The Evolution of Scooter (1976-present)
Image | As seen in | Year | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
The Muppet Show | 1976-1990 |
The original Scooter has a triangular head shape with rounded points, both in head height (with a rounded point on top) and mouth length (with a rounded point towards his nose area). This head shape, in contrast to later versions of the puppet, gives his face a more diamond shaped appearance in front view. | |
Muppet View-Master reels | 1979 only | For the View Master reel Meet Jim Henson's Muppets (as well as consecutive promo shots, later used for posters such as this one) a photo puppet of Scooter sports considerably shorter hair, a slightly thicker frame for his glasses, and a more pale, yet still shiny jacket. | |
Muppets from Space | 1999-2002 | For Scooter's first appearance since Richard Hunt's death, his head shape has changed noticeably. His lower jaw has been lengthened, but even more prominently, his head has lost height towards his hair-patch point and the triangular-rounded shape towards his nose area has lost it's inward curve on the sides of his face, providing him with an overall flatter, rounder appearance. | |
It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie | 2002-present | Scooter's head shape has further changed, making him appear even more flat-faced. His eyes are tilted farther back, giving him a more upward look when talking, rather than allowing him to focus on his counterpart. His track jacket has changed from the shiny, light green fabric to a dull, darker green material. | |
