Things you wished they would have done in MFC

[AmazingMumford]

Is there any 2 charachters in A Muppet Family Christmas that you know would have made a perfect scene together but weren't used together? Here's who I think

Big Bird and Doc

Grover and Gonzo

Oscar and Doc

Prarie and Rowlf: They could have argued over who was gonna play the Piano in during the Sesame Street Pagaent

The Two headed Monster and Animal

Also I think it would have been good to include Telly in this special, He could have been worrying about what they were gonna do when they were stranded there,

Anyone else?

[Pug Lover]

I've sometimes wondered how Miss Piggy and Prairie Dawn would get along. :mad:

[AmazingMumford]

Well she was looking out the window when Miss Piggy had finally made it to Ma Bear's and she seemed pretty eager about it.

[McFraggle]

I agree, Grover and Gonzo would make an interesting combination. :)

[AmazingMumford]

I can see it now

Grover: Hey......... Froggy..... Baby................. (slaps Kermit on back)

Kermit: Sheesh.... Hello Grover, glad you could make it (looks at camera) oh boy...

Grover: Oh Froggy, how wonderful it's going to be spending Christmas Eve with you.

Kermit: Listen Grover, I'm not gonna be able to hang out with you much while your'e here, Iv'e got to.......... Help the Swedish Chef cook, yeah, he's got a big Christmas Dinner to make, and can't do it all by himself, and I have to help Mrs. Bear hang up the Decorations, and........... shovel snow outside.

Grover; (disapointed) oh

Kermit: But don't worry, Iv'e got a friend that you will get along with just fine. Oh Gonzo...........

Gonzo: Yeah Kermit

Kermit: This is my friend Grover from Sesame Street, please do me a favor, keep him company while he's here, get to know him, spend time with him (leans close to Gonzo and kind of whispers) keep him away from me.

Gonzo: Oh...... but Kermit, I'm really not in the mood to make a new Friend, Camilla might leave me for that Turkey fella, I might have to sleep on a hanger on a hook on the wall, the old guy with the dog hates me, and.....

Kermit: I'll give you a raise

Gonzo: Well since you put it that way......... (puts his arm around Grover and walks off) so........ your'e from Sesame Street huh? How's the weather there this time of year? Iv'e always wanted to visit there, hey do you think they'd like my act?

Kermit: that was easy, but it's gonna cost me.

[Kimp the Shrimp]

I Love it Amazing mumford Bean and Grover i think would be funny they are just blissful charcaters

[Beauregard]

And note: Link Hogthrob and Dr Strangepork are Missing!

[christyb]

Completely off topic but I wished they would've release the entire thing on video.

[Whatever]

I think it's perfect the way it is.

[christyb]

yeah the movie is. I just miss those missing scenes from my copy.

[Vic Romano]

I wish...
Gobo Fraggle didn't look quite so scary and despotic when he first appears so mysteriously and slow,
Sweetums was there and hung with Big Bird,
and Gonzo beat the bejeezus outta' the turkey for messin' with Camilla, I didn't like that turkey, boy.

[Beauregard]

Sweetums was way to big to fit. One large charcter was all they could squish into that living room. (And if they had Sweetums, why not Snuffy?)

Still, it would have been good... He'd look some lovely shaking snow out of his fur.

*wiggles with delight*

So, huggable.

[DanDanStrawberry]

I think a remake with BITBBH characters may well be necessary!!

[Beauregard]

And Moppotop, and Hoobs?

[Uncle deadly]

And note: Link Hogthrob and Dr Strangepork are Missing!

they arent in any movies, apart from link in MTI

[christyb]

They were in MTI where? (Man it's been forever since I've seen that)

[Docnzhoss]

they arent in any movies, apart from link in MTI

Actually, Link is in The Muppet Movie (sitting next to Piggy in the theater) and Muppets Take Manhattan (he cries when Kermit and Piggy are married).

Guy Smiley and Rowlf are very cool characters. Together, their conversation could have been priceless.

[Docnzhoss]

They were in MTI where? (Man it's been forever since I've seen that)

Link was in MTI. When Smollett first meets Benjamina Gunn on the island and she 'hi-yahs" him into the gong, Link is there looking down at Smollett and then Smollett says something like "old girlfriend".

[Uncle deadly]

yeh, they should have put some seaseme characters in,
the seaseme street gang are never in the new muppet movies anymore :(

[Vic Romano]

Ooh! What if the honkers made friends with Beaker!? That'd be funny. "Honk, honk, honk!" "Meep, meep, meep!" "Honk, meep, honk, meep, honk, honk, honk!"

