Pigs in Space (animated)

Pigs in Space was an animated incarnation of Pigs in Space seen on Little Muppet Monsters. The recurring segment was featured in all three episodes of the short-lived series. The segments are presented as flipbook stories written by Boo Monster.

Like its Muppet Show predecessor, the segment featured the ongoing exploits of Captain Link Hogthrob (voiced by Bob Bergen), First Mate Piggy (Hal Rayle) and Dr. Julius Strangepork (Greg Berg) aboard the Swinetrek.

The animated Swinetrek crew also appeared in the final Muppet Babies episode "Eight Flags Over the Nursery" using footage from the Little Muppet Monsters episode "Space Cowboys."

Strangepork has invented 'The Transporker' to transport pork to anywhere in the universe. Link and Piggy get transported, but with their body parts all in the wrong order.
