Muppet Movie Screen Test


If you're like me (and you must be, because you're reading this blog), you're a huge fan of the Muppets, especially from their prime in the late 70s/early 80s. In that case, you'll love today's clips.

The following are screen tests conducted my Muppet Movie director James Frawley for the 1979 film. The tests feature Kermit, Fozzie, Miss Piggy, and Sweetums in improvised Muppet mayhem. These are a real treat. Enjoy!

Fan, not quite huge fan, of Muppets...their height might've been in the 1960s (though I'm fond of the better episodes of FARSCAPE and did like the attempt, perhaps more than the result, to move back into adult fare on SATURDAY NIGHT in the mid '70s).

Exploring more of the pre-Muppet Show stuff they've done is a continuing goal of mine--a goal at which I'm fulfilling at a snail's pace, I'm afraid.

Rowlf on "The Jimmy Dean Show" was my introduction to the Muppets.
