However, out of respect for Jim Henson, he never speaks.<< This is a blurb from imdb.com from the Muppet Treasure Island page (no I wasn't cheating - I couldn't remember the name of the kid who played Jim and it was bugging me).

I can kind of understand it, but you'd think they would want the character to continue to live---which they now do. Big Bird
