    Isn’t that part of the humor of The Muppets? People treat them as ordinary folk, they don’t see anything strange about a talking frog.

    In The Great Muppet Caper, Kermit and Fozzie were identical twins, and everyone acted like they looked exactly alike.

      Except the antagonist of the Muppets movie knew Kermit was a frog, which is why he wanted to kill him and eat/sell his frog legs at his frog leg restaurant. You’re right that no one saw anything unusual about a talking frog (and that is part of the humor), but at least some people recognized that he was a frog.

        You’re confusing The Muppet Movie with The Great Muppet Caper. It’s not like there was an effort to maintain continuity throughout a larger Muppet Cinematic Universe.
