I'm curious

So to those of you who write stories or create characters in the Muppets universe, do you consider any Muppet Movies/series cannon events, or productions the muppets produced in universe??

Muppets Mayhem I like to consider as cannon events, but things like the 2015 series I think qualify as both (since they break up the episodes of that series with one on one interviews with the characters)

However, aside from the original Muppet Movie, I don't think I've ever asked myself if I consider any of the movies as cannon things that happened, or movies the muppets made in universe.

Asking because Walter is mentioned in parts of Hired Sparky, and I don't know if I should treat the movie he appeared in as something cannon that happened to the Muppets, or something Walter was hired to act in

Disney Parks Animatronic Tournament: Bracket B/Tier 2 Round 4

Figment: Journey Into Imagination/Journey Into Imagination with Figment - Epcot Disney World

Propaganda:

"Every Christmas since 2020 he wears a snowflake and Imagination logo sweater"

Statler and Waldorf: Muppet*Vision 3D - Hollywood Studios Disney World, Disney California Adventure (formerly)

Propaganda:

"Waldorf: “Do we have time to go to the bathroom before the next show?” Statler: “We can’t, you old fool. We’re bolted to the seats!” These animatronics are the next best thing to having the real puppets sitting there in the balcony doing what they do best--heckling the Muppets."

Have you guys seen that clip

Go off Kermit

[klapollo]

Obviously this is an adorable bit but I'm so struck by how different this is from so many little kid shows today like.......the muted colors. no background noise. no sound effects. you can literally hear Jim Henson breathing between his lines. Ernie is talking very slowly, meandering, letting the kids digest the info. it's a full minute before you get the payoff of it all. man

when gerard way sings "the broken, the beaten, and the damned" and when kermit the frog sings "the lovers, the dreamers, and me" they're talking about the same people btw

The plot of Macbeth was acted out by the Muppets. Miss Piggy as Lady Macbeth is the best thing I have ever witnessed and the only thing I really remember from it.
