The
Muppet Babies

The Muppet Babies live in a large nursery watched over by Nanny, the only human character in the show that appears on a regular basis.

The babies have active imaginations, and often embark on adventures into imaginary worlds and perilous situations from which they are eventually returned to reality by some external event, such as Nanny coming to see what the noise was.

They are constantly finding creative ways to entertain themselves and learn to work together to solve problems and survive their wild-imagined adventures.

Each episode included a single storyline. Usually the babies were confronted with a child-like problem, such as fear of the dentist, or a question, such as 'where do muffins come from?'

Other times, they were simply finding ways to amuse themselves with old toys or video tape equipment.



The Muppet Babies would then enter into their imaginations, transforming their toys into everything from time machines to pirate ships.

Nearly every episode contained one song, and occasionally more than one.

After the credits, the episodes would end with Animal shouting out his catchphrase 'Go bye-bye!' usually while Gonzo blasted off into the sky due to some accident he or Animal had caused.

Although the program was a cartoon, live-action film sequences were added in unusual moments.

Whenever The Muppet Babies opened a door, box or book, they were often confronted with anything from a speeding train to a space ship.



Foreign landscapes in their imagination were usually photos or bits of stock footage which the babies would walk across, interacting indirectly with the films actors.

Though much of the live-action came from stock footage and old black-and-white horror/monster films, more recent films such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones were also played and parodied.

The show was drawn from The Muppet Babies point of view, meaning the babies were always looking up to view the world.

Objects like couches and doors were far larger than normal and more momentous obstacles for the babies.

As a result of the upward view, the faces of adult characters were never shown. Nanny was only ever seen from the shoulders down as were the adults in the babies fantasies.

Exceptions were made for Uncle Statler and Uncle Waldorf and a few Muppet style adults in the fantasy worlds.
