    Was anyone ever at The Henson Studios?

    I was just there last Saturday, but the place was covered with paparazzi; apparently Gwen Stefani was doing a fashion show there so there was no chance of getting in. Call ahead!

    TV Alert: Muppets on Dancing with the Stars November 15

    I think they did. On their way out they all high-fived Sam and Bunsen.

    TV Alert: Muppets on Dancing with the Stars November 15

    I came here just to say this! Also Kermit dancing to Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and then shuffling.. The best.

    Muppets at Dancing with the Stars

    On Tuesday the Muppets are going to appear on Dancing with the Stars with their own dance number to the song "Life's a Happy Song" from the new Muppet Movie. I know because I was there! They just finished filming and it's a great number with a ton of the Muppet characters and professional...

    "The Muppets" first preview screening

    I'm not sure which banner you're talking about, but you do see pictures of Jim Henson among other Muppet pictures. He was never actually mentioned, however. I don't remember ever going to a preview screening that tells you how the movie scored. After the movie is over the whole audience is...

    I would put them in order of screentime.. Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter, Animal, Miss Piggy, Rowlf, Bunsen, Beaker, Floyd, Dr.Teeth, Sweetums, Sam, Zoot, Lew, Crazy Harry, Statler, Waldorf, Pepe, Janice. I hoped, but no Bean Bunny or Emily Bear that I saw. No.. There are nods to them, but...

    I'm happy it's making people happy! :) Prepare to be happy. This movie is definitely perfect for everyone. (Including your nephews) I didn't spot Big Mean Carl or any other post 1990s characters, but if you do, he doesn't say anything. Unfortunately, Thog has no speaking lines...

    Alright, let's see if I can plow through these. Yes. I'm not sure if you're looking for spoilers or not, but there are definitely references to past Muppet movies. From the very beginning you see The Muppet Show footage. I think it was written great. While Thog doesn't have any lines, Uncle...

    Any time, and thank you! It was a great movie, and I'm glad I'm lowering some people's shoulders. For me, my Muppet-ranking would start with The Muppet Movie, The Muppets Take Manhattan, The Muppet Christmas Carol, The Great Muppet Caper, Muppet Treasure Island, Muppets from Space, Very Merry...

    The bits of Jason Segel used in the main trailer are all cuts the most energetic seconds he has in the movie. He's not actually that goofy, as they leave that to the Muppets. As slapstick as it seems, it's really not as it is in the movie. Yes. Walter and the 80's robot are the only new Muppet...

    There's no special effect moment like that, but expect very well done full body shots. The blue screening wasn't completely done yet for this screening, but overall the special effects were nice. No arm-wires to be seen anywhere.

    No go on all of them. Without Brian Henson sadly I didn't expect Sal or Johnny. There might be a little Clifford somewhere that I missed, but other than that, no.

    Well, at least in this movie Piggie was a lot more to herself and secluded, which is rather incomparable to any Piggie. What was added on was deeper emotion. But she'll get her "KERMIEKERMIEKERMIE"s out.

    justabit Well, you can be happy that he gets his part of the story.

    I'm really glad I could help. (Save the £800 for a large popcorn.)