[christyb]

Link was in MTI. When Smollett first meets Benjamina Gunn on the island and she 'hi-yahs" him into the gong, Link is there looking down at Smollett and then Smollett says something like "old girlfriend".
Ahhhh...yes. It's coming back to me now. (if I don't get that movie for Christmas I'm gonna be angry at my parents for not letting me buy it when I found it yesterday)(I bet everyone gets tired of me thinking to myself in these parentheses.)

[Beauregard]

they arent in any movies, apart from link in MTI
Actually Dr Strangepork is in MFS. He's at the breakfast table (I think)

[Uncle deadly]

Actually Dr Strangepork is in MFS. He's at the breakfast table (I think)

no way
i dont think he is

[Uncle deadly]

Ooh! What if the honkers made friends with Beaker!? That'd be funny. "Honk, honk, honk!" "Meep, meep, meep!" "Honk, meep, honk, meep, honk, honk, honk!"
hahahaha that would be sooo cool
they have to do that :eek: !!!

[Uncle deadly]

they have to do that :eek: !!!

[WhereisScooter]

Animal and Cookie Monster...CLASSIC, that's all I have to say

Also, I don't think Bean was part of the "muppet crew" at that point, hadn't he just been in Bunny Picnic at that point?

Apeaking of which, did Disney acquire the muppet productions such as Bunny picnin, emmet otter, Mr. whatever's christmas tree?

Also, does anyone out there have an unedited version MFC? I will sell my soul for a copy...write me and let me know if we can work out a deal. ;)

[christyb]

First off welcome to the forums. Secondly, go to the Buy,Sell, Trade section and post your request there. I don't have the full version or I'd help you myself.

[AmazingMumford]

How bout this one? The Count and Beaker. The Count could be like One Meep! Two Meeps! Three Meeps! Four Meeps! Lightining Strikes and Beaker runs away scarred.

[Beauregard]

No, no, lightning strikes Beaker! Even better!

[floydnjanicefan]

I believe that Link can be seen at the end of the MFC in the carol sing.

Also, (sidenote), Dr. Strangepork was in MFS at the end scene on the beach. Miss Piggy is talking to the camera, and then it pans to some other characters until it reaches Gonzo. Dr. Strangepork is one of those characters (and he is wearing his PIS uniform). He also appeared in a Christmas Carol in the scene with the Ghost of Christmas Present at Fred and Martha Cratchit's Christmas party. He may also be in MTM at the wedding scene, but I cannot remember specifcally...

[Beauregard]

Also, isn't he in the Muppet Movie? And Link too? At the begining in the movie theatre?

But, back on topic: I'd have liked to see more of Guy Smiley.

And also I'd have liked to see Grover irritate Fat Blue.

Also, I think it would have been fun for the Turkey to leave Camilla and like Miss Piggy. "Keep your hands to yourself, turkey!" (From TGMC) It would have fitted well.

[AmazingMumford]

And also I'd have liked to see Grover irritate Fat Blue.

Awsome Idea! This is what could have happened.

Grover approaches fat blue with a Present

Merry Christmas Sir!

Fat Blue: Oh no...... it's you again! Look I just want to enjoy my Christmas like everyone else here, without YOU ruining it for me.

Grover: But sir, I have come to give you this present that I bought for you sir. (hands fat blue the present)

Fat Blue: A Present? For me? Well how thoughtful......

Grover: Yes sir, tis the season of giving sir, peace on earth good will toward men, and all that good stuff.

Fat Blue: Well gee, mabye Iv'e had you wrong for all these years, let me just open this up and see what you got me.

Fat Blue opens the present, and there's a dress inside

Fat Blue: What is this? This is a girl's dress! I am not a girl! I am a BOY!

Grover: (looking all embarassed) Oh........ I am terribly sorry sir! That is for my little friend Prarie, Oh Dear, now I'm gonna have to rerap it, and I don't even know if Mrs. Bear has any extra wrapping paper.

Fat Blue: Look I'm just gonna go over there and grab a glass of Eggnog, and talk with those 2 elderly Gentlemen that just got here.....

Wait a Minute sir! THIS is your present (Pulls up another Present)

Fat Blue: Are you SURE that's for me

Grover: Sir I'm sure sure, I mean sir I'm sir sure, errrr, Sure I'm Sure sure, I mean YES this present is in fact for YOU

Fat Blue: Well........ okay....... (opens it up and looks amazed) Why..... why..... it's a Fruit Basket.

Grover: Oh boy.... I knew it, you don't like it, Your'e Alergic to fruit, I will have to take it back, Oh this is so terrible, (starts crying)

Fat Blue: No no, I LOVE IT! It's just what I wanted! And it's Beautiful! (Sets it down and gives Grover a Big Hug) Merry Christmas Pal........

