If you’ve seen The Muppets film in the past few days, you’ll want to check out new details we’re learning concerning an alternate ending as well as a deleted scene!
The alternate ending, from Badass Digest:
The endings diverge when the big tote board comes up one dollar short. In the released film Fozzie bumps it and we see they’re actually millions short. In the original film they’re always one dollar short, and when it looks like all hope is lost Waldorf and Statler pipe up from the balcony. “That wasn’t so bad after all,” they say, and toss down a dollar. The Muppets are victorious.
As for the deleted scene, from Collider:
See, another deleted sequence involved a flashback to Tex’s childhood. We learn that he was entertained at his birthday by the Muppets (remember him saying at the beginning of the film that he’s been a fan since he was a kid?), but for some reason Tex can’t laugh. He can’t receive the third greatest gift the Muppets have to offer. It’s traumatizing for him.
We’re unsure of Waldorf and Statler throwing a dollar down to help The Muppets since that’d be seen as a nice gesture, and usually the pair love to comment on all of their problems. As for the deleted scene, we thought the film was long enough as is!
