Based on...

The "based on" credit has been constantly added and removed from the film's infobox, so I'm bringing up this topic, because I think we should reach a consensus on its inclusion. The film is not based on a book or other existing media form, but it is based on characters and elements directly tied to The Muppets, including The Muppet Show and the subsequent films. Also, the end credits DO cite a credit; "Based on Disney's Muppet Properties and Characters".

I'll be fine with whatever is agreed upon. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 20:50, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I support the inclusion of the "based on" credit. Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 23:48, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is no "based on" credit in the film or on the poster associated with the writing credits. There is "Based on Disney's Muppet Properties and Characters" included in the end crawl, quite separate from the writing credits. That reflects Disney having bought the Jim Henson company long after he created the Muppets. The infobox "Based on" field is for authors/writers, not companies that own properties. Most importantly, the credit does not say "Based on The Muppets by Disney" as the infobox now shows. That should be removed. - Gothicfilm (talk) 15:09, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Robin the Frog

I don't understand why Robin the Frog can't be credited. I'm sure Matt Vogel puppeteered him for that short cameo he made. -- 134.241.28.252 (talk) 00:10, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Background Muppets

In this edit I removed content submitted by 104.228.245.121, namely the inclusion of a list of Background Muppets. I removed it on the basis that we shouldn't be including indiscriminate lists for what are effectively the Muppet equivalent of movie extras. The WikiProject Film community doesn't make a habit of including the names of extras in movies, because this information is not vital to our understanding of the film.
