Animal Muppet

With the help of three fans, Kermit the frog must reunite the Muppets to save their old theater from a greedy oil tycoon. The Muppets are a group of puppet characters known for an absurdist, burlesque and self-referential style of variety-sketch comedy. Created in 1955 Jim Henson once stated that the term “Muppet” had been created as a portmanteau of the words “marionette” and “puppet”, but also claimed that it was actually a word he had coined. Animal originally performed by Frank Oz from 1975-200 and Eric Jacobson from 2000 to present, is the wild drummer on The Muppet Show performing with Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. Animal is a crazed percussionist with three styles of music: loud, louder, and deafening and speaks in a guttural shout often repeating a few simple phrases such as “BEAT DRUMS! BEAT DRUMS!” or “WO-MAN!” Frank Oz says that he had his character down to five words: Sex, sleep, food, drums and pain. Occasionally two of those essentials food and drums are interchangeable. Animal has also had roles in all of the Muppet movies including the 2011 film The Muppets, where Animal is at a celebrity anger management rehab center in Santa Barbara. “You don’t mess with Animal. He eats glass, man.” – Frank Oz
