Jill 31,812 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The CGI Muppet Babies reboot just sent a powerful message of love and acceptance to gender-variant kids everywhere! In the latest episode of Disney Junior’s Muppet Babies, titled "Gonzo-rella," the fun-loving and always unique alien Gonzo got to celebrate being exactly who he wants to be. In the episode, Miss Piggy and her friend Summer are planning a royal ball and asking everyone to dress up for it. While looking in the Royal Handbook, Gonzo sees a picture of some princesses and exclaims, "Wow! Get a load of that dress! I’d love to wear a dress like that to your royal ball!" (...) Muppet Babies executive producer Tom Warburton told D23 that there was always a plan to celebrate Gonzo for who he is. "Very early on, we wanted to do an episode where Gonzo just showed up to the Playroom wearing a skirt. And it was no big deal," he said. "No one cared or questioned it because Gonzo is always 200 percent Gonzo 347 percent of the time." But another producer had a better idea. "Then story editor/co-producer Robyn Brown and her team wanted to take it a step further and do a Cinderella story based on the idea," Warburton continued. "And it was just SO wonderfully Gonzo. We hope he inspires kids watching to be 347 percent of themselves in their own way, too." We couldn’t think of a better message to send to kids!

bionic 50,112 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I love the Muppets sf much. No reason for people to hate on this but they inevitably will. People have accepted that Gonzo's life partner is a chicken named Camilla since 1978, they should be able to accept he (they?) can be gender variant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
