Muppet wonders will never cease. I thought I knew or had seen every 90s Muppet show/special. Wrong. In 1995 Robert Downey Jr starred as Mr Willowby in this 30 minute Muppet Musical. He sings and dances!
Stockard Channing (with a Swedish accent?) and Leslie Nielsen are in it. Ii ts pretty mild overall, Ive just never heard another person talk about this.
Distribution: A dubbed NTSC DVD was released in Mexico.
That's it, that's the whole list! I willwatch it try to watch it.

a Sense and Sensibility adaptation.
My dentist gave me a sample of a toothpaste which has "Gum and Sensitivity" emblazoned across it, and I cannot stop reading it as some bizarrely tooth-focused corporate Jane Austen reworking every single time I use it.

1995? Wikipedia says RDJ's arrests for drugs started in 1996... def a phone in performance here. I wonder if Leslie Nielsen brought along his fart box?

I remember stumbling upon this and thinking I should watch it because Muppets and Leslie Nielsen, but then quickly changing the channel because it was kind of glurgy and just really dull and uninteresting.
