If you haven’t seen Meet The Feebles, you should.
A movie that opens with a walrus fucking a cat. This is not even the slightest exaggeration.
Relatedly, Jim Henson originally wanted to name the Muppets show "The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence." This was to set it apart from his kid friendly Sesame Street productions, an image he was afraid he'd be saddled and typecast with forever.
This probably inspired the tone of the Feebles. Nobody believes it was directed by Peter Jackson. Yes, that Peter Jackson.
Peter Jackson did a lot of schlock before he made it so to speak. One of his earlier movies was about fast food aliens harvesting the human race for Burger meat, in which he played one of the lead characters who had to tie his skull back together to keep his brains from oozing out while he laid waste to alien scum.
So yeah the real question isn't how is it that the man who did Lord of the Rings made this, it's how did the man who make this go on to do King Kong and Lord of the Rings
Edit: This movie is called "Bad Taste" and it's in that "So Bad It's Good" category. So I do recommend taking a look.
So was this fast food aliens movie the entertaining kind of bad or is it just bad? Because I kinda want to watch that movie.
Better than Killer Clowns From Outer space, at least
I can safely say that it is the former. The movie is called "Bad Taste" and I do recommend a viewing.
Now you're making me want a muppets LOTR.
Of all the remakes that Hollywood could do, why not this one?!
Best part is, according to the latest Muppet Movie, the Feebles are canon.
