celebrity cameos

were there less celebrity cameos in this one or are many of them British actors that I don't know? Seems like there were so many more in the Muppet Movie and that was half the fun for me, the Muppets being the rest of course.

Lady Holiday was played by Diana Rigg, best known as Mrs Peel from the avengers.

The guy in the park is played by Robert Morley, who's a famous British actor. And John Cleese of Monty Python has a cameo too.

Illegitimi non carborundum.

Peter Falk - best known forthe old tev series COLUMBO - shows upin the park.

Peter Ustinov - old character actor and the voice of Dr Snuggles - drives a truck that Miss Piggy steals.

And of course there's also Oscar the Grouch from SESAME STREET.

There were a few, but definitely less than in the Muppet Movie.

John Cleese, Peter Ustinov, Robert Morley, Peter Falk, and of course both Jim Henson and Jerry Nelson (both in human form), along with Jerry's daughter Christine.
