How funny is that? Kermit just grabbed her boob at the very start.LOL! so love them both.Miss Piggy has always been my favorite then it's Kermit.

@luccaskunk: Yes they do. But, in Muppets Take Manhattan, although the marriage was the focal point of the "Manhattan Melodies" stage show they--as actors in the film's plot--were shooting, the fact that Piggy convinced a real priest to conduct the ceremony leaves the door open as to whether the wedding was legit. Throughout the 90s, Piggy said that, when not in the public eye, she & her frog are happily married, yet when in public, Kermit must deny the marriage for his fans' sake.

@luccaskunk: They do. Uncle Walt confirmed this for his & wife Lillian's mice alter-egos in 1933. Sure, Jimmy MacDonald, Wayne Allwine, & Bret Iwan have all voiced Mickey, but as Jimmy told Wayne, "Remember, you're just filling in for the boss", referring of course to Walt himself. Ditto for the pig & frog. In public, the two couples are merely endless lovers, but in the eyes of the studio--per Muppets Take Manhattan or things like Kingdom Hearts--the pig & frog and mice are wed.

@luccaskunk: But they're treated like living people. Same with Mickey & Minnie Mouse. To quote Uncle Walt himself from 1933, "People've been asking him this question, but for all intents & purposes, Minnie is his leading lady." Meaning that when the situation calls for it, they're boyfriend & girlfriend or husband & wife. "But in the eyes of the studo, they're married. Really." Thus explaining the wedding references/merchandise.

@Nertrender No they don't I think we just have to assume. Besides it keeps more people interested if they don't come right out and say it.

[Nertrender]

@pinkflower7783 all right.  They just don't make it that clear

[luccaskunk]

@pinkflower7783 When I was a child, I saw them get married. If I am to be a child again, I have to ask a question. Did they get divorced and not tell anybody?

[pinkflower7783]

@luccaskunk So what their fictional characters? Be a child againf or a moment sheesh!

[pinkflower7783]

@Nertrender By the studios standards they're in fact married. It's like Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

[picklesperfect]

I choked on the toast I was eating when Kermit decided to cop a feel LOL

[DangoMokona]

I love when kermit said coy!

[nellie2581]

"Kermie, put some clothes on"

[nellie2581]

Letters to Santa was so funny like 3 or 4 years ago

[nellie2581]

One of the cutest couples

[AmorettiFeather]

I just saw the Muppet Movie and I enjoyed it, and they actually made a reference to their wedding! Well, it seems that they did not get married (though Miss piggy wanted to) But they keep a photograph of that scene, and it seems Piggy bought a house for them XD and Kermit takes care of it. But well, it has very cute moments between them in the movie :) Y enjoyed those scenes a lot :)

[veggietalesfan65]

Goodness I needed this laugh! :D

[Nertrender]

@luccaskunk okay. that's true, but it kind of misses my point. I am just saying that since Disney and the Henson people have decided that piggy and Kermit aren't married than they aren't.

[luccaskunk]

@Nertrender about the SW Holiday Special: to me the prequel trilogy confirms that George Lucas doesn't know what he's doing and doesn't know how to make an interesting story. He should be just as ashamed of the prequels as of the holiday special. It's obvious to me that the studio not letting him have full reign over the original trilogy was the only thing keeping the original from sucking too.

[Nertrender]

@luccaskunk considering that they haven't acted like they seem to deny the marriage I would say that it is non canonical. like star wars holiday special.

[luccaskunk]

@Nertrender I don't remember the movie that well... But I don't remember anything explicitly stating that they weren't really married. I do remember the trailers advertising it... But what people keep saying is "it was a movie, so it didn't count" and that isn't quite enough to justify if fictional characters really got married within their own continuity or not... if it happened within a setting that the movie's own characters considered to be a fictional setting then I don't know.

[Nertrender]

@luccaskunk so, you disagree with the idea of a play with in a play? If there is a movie about a rising star and that star plays in a movie does everything that happens in that movie also happen to that character?

[luccaskunk]

@Nertrender I'm inclinded to disagree. They're just fictional characters. They don't have a life outside of the camera.

[Nertrender]

@luccaskunk But they characters that play characters. There are tons of movies and tv shows about performers. the muppets are toy performers who play characters.
