  Which only mean they aren’t a frog nor a pig, they’re an entirely new species where the male have a frog-like form and female have a pig-like form.

    A form of sexual dimorphism. Honestly compared to real examples like the angler fish it’s not even that weird.

    Like puppets or Muppets

  First off, Hank Green, it’s The Muppet Christmas Carol. Second, it is the best film version of A Christmas Carol hands down. I will die on this hill. Finally, we pretty much kicked any scientific accuracy to the curb, starting with pretending that Gonzo is Charles Dickens.

    Got the most actual quoted lines from the book of any film version, plus you’ve got all of Dicken’s direct-to-reader moralising delivered by Gonzo. And as well as being very faithful to the book, it is a superb film as well.

    Michael Caine excels as Scrooge, too. I wouldn’t say that he was better than Alastair Sim was in his version - that’s a performance that would take some beating - but there’s not much in it.

      I think you forgot about the Patrick Stewart version.

      This is my favorite without muppets. Which means it’s my second favorite.

    I prefer my Dickens to be as dour and melancholy as possible. Which is why I’ve always liked the George C. Scott version the best myself. Other than sound volume issues with the blaring horns of doom I think it’s great. But that’s just me.

  May be they couldn’t have kids because, i don’t know, being entirely different species, so they adopted.

    Or they’re sexually dimorphic. They all do seem to have a single cloacal-like cavity…

  It’s like how in the Shrek universe, dragons and donkeys are the same species.

  That’s better than those demon dragon-donkey hybrids from Shrek.

  Sometimes this happens with dogs though doesn’t it. Maybe they just took it to the extreme for puppets

  Of course it’s Hank Green who would question it lol. But you’re not the only one!
