The “Lost” Muppet Traffic Safety MALL Show..

Описание: Step into a forgotten piece of Jim Henson history—the 1988 – 1991 “Muppet Traffic Safety Show”! This touring mall attraction brought animatronic Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Animal, Bunsen & Beaker, Robin the Frog, penguins, and more to kids across the U.S., teaching vital traffic rules in a one-of-a-kind ride-through mini-movie 🎥.

Learn how this Plymouth/Chrysler-sponsored exhibit:
• Introduced the first fully animatronic Muppets—years before Muppet*Vision 3D
• Taught safety through interactive scenes: “left‑right‑left” street-crossing, seatbelts in a minivan, bus protocol, and more
• Featured the catchy theme song “Play It Safe,” recorded by Henson, Oz, Nelson, Goelz & Hunt
• Visited over 90 malls and auto shows nationwide from May 1988 through October 1991

Join us as we explore archival footage, fascinating behind-the-scenes facts (including stats on ride capacity, engineering, and tour logistics), and why this obscure gem is resurfacing in 2025 culture.

💡 Don’t miss exclusive audio restorations, recreation reels, old press clips, and rumblings from lost-media communities.
