HAPPY HOLIDAY FROM THE MUPPETS
10:48 AM Ramblings of Christina - Rant Rave Roll
If you haven't seen The Muppets movie yet, you really should go. I though it was great and I loved sharing a favorite from my childhood with my kids. Here's a few fun Muppet facts from the film:
PRETTY PIG - A total of 12 different costumes were made for Miss Piggy—more costume changes than any other actor in the film.
TOP TEACHER - Amy Adam’s character Mary is a teacher with 16 students. Thus, no less than 16 perfect apples sit on the edge of the stellar teacher’s desk.
ALL IN THE FAMILY - Choreographer Michael Rooney is the son of Mickey Rooney, who appears in the film in a cameo role. This is the first time the two have ever worked together on a film.
MINI ME - Muppet versions of Gary/Jason Segel and director James Bobin were created.
HIGH FASHION - Miss Piggy had shoes made for her by Christian Louboutin and a dress by Zac Posen, which she wears in the finale scene.
SEEING GREEN - Disney’s “The Muppets” was a green set (in more ways than one) with an environmental steward who made sure the proper recycling receptacles were utilized on set. All of paper products were made from recycled materials and were compostable. The production also provided each crew member with aluminum refillable water bottles to cut down on the use of plastic bottles and paper cups. Water was readily available on set for cast and crew to fill their personal water bottles.
MAKING HIS DEBUT - Walter was a character conceptualized by Jason Segel specifically for Disney’s “The Muppets.”

I took my son to see this and loved it so much I went back a second time by myself and got even more out of it (I didn't have to 'shush' anyone)

Dang! If Miss Piggy can wear Louboutin, I'm going to have to find some!
