The Muppets are great! They are so weird, and silly,
and cute. They are a ragtag group of friends who’ve been all over the world and
back, and even when they split, it’s not long before they all come back
together again. Fantasy gets kooky in the world of Jim Henson’s Muppets. There
are no boundaries and everything that would normally be weird, is perfectly
normal and acceptable. Talking food, animals with animals as pets, interspecies
dating…when you write it out like this it actually sounds a little twisted and
sick, but it’s the Muppets and they can get away with it.
The Muppets use all their special qualities and
super oddness to entertain and even teach many subtle life lessons. In the world of the Muppets: bullying is
unacceptable, discrimination is intolerable, and hate acts and hate speech are
unthinkable. In a world where so many people are alike, but different from so
many others, it takes a group like the Muppets to show us how we can all get
along. A pig, a frog, a bear, an alien, and so much more have figured out what
the white man, the black man, the brown man, and so on are still working to
understand.
The Muppets make me laugh, but more importantly,
they make me think of unity. Unity, or the lack of, is a major theme developing
in the world of the Eternal Curse. It’s something so new to the series; even I
can’t wait to see where I go with it.