Grover: Awww...... I just love Happy Endings

[Daffyfan2003]

I can see it now

Grover: Hey......... Froggy..... Baby................. (slaps Kermit on back)

Kermit: Sheesh.... Hello Grover, glad you could make it (looks at camera) oh boy...

Grover: Oh Froggy, how wonderful it's going to be spending Christmas Eve with you.

Kermit: Listen Grover, I'm not gonna be able to hang out with you much while your'e here, Iv'e got to.......... Help the Swedish Chef cook, yeah, he's got a big Christmas Dinner to make, and can't do it all by himself, and I have to help Mrs. Bear hang up the Decorations, and........... shovel snow outside.

Grover; (disapointed) oh

Kermit: But don't worry, Iv'e got a friend that you will get along with just fine. Oh Gonzo...........

Gonzo: Yeah Kermit

Kermit: This is my friend Grover from Sesame Street, please do me a favor, keep him company while he's here, get to know him, spend time with him (leans close to Gonzo and kind of whispers) keep him away from me.

Gonzo: Oh...... but Kermit, I'm really not in the mood to make a new Friend, Camilla might leave me for that Turkey fella, I might have to sleep on a hanger on a hook on the wall, the old guy with the dog hates me, and.....

Kermit: I'll give you a raise

Kermit: that was easy, but it's gonna cost me.

I agree with that. I often think about the similarities between Grover and Gonzo. Two blue, furry Muppets with very similar characteristics. It would be great to see them pal around with each other.

[Vic Romano]

How bout this one? The Count and Beaker. The Count could be like One Meep! Two Meeps! Three Meeps! Four Meeps! Lightining Strikes and Beaker runs away scarred.

No, no, lightning strikes Beaker! Even better!
OMG that would be beyond funny!

[Vic Romano]

As far as everyone missing, or not being there, you have to look REAL close, I've watvhed that thing a billion times, and I see new Muppets in there everytime that I didn't see before, especially when they are decorating in the background and at the end of the caroling in front of the fire. But the GREATEST moment is at the very end when Jim and Sprocket are washing the dishes and Jim says something akin to: "They're having fun... I like when they have fun." I cry like a baby every time I see that.
Also, I think it would have been fun for the Turkey to leave Camilla and like Miss Piggy. "Keep your hands to yourself, turkey!" (From TGMC) It would have fitted well.
These are some of the best ideas I've ever read.

[DanDanStrawberry]

And Moppotop, and Hoobs?

No idea what Moppotop is...but certainly ths Hoobs!!!

And I've had an idea. Statler and Waldorf...meet Elmo!!!

How amazing!!

[GelflingWaldo]

And I've had an idea. Statler and Waldorf...meet Elmo!!!
I don't think they would all survive that meeting. I think Statler, Waldorf, and Oscar the grouch are a much better trio.

[Beauregard]

No idea what Moppotop is...but certainly ths Hoobs!!!

And I've had an idea. Statler and Waldorf...meet Elmo!!!

How amazing!!
Mopotop is an English jim henson character from Moppotop's Shop.

[christyb]

Hmm...I almost wish they would have used a different voice for the turkey. He sounded so much like Rizzo that if I'm not constantly watching the screen (sometimes I have movies going on in the background) that I get confused. Other than that I would have liked to see more of Robin.

[Beauregard]

Robin had a lot.

Here's something.

Bert and Ernie didn't hae their own song in the carol melody at the end. How strange.

[christyb]

hmmm...I thought those two begun one of the carols. I may be mistaken though.

[AmazingMumford]

None of the Sesame Street charachters had their own part in the Caroling Medley at the end. Just the Muppets.

[Beauregard]

Or, maybe, just maybe, I am mistaken.

*P.S I wonder if anyoe's noticed that you and I keep talking nonsencse most of the time...*

[christyb]

You and me?? Well I knew that. LoL I also have a bad habit from straying from the subject.

[Beauregard]

Subject? What? There's meant to be a Subject?

[christyb]

I dunno I faintly remember there was one. LoL. :)

[Uncle deadly]

None of the Sesame Street charachters had their own part in the Caroling Medley at the end. Just the Muppets.

no, the count sings i saw three ships come sailing in

[Docnzhoss]

It would have been cool if Barkley showed up at some point to meet Sprocket and Rowlf (not that Sprocket and Rowlf's meeting wasn't cool enough).

Some others:
Bif and Sully meet Beauregard (or anyone for that matter)
Red and Scooter (Just because Red reminds me of MB Skeeter)
Animal and Frazzle (I know, I know, Frazzle wasn't there. But he could have been.)
Sam and the Fraggles
(Sam: You live in a rock?
Gobo: Well, yeah.
Sam: And you've never heard of the Muppets?
Wembley: Well, no.
Sam: Tell me something...are you decent Americans?
Mokey: Well, we don't know what an "American" is, but we are decent.
Sam: Decent, impressionable young minds. There's so much to teach you. Take me with you.
Boober: You scare me!)

