Cops
From Muppet Wiki
The Cops are the resident police force in MirrorMask. A troop of red beetle-like creatures with legs like stilts, the cops arrest Helena on the bridge in the City of Light, mistaking her for The Princess. They drag her before The Prime Minister, where her true identity is explained.
Though initially sketched to more closely resemble actual policemen, as the design stage progressed, they were "so far away from any police force on the planet" that dialogue was added in which the terms "sergeant" and "officer" were used, to more clearly communicate their function.[1]
The troop consists of eleven officers, though only four have speaking roles, all voiced by Lenny Henry.
