Thanks to the modern miracle of Google Video, this film and its follow-up are now available to view--if you even know they are out there. Considering that no one has yet reviewed either one, it's very likely no one is reading what I am writing....hmmm....well, just in case anyone ever reads this, here is my review for the first film Henson and his company did for Wilson's Meats. I assume this was not made for the general public, but for a Wilson's company meeting.
The film is an amazing time capsule that anyone who likes the Muppets ought to see. You'll get to see nice behind the scenes shots of the early muppeteers--including Frank Oz with a full head of hair! While this could have just been a dry and boring pep talk, it was amazingly clever, sarcastic and funny throughout. Plus, to make low-brows like me happy, a bit of violence as well!! This is actually one of the funniest Muppet productions I have ever seen--including from among their Muppet Show episodes--it's that funny.
See this film!
