Muppets Overtime is a quirky little Quicktime movie that showcases the artistic talents of someone who obviously loves the Muppets and Kermit in particular. The movie is done in a very jocular black-and-white style and appears to be computer animated. It features wonderfully light-hearted orchestral music and crazy, Kermit-esque muppets en masse. Oh, and a balding, older gentleman who is potentially dead.
I absolutely adored it.
Joey Tomatoes, a site that showcases quirky and innovative ads, is the originator of the movie, if not the creator. (Via MeFi who got it from MoFi)
UPDATE: The site has been updated with an original, longer version that is amazingly poignant and makes me really miss Jim Henson.
UPDATE II: I’m mirroring Muppets Overtime now.
It was a very dark, very disturbing, yet strangely uplifting short. I wish that Joey Tomatoes was still around, when it vanished so did Mupperts Overtime.
The Auld Grump
It’s gone! Time to fire up Google and link to a mirror.
the real title of the movie is Overtime !
not muppets overtime.
Has anyone found it elsewhere on the net?
Would love to see it..
