jeriendhalApparently in The Muppets, the effects department digitally erased the rods manipulating the muppet's arms.
WHY?
Still want to see the movie though.

The Muppets status as a cultural icon (seperate from their Sesame Street incarnation) has been on the wane, or even completely off the map at times, since the death of Jim Henson took the wind out of the company. Disney has been floundering ever since buying JHP and the rights to Muppets, trying to figure out what to do with them. The plot/metaplot of "We're still relevant, darn it!" in The Muppets only reflects that.Though I'm not sure how to bring them up to full relvancy in our current culture without another weekly series along the lines of the original Muppet Show to make them truly prominent in kids' conciousnesses again. The variety show format is long dead anyway, and I don't see how they could work as a sitcom.
