damned him to death by drowning,
and then gave him a tiny umbrella to rub salt in the wound.
This is a wonderful fusion of the kind of miserable bastardry we expect from a typical F. Murray Abraham performance and the light-handed pleasure of a Muppet movie: the result is truly a commendable tableau of Delightful Dickery.
If you've ever seen a Muppet movie, you know that the human cameos are a well-curated highlight: look no further than Danny Trejo playing himself as a prisoner in a Siberian gulag. In MUPPETS FROM SPACE, some of the prominent appearances include David Arquette as a mad scientist who, warden-like, sends his lab rats to 'The Maze' when they break the rules:
One might even say that he imbues the role with a Steven Weber panache.
Pat Hingle (BATMAN, NORMA RAE, MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE) as a no-nonsense general:
Ray Liotta as a security guard who falls victim to Miss Piggy's love potion:
Kathy Griffin as another security guard who falls prey to Animal's charms:
It's no GREMLINS 2
Perhaps she is still "Rita" from GROUNDHOG DAY?
and, as if to prove that it's 1999, Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson as their characters from DAWSON'S CREEK.
