that creepy guy stalking Kermit

I forget his name but I think it is really creepy that someone could stalk someone all over the country just to be in a commercial. also the fact he wants Kermit to be in a commercial for a frogs legs restaurant is really disturbing!

You're thinking of Doc Hopper, and yes, greed is often quite disturbing. 😨

Actually i thought the idea of Doc Hopper theatening to kill Kermit at the end of the movie and wanting to turn him into a frog burger was disturbing.

And what's always been his motivation?

Well, he represented the Antagonist of the movie. If he wasn't there, it would be one BORING movie, about as bad as that HORRIBLE Manhattan movie!

Yeah it would be a boring movie without him I agree!

[–] McGannahanSkjellyfetti 9 years ago

That's the real problem I had with Manhattan was that there really was no antagonist in the movie. Dabney Coleman would be the closest to that claim, but he was only in the movie for like a five minute cameo. Then the cops came and took him away and then they were back to square one being with out an antagonist which made the movie pretty dull...

Compared to the other kids movies....this is uh much more twisted

I did not want to set foot in a Kentucky fried chicken b/c he looked like Col Sanders. I was convinced I would be supporting hurting Kermit.

I wonder if KFC sued for slander when this was released??
