Obscure Muppet Moments

[mneme]

After many years, I've finally seen (and own) an obscure Muppet musical that I grew up listening to: The Frog Prince.

Much fun, and even quite a bit of found filk here (in particular, M'Im Inteen and "Frogs")--with much of the asthetic of The Court Jester, only with muppets. Most quotable (aside from songs):

"Robin, I'm sorry, but this is too hard for just two frogs."
"Kermit, you're right. We need more frogs!"

Oh, I loved this musical as a kid. I had the whole musical on 33 1/3 RPM vinyl, and I listened to it a lot.

To this day, I can say to my sister "Bake the hall in the candle of her brain" and she knows what I mean.

The second I read this, I said "BAKE THE HALL IN THE CANDLE OF HER BRAIN!"

And someone beat me too it.

Now I want to see this... I feel like I've heard of it before (as I'm a fan of pretty much all things muppet-y) but have definitely never seen it. I'll claim that I was too young to have seen it, as that's the most likely reason.

I've never even heard of this before.

Which is kind of strange, since my entire immediate family are huge Muppet fans.

Around the same time they also made The Musicians of Bremen. It isn't as good but is still well worth seeing.

I'm going to have "Frogs" running through my head all weekend now. "The life of a frog is the life you should choose."

Interstingly, this was the movie that decided Jim Henson that Kermit was a frog. Prior to that he might have been Kermit the lizard.
