiki: I appreciate this kind of thing, me and my friends are even working to try and avenge Jim Henson. (Disney ruined it after he left..) Stuff like this though makes me wish I was around during the 70's. Just letting you know not all us kids overlook things like this.
I loved this, I was a kid when it came out and had the record, I was really beat on the Sweetums song and would dance all over the place. Thanks for putting this up!!!
This is too funny!! I had the audio record of this story thirty five years ago. I played it dozens of times as a little kid. But this is the first time I actually watched the video version.
I think I was a teen when this came on tv. Everyone in my family loved it. We still used "have a popover froggy!" in family conversations.
I LOVE KERMIT! I first saw Kermit on the Ed Sullivan show...he did his skit with the "worm" that turns out to be the long nose of a frog-eating monster.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This movie is so DUMB! First the inconsistancies: Robin says he hasn't been a frog long, then in his story states "long ago and far away"; At first he says he doesn't understand Melora, then in the castle he says he does! You can see the arms of the aquatic puppeteers under the frogs swimming in the well; the King's jokes are LAME; and some of Melora's words are NOT backwards at all! I know these things because I have loved this this show since I was a little boy back in the 70's!!!! Thanks!
No-not neccesarily. See Robin's curse could only be broken if a Princess befriended him and kissed him. It's sort of like in Disney's version of Snow White-Snow White can ony be awakened by true love's kiss. So when the queen falls off a cliff,the spell remains because it has to be broken by her true love.
I remember watching this years ago, and thinking whenever Sweetums talked..."That is NOT Richard Hunt!".
Much later, Sweetums claimed that he'd never hurt his best little buddy Robin, that he was only following the script, all in the interest of a paycheck. :)
Jim Henson was a genius, hands down. And I think it's kind of cool that Melora is a queen, but Robin stays a prince - was Henson a supporter of women's lib? ;-)
I thought that too! But Albert stayed a prince even after marrying Queen Victoria...so maybe it's the same thing....I don't know, but I love this movie!
ha, my mom remembered this before i did because it was a big part of my childhood and I'd forgotten. when i finally remembered i was jumping up and down and was like, ' yes! muppets! frog! prince!' man, i love this movie. (sweetums scared me too. still does) :)
