Day 2 of muppettational May art challenge!! Draw your favorite moment of the Muppet Movie!!

Of course my favorite moment in the muppet Movie is meeting the Electric Mayhem band in the church!

Of course since muppets mayhem came out there was a time that Lips was around before the band moved into the church supposedly..so I had to of course add Lips’s charm to the church even if it looked a bit different lol.

Muppet Fact #136

Muppets Haunted Mansion was a project about 30 years in the making.

Originally, it was reported in 1991 that Brian Henson planned on creating several muppet holiday specials after his father, Jim Henson's death in 1990. This project fell through and the next time anyone heard word of a Halloween muppet special was in 2009, a few years after Disney aquired the franchise. Even though a 2010 release date was announced for the Halloween project, it was eventually cancelled. Finally in May of 2021, it was announced that a Halloween muppet special based on the Disney ride The Haunted Mansion was in the works. The special was released today, October 8, 2021, on the Disney+ streaming service.
