Appearances[]
Muppets Haunted Mansion[]
Miss Piggy appears as both herself and as "Madame Pigota" in the special. She does not actually visit the Mansion, spending Halloween night at the Muppets Halloween party doing a couples costume with Kermit the Frog where they have dressed as each other. Within the Great MacGuffin's Mansion, the spirits respond to Gonzo and Rizzo's sympathetic vibrations and materialize as Muppets, with Madame Leota taking on Piggy's face and attitude. When Gonzo asks to contact a spirit, Pigota claims reception is terrible and begins complaining about her limited screentime before revealing a way out of the Seance Circle.
