Notes

• This episode refers extensively to the Creature Shop movie Labyrinth, and also features footage from The Witches.

• The animated portions feature the Muppet Babies as characters from the film, and incorporates clips with the babies' voices dubbed over the original. In one scene, Piggy runs into Rowlf and Fozzie sharing a joke book, a reference to The Four Guards. Later, Piggy runs into Gonzo as Hoggle (based on his library book about goblins) and takes Piggy on her "journey" to find the missing book. Along the way they run into Animal (as Ludo).

• Piggy also encounters Scooter, who having made a caterpillar costume, now becomes The Worm.

• Meanwhile, Kermit imagines himself as a mouse during the episode, and the cartoon cuts into footage from The Witches.
