The Performance of Nonconformity on The Muppet Show - - or , How Kermit Made Me Queer " The Performance of Nonconformity on " The Muppet Show " - - or , How Kermit Made Me Queer " is an academic article written by theater scholar Jordan Schildcrout , originally presented at the conference of the Mid - Atlantic Popular Culture Association in 2003 , and published in " The Journal of Popular Culture " in 2008 . Schildcrout ' s interpretation focuses on the theatrical setting of " The Muppet Show " , stating that The Muppet Theatre is " a venue for rebellion against propriety , where performers can irreverently ' play ' with cultural norms , " including traditional gender roles . The article pays particular attention to Miss Piggy ' s performance of diva femininity and Gonzo ' s transgressions of gender norms , such as his singing the romantic song " You Wonderful You " with Gene Kelly in Episode 501 . Schildcrout further argues that " the Muppets take on a truly subversive edge when they underscore their unruliness by placing themselves against the stern moralizing of the show ’ s self - appointed authority figure , Sam the Eagle , " citing Sam ' s losing battle against the " revolutionary " Elton John in Episode 214 . " The Performance of Nonconformity on " The Muppet Show " " has been cited in other Muppet scholarship , including " " and " Kermit Culture " .

The Hispaniola The Hispaniola is the ship which serves as the primary location for much of " Muppet Treasure Island " . The ship is owned by , who financed the voyage to Treasure Island . The ship ' s figurehead is in the shape of Statler and Waldorf , who occasionally come alive to make snide comments about the crew . " The Hispaniola " is captained by Abraham Smollett , with first - mate Samuel Arrow . Rizzo makes some money on the side by charging tourist rats for a Caribbean cruise . The crew is hired by Squire Trelawney with the help of Mr . Bimbo and the ship ' s cook , Long John Silver . The crew turn out to be a group of pirates who are after Captain Flint ' s treasure . The pirates mutiny when the ship reaches Treasure Island , planning to take the treasure and leave the captain and his friends marooned on the island . Jim Hawkins , Gonzo , Rizzo , Dr . Livesey , Beaker , the Squire , Mr . Bimbo and Samuel Arrow reclaim the ship by scaring the pirates off with the " ghost of Samuel Arrow " . They crash the ship into Treasure Island , rescuing Smollett and Benjamina Gunn . In the end , Smollett and crew take the ship back to England , where the pirates will stand trial for their actions - - except for one pirate , who sneaks off in a leaky rowboat . Behind the Scenes . In the documentary The Tale of the Story Beyond the Tale , production designer Val Strazovec said , " The star should be the ship . The ship was quite a challenge to do because I was trying to create a ship which will be friendly to Muppets and also accept humans . " The ship was a stationary set piece , and the surrounding sets moved around the ship . The crew would strip and build the sets around the ship to change from the " Hispaniola " at the docks of England , the beach of Treasure Island , or out at sea . The full ship set was built on a giant gimble that simulated the rocking motion of a ship on water . Director Brian Henson feared that the cast and crew would get sea - sick due to the rocking ship , and made everyone take Dramamine to combat this . However , the rolling motion of a ship at sea and the simulated gimble conditions were different , and sea - sickness was not a problem . On the other hand , staying awake and alert after taking drowsiness - inducing medication was a problem for some of the cast and crew , including Tim Curry . The shots of the ship sailing on the ocean were made by compositing shots of a miniature " Hispaniola " over shots of a garbage ship on the Caribbean . Members of the production crew spent a week in the Caribbean shooting the garbage ship on the sea in front of sunsets , sunrises , and other Caribbean skies that the " Hispaniola " would later be inserted over . The miniature model of the " Hispaniola " is on display at the Center for Puppetry Arts as part of their permanent Worlds of Puppetry exhibit since 2015 .
