The Muppets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1124 words)
The word "Muppet" itself was said by Henson to have been created by combining the words "marionette" and "puppet"; however, Henson was also known to have stated that it was just something he liked the sound of, and he made up the "marionette/puppet" story while talking to a journalist because it sounded plausible.
Muppets are distinguished from ventriloquist "dummies", which are typically animated only in the head and face, in that their arms or other features are also mobile and expressive.
As there is no "eye store" from which they can be purchased, Muppet eyes are often made (as in the case of the original Kermit) from ping-pong balls, or from fishing floats (as in the case of the Fraggles).
Muppet Babies (515 words)
Muppet Babies had lived in a big house with their Nanny and had used their imagination to transport themselves to far off places from within their nursery.
