Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): Just as Gonzo sails away with the balloons, he flies over the line of bunting banners twice.
  • Jim Henson was determined to use the larger budget of a feature film to push the technological limits and capabilities of puppetry. One of the most difficult feats (and one that appears deceptively easy on-screen) was making Kermit ride a bicycle.
  • The film was an analogy for Jim Henson's rise to fame.
  • Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When Kermit is riding his bike down the street at the beginning of the movie, you can momentarily see two strings on the front and back of the bike.
