Mark November 24 2009 in the Muppet history books. I honestly think when it comes right down to it, Tuesday was The Official Start Date of The Muppet Renaissance.
D23 was a nice preview of Disney's commitment to going ahead big time with the Muppets brand and we've had some neat little treats here and there but Tuesday really felt like Day 1 of Muppets Relaunch. Muppets Studio launched both its official Youtube channel and Twitter page, The Muppets were on the Dancing With the Stars season finale, the Letters to Santa soundtrack was released and of course the Bohemian Rhapsody video - i'm sure everyone on Team Muppet knew this was going to be something special but did anyone think the response would be as overwhelming as it turned out to be? The Muppets were on top of the world!
Hot off its heels are Kermit's Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade appearance and subsequent music video/single, TWO network tv airings of LTS, the Give a day promotion continues as does the comic lines (Muppet Peter Pan #3 which came out today is incredible by the way!) and their next Extreme Makeover appearance should be coming up soon (and many of the Muppets themselves have had makeovers of their own). Though not currently a part of Muppets Studios, their cousins the Sesame Street Muppets are still riding its 40th anniversary wave, and something tells me we're about to see a steady stream of Muppet treats and surprises steadily rolling out from here on in.
Ladies and gentlefrogs, it has arrived and only just begun.
