The First Ending to 'The Muppets' Was Much Better

Hey, I like 'The Muppets'! Just like a society of sentient creatures, many of us virtually love 'The Muppets.' It's funny, it's self aware, it's sentimental. Do you realize what else 'The Muppets' is? It's a movie with no excellent ending. As Badass Digest highlights, that wasn't always the problem. Inside the final film (yeah, spoiler alert) the Muppets try to boost $ten million to be able to save their studio within the dastardly Tex Richman (Chris Cooper). They don't come anywhere near that goal, though -- after we learn inside the credits -- a correctly-timed bowling ball for the mind convinces Richman to supply the Muppets their studio back. Inside the original script, the Muppets do achieve their goal (by utilizing Statler and Waldorf), meaning the hastily develop ending of Richman just giving the studio back wouldn't are actually necessary. But what's a lot more interesting here -- again, according to Badass Digest -- might be the backstory of Richman's "maniacal laugh." Apparently, there is a removed scene that fills inside the back story of Richman's childhood passion for the Muppets, but Richman, for approximately he loved the Muppets, did not manage to laugh -- hence the verbalized "maniacal laugh." (This really is suggested round the 'Muppets' soundtrack within a lengthy version of "Let's talk of Me," the rap song that Cooper works inside the film.) The bowling ball for the mind within the finish in the film would restore Richman's laughing ability, giving him a cheerful ending, too. But, in our version, Richman's capacity to laugh is certainly an afterthought for the Muppets getting their studio back. You'll be able to listen fully version of "Let's talk of Me" below. The backstory portion happens at 1:20. [via Badass Digest] You'll be able to contact Mike Ryan on Twitter Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook
