TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

This marks the first major Muppet project made without the original Muppet creator, Jim Henson. It also marks the first film appearance of Kermit voiced by Steven Whitmire instead of Jim Henson.
Steven Whitmire was very nervous about taking over the voice of Kermit and he claims the night before he recorded the songs that Kermit would sing in this movie he had a dream about the late Jim Henson in which he met him in a hotel lobby and voiced his concerns about taking over the role. Henson reassured him he would do just fine, and Whitmore claims this gave him the confidence to go in record the songs the next day.
The dog dressed in the suit seen in the beginning and end of this film, is Sprocket from another Jim Henson TV show called Fraggle Rock.
Before deciding on Michael Caine, numberous actors were considered for the role of Ebenezer, including George Carlin.
There are a variety of stores whose names have special meaning in this film. One of the store's is named: "Micklewhite", named after Michael Caine whose real name is Maurice Micklewhite. Another is named "Statler and Waldorf" after the Muppet hecklers, who can be seen in this movie as the Marelys.While another is named "Duncan & Kenworthy" named after Duncan Kenworthy a producer of Muppet films and co-creator of Fraggle Rock.
