This is a very cute tweet, but please be aware that the muppet performers are SAG members and performing the characters during the strike (even on the picket line) would be considered scabbing

Honestly I'd be fine with making an exception for the Muppets and exactly no one else. I mean, they're not performing? They're the Muppets.

This could potentially get them into legal issues with Disney.
The performers should be able to protest sans puppets and get treated with the same respect as their fellow actors.
