The Great Muppet Caper

After watching a movie with your children or students, we encourage parents and teachers to look for education opportunities to teach with movies. Here are a few discussion topics that can help with lesson plans or teaching in the home.

When Miss Piggy is accused of stealing Lady Holiday’s necklace, Fozzie is willing to believe she is guilty because he knows that she previously lied about her identity. Why does a history of past wrongs cast doubt on someone’s future reputation? Kermit comes to Piggy’s defense and says lying and stealing are two different things. Do you agree?

Muppet creator Jim Henson has a cameo appearance in the film—look for him in the restaurant scene.
