The Muppet Show in Ham's Deep

An elaborate diorama that appeared in the storefront of The Silver Snail, a comic store in Toronto, "The Muppet Show in Ham's Deep" featured the cast of The Muppet Show reenacting the Battle for Helm's Deep from the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

Featured performers include:


 * Kermit as Aragorn
 * Fozzie Bear as Legolas
 * Robin as Gimi
 * Miss Piggy as Arwen
 * Sweetums as Gandalf
 * Beaker as Theoden
 * Animal as Eomer
 * The Newscaster as Merry
 * Crazy Harry as one of the Uruk-Hai
 * Penguins as the Orcs of Saruman

Bunsen Honeydew's severed head is also prominently featured in the photo gallery. Less obvious is Lew Zealand's use of a swordfish against the invading Penguins.

Several characters are represented here who did not appear in either of the released versions of the film.


 * Miss Piggy's inclusion in the battle is likely a reference to the original screenplay and shoot, which included Arwen arriving with the elves of Lorien to fight at Helm's Deep. (Arwen's scenes were later cut.)


 * Gandalf and Eomer never appeared on the walls of the Hornburg, but rather charged the flanks of Saruman's army.


 * The Newscaster is dressed in Hobbit armor, but none of the hobbits were present at Helm's Deep.
