The Muppet Movie - End Credits (Alternate Version)

This is a rare clip from the 97-minute UK cut of 'The Muppet Movie', shown only in British theatres in 1979 and once on VHS. This scene features additional Crazy Harry explosions not included in the US/international cut as well as a different soundtrack over the credits.

[@MattJohnsonA]

Fun fact: director Tim Burton is one of the many puppeteers in the closing scene.

[@ZNKChannel]

He played Nigel the conductor.

[@thekingof8]

John Landis was Grover and animation writer Earl Kress was Ernie.

[@shaneworden63]

Don't forget Mike and Patty Peraza who are Disney animation veterans. They were Emmet and Ma Otter from the Jugband Christmas special. Also, they were classmates at CalArts before they're married. I find it extremely astounding that some of the CalArts members at the time got their dream opportunity to work with THE Jim Henson (aside Walt Disney, my idol) for the fantastic tribute to him in the final rainbow shot.

[@shaneworden63]

And also Ed Ghertner from Disney. I just knew from one of his interviews. I wonder to myself, what character did he get to perform for the shot? Too bad the extra finale puppeteers are not credited because the late 70's is the time when closing credits jumped in the bandwagon. It's really awesome to see some of the people discuss about their memories of working with Mr. Henson and his main puppeteers for the shot. It is perfect.

[@shaneworden63]

I know from the comments in the Jim Henson tribute page in Mike Peraza's blog that Paula Sigman from Disney Character Voices had also got the gig too. What character did she act out? And also Gregory Williams from the LA Guild of Puppetry. Which character did he get the role as?

I bawled my eyes out yesterday when I found the lyrics to the song on an old google doc I had. I love muppets so much. Whoever tells me that it’s childish, has a punch to the face coming to them. I almost we teared up at them singing the ending. Also the credits are hilarious.

Evil Cane flips the switch to start Pomni's Execution (Evil Cane flipping the switch cut in the Netflix version) 1:16The whole set comes crashing down like a domino effect and the characters begin to get erased. 1:28 We see a view of everyone running out of the aquarium in the lobby because the big tank will burst and flood the streets soon, we also see Pomni's execution on a projection screen (replaced with a video of all the characters getting erased in the Netflix Version). After this, we see the Explosions Master pulls some switches. The Machine that puts the characters into the cellar begins exploding, thus freeing the characters. 1:30 Alphie sets off explosions, and the Explosions go off everywhere. The whole gang watches all the explosions. He even proceeds to stop the execution. 1:43 The final explosion results in Evil Cane getting defeated, and then Evil Cane explodes, and at the same time, the big tank bursts, and we see the gang watching the hole in the studio. Alphie congragulates himself for saving Pomni. 2:08 The gang joins together as a real rainbow shines down into the hole, singing together, with all of the characters from Glitch's shows. 2:55 One of the characters rip thru the projection screen and the gang share their thoughts. 5:40 The candy gator says "Go Home! Go Home! Bye bye..." And faints. After this scene: We see a scene where Pomni says goodbye to the gang and leaves the circus, thus starting a new life. "Your New Home" Plays. We zoom out, to reveal the world, the computer, and finally... The Words "The Amazing Digital Circus". Then, the credits roll. After this, we see the logos. In the Fanmade Nickelodeon version if DNA Productions along with O entertainment got revived, after seeing the Gooseworx and Glitch logos, we see the O Entertainment Logo, in which we hear someone say "O!", and the DNA Productions Logo. This time, we see the Missing Paul version, in which we see that Paul isn't there and we hear a man saying "Paul?".

i have only ever seen this ending how is the other one different?

[@BoBoBrainGuyAndPearl]

+SlapFaces1 The credits music is MUCH MUCH louder to the point where you can't hear anyone.

[@Blossomadorable]

+SlapFaces1 The music is too loud, and you can't hear the dialogue.

[@ToonReel001]

The explosion sequence is shortened in most later releases. Also the music drowns out most of the voices in the credits sequence and is a shorter sequence looped over a couple of times.
