Uhm...Middle finger?

Ok,first of all,I'm not THAT familiar with the Muppets,so I don't remember the names of all characters.
In the beggining,when the green dude with the glasses and...no eyes,and his pink sidekick with the...big eyes go to Scrooge to ask for money for charity or whatever,and Scrooge throws them out,just before they exit the door, I have the impression that the pink dude...gives Scrooge the finger...Now,I know that this is impossible,since this is a Disney movie,but it looks like that...

No, he's just shaking his finger at him as in "Bad! Bad! Bad!"

Ok. But I'm telling you, it really looks like the other one...

LOL, a lot of other people have thought so, too, so you could be right. But when you flip someone the bird, you don't shake that finger at him and Beaker was definitely shaking the finger at Scrooge.

Then again, since he doesn't have a thumb (he only has three fingers), I wonder if that's why it looks like he's flipping him the bird.

And flipping the bird in a Muppet Movie which was produced by Disney?? Something meant for kids? If it happened, I think it was accidentally.
