I wouldnt be surprised if theres at least a couple more 'nods' to Muppetdom...as already these guys have proven their love of the Muppety cause:)

..but I wonder if they'll explain WHY Elmo and Rosa's dads got sent to fight in the first place? Or how many people they had to kill? The same Republicans who tried to get rid of Sesame Street and PBS( http://www.truthdig.com/eartotheground/item/20070221_bush_wants_to_gut_pbs_funding/...

Haha, I can totally see where they'll be going with that "oil" plot in the film a mile away. Whats interesting, is I have news articles where the politicians in Washington have been trying to kill off Sesame Street and the rest of PBS once and for all. The Muppets sometimes do work in a...

I just spent a few days in San Francisco this week and noticed that too. I was in Los Angeles last month and the viral "IhateSarahMarshall" stuff was virtually everywhere you can think of. I havent seen that kind of aggressive marketing given to a comedy in ages, if ever. Im hoping this Muppet...

I agree, it would be disasterous...and quite foolish for Stoller and Segal to not have heavy working with relations and consulting with the Muppet veterans(Thatcher, Lewis, or even Baretta) MAJOR mistake, so I'm pretty certain they'll be working closely with them.

Sorry, have to say I think Kermit is perfect. The team of Whitmire, Goelz, Baretta, Jacobson, etc to me is perfect. I see no possibility of Disney or Stoller/Segal changing this dynamic. I agree with uppity. Too much is riding on this rennaissance of the Muppets for it to merely be a film...

Oh absolutely. While I don't really feel Muppet Wizard of Oz felt authentically "Muppety", the breadth of JH's work was as complex as the soul. While there was the obvious crass adult R-rated Muppet times(Land of Gorch, continuing on now with Puppet Up and the HA! brand which I enjoy), you...

I'm wondering if this has been permanently shelved, I just have this feeling that a FR movie was too good to be true.

Oh I get it...and I don't ever like to rag on Kurt and the post 1990 JH writers/directors we've had. But I think in an interesting kind of Kermit-like allegory; the Muppets had lost their voice. There's the hardliner purist crowd, who is content with the Muppets being known as purely the...

The Muppets are just actors. When you see the Muppets on tv interviews, thats the Muppets. Muppets.com, TMS, movies, etc is all them "acting" Still, I guess there is some loose cannon. JP Grosse owns the theatre, is related to Scooter. Piggy and Kermit have an on again off again relationship...

Yeah, let it never be understated that many of the Muppet puppets turn to Skeksis emperor mush over the years due to the materials used. So 1989 era Muppets, where it was a cross between Creature Shop and classic Muppets wouldnt fair to well unless they were reconstructed. I believe Digit was in...

Well the Muppets are always under the duress of one form of authority or the other in their films. In the Muppet Movie, it was Fast Food tycoon Doc Hopper and his Nazi like scientist friend In Caper, it was Jewel thieves In Manhattan...well, not sure if there were bad guys per se, just...

Actually Frogboy, I was thinking of the 2001-2003 Muppets logo, that had a closeup of Kermit's face from the mouth up. I have it on a bunch of products from that time.

Thanks. And I TOTALLY understand people's hesitations or concerns about "moderning" up the Muppets...as in modern=crass low blow and cheap pop references. When people think adult humor, they in reality think sexual and otherwise inappropriate for family humor. MY definition of edgy and adult...

Actually, that's a better logo than the "Muppets" logo Disney has been using for awhile. Not sure what the current one is, BUT the 2001-2004 JHC logo for the Muppets was by far the best

1. LOL! The Muppet theatre is under threat from an oil company? I so could see corporations like Halliburton lampooned. Heck maybe Sam the Eagle would end up trying to persuade the Muppets to sell the theatre, "in the interest of national security". 2. This film NEEDS Pepe as one of the...

Oh Patton Oswalt is one of the most genuis comics to me since the late Bill Hicks. I dont know if Id call him b-list...I'd say he's a rising star. He was the voice of Ratatouie. I would LOVE to see Patton work in the capacity of the Muppets...actually, we got a little taste of that with the...

Well conservatives are kind of scary, heh But yeah, there's no doubt that with the Appatow gang involved, there will most likely be the Seth Rogan/Jonah Hill/Bill Hader trio involved which would be sweet. I seriously can only imagine the unique take Stoller/Siegel will take, the more I know...

Ten years of Muppet Central(almost ten years for me on here) and holy smokes...we're finally on the cusp of the true return of the Muppets. A new Muppet movie, Fraggle Rock movie, Dark Crystal Sequel, Sesame Street theme part taking over half of seaworld with 4d movie, big Fraggle Rock...

Aw *whew* I had thought they had just filmed a bunch of sketches last fall, good to hear they are continually making new ones. Heh, I was just in the Burbank area the other day...awesome to hear some mighty Muppet magic going on in Burbank(and with Disney project managers with the movie...
