10 Shots That Completely Killed The Magic Of Cinema

2. Kermit

Yes, it's a touching moment between creator and creation, between artist and art, and it doesn't exactly give much away in terms of how the Muppets were brought to life on screen, but this sort of thing is exactly why children should never be allowed to look online or at their parents' collection of Behind The Scenes books.

Kermit is supposed to be alive - that's exactly why the Muppet movies always featured shots of little Muppet legs walking, or the characters exploring locales that wouldn't usually be allowed by the conventional studio-based puppetry of The Muppet Show itself.

For exactly the same reason I never want to see an Ewok with his helmet removed, I never want to see the machinery of a Muppet, and I have to say this one hurt me directly in the childhood.
