Welcome to Muppet Wiki!
The Moopets is a Muppet tribute band headlined by "original Muppets cast member" Fozzie Bear seen in The Muppets. The group features thug doppelgangers of famous Muppet characters representing Miss Piggy, Kermit the Frog, Rowlf the Dog, Janice and Animal. The most notable member is Miss Poogy, who temporarily becomes a member of The Muppets. When Fozzie leaves the group, he is replaced by a Moopet bear.
The Moopets are seen performing a variation of "The Rainbow Connection" at a casino in Reno and as villains later in the film, assisting Tex Richman in his plan to defeat the Muppets.
The only Moopets that have speaking roles are Miss Poogy and the Fozzie Moopet. Although the Moopet version of Janice can briefly be heard during the film's epilogue when they are demanding money from Mr. Richman.
T-shirts of "The Moopets" were given away as production gifts.
