Eliza the Pig

Eliza the Pig is a popular Russian-American puppet, one of the stars of the children's sitcom. "Imaginationland" Eliza as Khriusha is a featured guest in the 1988 special Free to Be... a Family.

She appears early in the special, negotiating with Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy for the show's production. She's somewhat aggressive, at one point pounding on the table ala Khrushchev. Later in the show, in the "Pig to Frog" segment, She, joined by the other "this sitcom," engages in a satellite summit conference with Kermit and her Muppet colleagues, exchanging documentary films exposing the hypocrisy and failings of their respective countries.

In the US broadcast, Eliza's own high-pitched Russian-American voice is heard, with a "lektor"-style voice-over (a voiced female with a thick Russian-American accent) translating her comments.
