In the film 'Saturday Night', Jim Henson is depicted as a 'hapless, gangly intruder', an over-the-top characterization drawn solely for comedic effect.
The portrayal of Henson as a 'cartoonish square' compared to the SNL cast has sparked significant backlash among both casual and dedicated Muppet fans.
Fans have rallied against the film's dismissive treatment of Henson, arguing that it diminishes the legacy and significance of the Muppets in American entertainment.
The controversy erupted after backlash spread through communities, particularly the r/Muppets subreddit, after the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
