MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do Miss Piggy and Yoda sounds so similiar?

You might already know this if you’re a big fan of the Muppets and Star Wars, but if not I’m about to blow your mind.

A lot of people point out that Miss Piggy and Yoda have a very similar sound to their voice. There’s a good reason for that… it’s the same guy! Famous puppeteer Frank Oz voiced both characters as well as Cookie Monster and Fozzie The Bear. Now you’re thinking of all their voices and saying “wow, it’s true they do all sound alike!”

When he retired from doing Muppets in 2000 he said he always misses it because he had such a connection creating those characters and bringing them to life.
