Awesome / The Muppets Take Manhattan

Go To

  • Miss Piggy chases down a purse snatcher on roller skates that she borrows from Gregory Hines.
    • As soon as that dude grabbed her purse you knew he made a mistake. They even made special angry eyes for the Miss Piggy Muppet to express her rage. She tackles the dude from the top of the rock face he hid behind to go through her purse. Kermit recognizes her howl of outrage from across Central Park. And in a heartwarming capstone to it all, two onlookers to the whole thing help Miss Piggy gather up the stuff the creep pulled out of her purse.
  • Kermit shouting at New York, from the top of the Empire State Building, that he's gonna bring his friends back and they'll all make it to Broadway.
    "I'm still here, and I'm staying! YOU HEAR THAT NEW YORK? I'M STAYING HERE! THE FROG IS STAYING!"
  • Two words: "Bad Man."
  • The Rat Scat is a moment of awesome for the creators, with some truly impressive puppetry. The little tune Rizzo sings is catchy too.
