" The Muppet Movie " is " dedicated to the memory and magic of Edgar Bergen . " This idea of magic is echoed by Jim Henson who said , " Certainly Edgar Bergen ' s work with Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd was magic , magic in the real sense . Something happened when Edgar spoke through Charlie , things were said that couldn ' t be said by ordinary people . It ' s a way of looking at ourselves and our world in a fresh perspective . That ' s what theater does and what humor does and what Edgar Bergen did . He left this world a happier place because he was here , and I think that ' s about the finest thing a person can do with his life . " Bergen discussed Jim Henson ' s work and how puppets and dummies took on lives of their own : " The only reason some people still think of Jim Henson as a children ' s entertainer is because " Sesame Street " is so popular . You know , I was offered juvenile hours on television and I turned them down because I didn ' t want to be identified as a children ' s entertainer . Audiences of all ages believe in both Charlie and Kermit . My act and the Muppets are both sophisticated and adult , but children love them , too , because we give children a chance to use their imaginations . They complete the illusion that our characters start . " References . Archival footage of Bergen and McCarthy appeared in the " Muppet Babies " episode " . "
