Revision as of 23:01, 21 July 2009
| Fraggle Rock | |
| Air Date | May 9, 1983 |
| Written by | Jocelyn Stevenson |
| Director | Jim Henson |
The Minstrels, wandering Fraggle musicians led by the enigmatic and wise Cantus, arrive at the Fraggles' cave, announcing that a medley will be sung the next day. Red is chosen as Song Leader, but the medley won't begin until Red finds the song inside her -- and she doesn't know where to look!
Fraggle Facts
- This episode reveals another clue about the size of Fraggle Rock. The Minstrels -- who Gobo and his friends have never seen before -- arrive in the cave and explain that they travel around, "finding Fraggles in distant caves," and leading medleys. For Cantus and the Minstrels to have enough places to go for them not to have been here within recent memory, the Rock must be huge.
Notes
- This episode is the first appearance of Cantus and the Minstrels, who reappear whenever music and wisdom are needed.
- For a cute reaction to Cantus' mystical way of talking watch the reactions of the Minstrels when Murray asks if Cantus actually answered his question. Brio shakes her head no, Balsom nods yes and Brool just shrugs.
International versions
- UK version: Sprocket thinks he has musical talent, but the Captain begs to differ. Uncle Matt is horrified at the sight of a Scotsman playing a bagpipe, thinking the bagpipe is a monster which the Silly Creature is strangling.
