Alternate IntroductionEdit

I watched a little bit of the beginning of this on you tube today, to check something out. I recorded a Nickelodeon airing of this special, which, at the beginning, the Tales from Muppetland ttle card appears before the title appears, and a voice-over is heard saying "Tales from Muppetland presents The Muppet Musicians of Bremen". But on you tube, the voice-ove risn't there, and neither is the "Tales from Muppetland" card. I rented the original (and so fa ronly) video release a long time ago, before taping it, and thouhgt there was somethign different about the beginning. So, does anybody know whetehr that card was in the original airing and removed from the original video release (though I don't know what was used when it was uploaded on you tube), or if maybe it was added at some point? I don't know if any of us have a recording from the original broadcast, or if the original aired version can be viewed at The Paley Center for Media, but I hope that somebody knows. I'd like to note it on the page, but don't know how to word it.

And by this token, I wonder if the "Tales from Muppetland" card was originally in The Frog Prince, or added later on, or removed from the original video release. it's weird that they would be removed like this on video, especially since the Tales from Muppetland title was used for the laserdiscs. I also wonder if a Tales from Muppetland credit ever appeared in Hey Cinderella! (I was surprised not to see this when I first saw it on Nickelodeon, and it's not on the Jim Henson Video release). --Minor muppetz 01:50, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

The Tales from Muppetland series appears to have been distributed as a package by the studio in the 80s, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was just added at that time. Like you said, I don't think there are many people who have the original broadcast to tell for sure. —Scott (talk) 05:34, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
