[SteveCarras]

Very sad that the Muppets were watered down by 1984 on that Muppet Babies show. The REAL muppets were classsic...:-)

[cstoczyn]

@SteveCarras GNARLY!!!!

I Think to answer your question of who Performed the princess (It's just a guess but I Could be wrong) Would be Jerry Juhl! When You think about the only muppet voices you would hear from the 60's would come from Henson, Juhl and Sometimes Frank Oz. but it might be possible that Jim's Wife performed her.

[cstoczyn]

@Pikachu4352 RIP Jerry Juhl

[cstoczyn]

@Pikachu4352 Long Live Jerry Juhl!!!!

Apparently those ogre's legs are the legs of a certain Mr J. Henson

[NaiTaiDai]

Scooby Doo?

[cstoczyn]

@NaiTaiDai Yep

[disneynut06]

Ah, Kermit--once a very versatile performer, always a very versatile performer.

[cstoczyn]

@disneynut06 Right About That

[grecomic]

Looks like the minstrel costume possibly inspired Kermit's ubiquitous fringed collar.

[kc86er]

@grecomic Kermit's collar made its debut in "Hey Cinderella!" I'm not sure what his collar is supposed to be about, but I love it.

"The last few have been a tad threatening...."

"Maybe they were a tad HARSH."

"She said she'd destroy the castle, burn the countryside, poison the river....and turn everybody purple..."

"Well I didn't REALLY mean it..."

"Well she probably didn't REALLY mean it..."

"I DID TOO!"

[cstoczyn]

@NaiTaiDai LOL

[TServo2049]

Great...it's just a shame that the original color master tape no longer exists...

[Maestrojosh87]

I've got no Ans-where!

[doctorwhoobawooba]

coooooooool, you rock because of your kind donations of classic jim henson material to youtube :)

[darkangel2347]

I hope that these rare specials appear as bonus stuff on seasons 4 & 5 of the Muppet Show DVD's.

[FLPman]

wish we could find this on dvd

[SunnasChariot]

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. The Muppets were big in my house growing up with my sisters and now my little nephews and niece get to experience Jim Henson's legacy of genius, too.

[SpelCastrMax]

You are my hero for posting this!!!!!!

[cygnusXhaust]

[cygnusXhaust]

[FLPman]

[mylovelydame21]

WOW! I never knew this existed! Old school muppets... nice.

[invisibleisland]

I saw this at the museum of television and radio in New York. It was awesome to see it on the big screen.

[fizzybeantwigget]

I've been dying to see this for ages!! Thanks for posting it, if only I could get a dvd copy. Oh so many muppet tidbits that aren't available.

[wiley207]

MAN, this old-school Muppet goodness is pretty cool. Who voiced the princess, BTW? It definitely sounded like an actress. I'm guessing Jane Henson, since they didn't hire Fran Brill yet

[staceygordon]

it was probably Jim's wife, Jane.

[ErnieandBert1]

Either Jane Henson or Robin Reed.

[cstoczyn]

@ErnieandBert1 IDK