[Beauregard]

Hmm, that's a thught. Sam didn't have much to do in this movie, did he?

Maybe he could have talked to Doc back when Doc was trying to make something of the wierdnes around him.

Sam: And what is a decent American like you, doing at a party like this.
Doc: Well, I was hoping for a nice, quiet...
Sam: THings are never quiet here with these, werdoes, quick pack your bags, you may yet escape them.

[Uncle deadly]

haha thats great beau!!! :attitude:

[Beauregard]

Thank you!

So, anyone else have any more ideas?

[Vic Romano]

Yes, I wish they'd show it more! That would be the best.

[Uncle deadly]

im still amazed by beauregards post haha.
the sam and doc thing is soo cool
hoohoohoo!
boy i need help! :crazy:

[Old Man Jenkins]

Boober and Beaker being chased by Sproket
Heehee

I would have liked to see Elmo say something, ANYTHING!

[Uncle deadly]

Yeh, its weird that elmo didnt get a line at all.
Maybe kevin didnt make it.
hahahaha oh beauregard, you crack me up!!! :)

[Uncle deadly]

ooh, Link is in a muppet family Christmas.
Its true you do see a new muppet every time you watc it! :halo:

[Beauregard]

Where? Where Link?

[Uncle deadly]

hes rwally hard to spot.
Its at the end when they are all doing the annual carol sing.
In one of the shots I think hes behind right of kermit and piggy.

[Docnzhoss]

Boober and Beaker being chased by Sproket
Heehee

Now that's hilarious!

Yes, Link is in the back (at the left of your screen) behind some Muppets at the final group sing-along. Link's a good guy. He don't get no respect.

[christyb]

hes rwally hard to spot.
Its at the end when they are all doing the annual carol sing.
In one of the shots I think hes behind right of kermit and piggy.
You're right he's a really hard spot and you only see him for a grand total of ohh....two seconds.

[Uncle deadly]

yup, Its a shame he aint in it apart from that.

[muppetmonster]

Hi, I'm a newbie, and I have some ideas:

I recorded the video on a tape, so I remember quite clearly every part.

Here are the things that I wish would have been at least added to the film:

1. Grover and Gonzo - I saw them at least acknowledge each other: once when Oscar told the other muppets of the news alert on the television, I saw Grover and Gonzo standing next to each other, and looking as if they were chatting, and another time when the Fozzie and Ms. Bear talked to each other about who was going to sleep where and they looked up at Gonzo and Animal, who were sleeping on the wall, Grover saw this and I saw him acknowledge them.

2. Ernie and Lew Zealand - First off, I have no idea why Ernie did not have his rubber duck. Second, Ernie and Luke could have paired. Ernie could have told Luke that the reason he can not sleep at night, is because he wants to be with Luke, instead of Bert, and Bert could go hang out with some other muppet. Ernie and Luke have lots of similarities not to hang out with each other. But, they look nearly identical, sound a little similar, the both of them have a toy that they play with, the both of them are happy-go-lucky, goofy/zany, are surprising, the both of them love to play tricks on other muppets, etc. Luke could also have introduced himself to Bert. However; since Ernie and Bert are opposites, Luke and Bert may hardly get along.

3. The Muppets and the Fraggles - Kermit and Robin were the only muppets who were introduced to the Fraggles. Why weren't all the others? I especially think that the following could have met: Scooter and Red, Big Bird and Mokey, Beaureguard and Boomer, Webbly and Beaker, and Goober and Gonzo, they have similar face and body structures, or at least similar structures.

4. Oscar and Statler and Waldorf - Oscar could have introduced his girlfriend, Grungetta, to Statler, and Statler could have introduced his girlfriend, Astoria, to Oscar, if Grungetta and Astoria were both in it. Oscar could also befriend Statler and Waldorf.

5. Herry Monster could have interacted with another muppet. Since, he is friendly, inquisitive, and likes to exercise. I can see him talking to at least some other muppets, if not many. I kind of see him talking to Crazy Harry. But, I do not know which of the "Muppet Show" muppets are exactly friends, except for the main muppets.

6. Cookie Monster and Animal - I know there was a scene in which Cookie Monster took the cookies from Janice's tray, and Janice asked Animal who it was, and Animal said someone he could look up to. But, there could have been much more interaction between the two muppets.

7. I also wish that more of the muppets from "The Muppet Show" could have been in here. But, oh well.

Anyway, I am sure there are a whole list. But, this is as much as I can think of.
