DEBUT | 1992 |
Betina and Belinda Cratchit are the pig daughters of Bob and Emily Cratchit in The Muppet Christmas Carol. Their siblings are Peter and Tiny Tim. While their mother cannot always tell the two apart, the sisters are very affectionate towards their father, and agree with their mother's assessment of Ebenezer Scrooge.
In the DVD's audio commentary, Brian Henson says that the characters were played by Goelz and Whitmire "as a way to make fun of the way Frank performs Piggy."
According to the 1993 storybook A Merry Muppet Christmas: Through the Window, Betina and Belinda were played by pigs named Miranda and Melinda.
