@mitchconner "Weta Digital provided CGI characters for Peter Jackson's film version of the trilogy. During production of the second film, digital stand-ins were required for the all-CGI character Gollum who would interact with live actors. For some scenes, Kermit the Frog was used in Gollum's place as a joke by the animators. Footage of Kermit as Gollum was shown during the 2003 Game Developers Conference."
