Characters

Main article: List of Muppets

Main

  • Kermit (voiced by Matt Danner) is a level-headed and friendly frog who enjoys acting out adventure and making music with his banjo. However, he can get flustered rather easily, usually by the antics of those around him. Kermit is also the official leader of the Muppet Babies, as he is typically the one who helps devise their plans.
  • Piggy (voiced by Melanie Harrison) is a temperamental and self-centered pig who considers herself a star and harbors a crush on Kermit. She mostly speaks in a high pitched voice but would at times greatly deepen when she gets passionate or angry. She is best friends with Skeeter and Summer.
  • Fozzie (voiced by Eric Bauza) is a cheerful and goofy bear who aspires to be a comedian, but also shows skills as a ventriloquist, magician, and a musician like his two best friends, Kermit and Rowlf. While adorable and good-hearted, Fozzie also has a mischievous streak, as he is fond of playing practical jokes on the other Muppets. He can also get frightened rather easily, not sharing Gonzo's love of the paranormal and grotesque.
  • Gonzo (voiced by Benjamin Diskin) is an eccentric and unpredictable alien who has a love for stunts and anything that can be considered strange.
  • Animal (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) is an excitable frenzied monster who likes playing the drums.
  • Summer (voiced by Jessica DiCicco) is a good-hearted and sweet-natured penguin from the South Pole who loves to make art. She is best friends with Piggy.
  • Miss Nanny (voiced by Jenny Slate) is the human teacher of the Muppet Babies and proprietor of her school. She is only seen from the neck down. The pattern on her stockings changes to reflect relevant elements in the episode plot. She won a gold medal in a gymnastics discipline at the Sport-A-Thon. In "A Mitzvah for Mrs. Nanny", it is revealed that Miss Nanny is Jewish and actually the daughter of Nanny from the original series.

Other Muppets

  • Camilla (vocal effects provided by Melanie Harrison) is a white chick and Gonzo's best friend who is involved with the Muppet Babies' activities.
  • Mr. Statler and Mr. Waldorf (voiced by Eric Bauza and Matt Danner) are the neighbors of Miss Nanny who often comment about the Muppet Babies' activities from the balcony of their home.
  • Rizzo (voiced by Benjamin Diskin) is a self-centered and sarcastic rat who lives in the mouse hole in the school.

He appeared in a live-action transmission in "Muppet Rock" where he saw Animal perform backstage and is interested in having him join the Electric Mayhem. Animal turns him down for now as he needs to continue practicing.
  • Rowlf (voiced by Matt Danner) is a fun-loving and friendly dog who loves to sing and make music, typically with his piano. He is best friends with Kermit and Fozzie, often acting as the middleman between the two.
  • Sweetums (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) is an ogre who lives next door to the school.
  • Chef (voiced by Matt Danner) is a mock Swedish-speaking cooking prodigy.
  • Robin (voiced by Eric Bauza) is a small polliwog who is Kermit's nephew. He has a tail due to being in his tadpole state.

  • Mr. Manny (voiced by Dulé Hill) is a friend of Miss Nanny's and the substitute teacher of the kids when Miss Nanny is unavailable. Like Miss Nanny, his head is never shown. Mr. Manny is known for saying where he states that a certain thing "is groovy" which is always accompanied by Mr. Manny doing horizontal gestures with his hands, bending his knees, and doing a motion that has him wiggle his hips. He is also shown to be a volunteer at the local library and the scout troop leader of the Frog Scouts.
