I always wondered what happened to the principal from Degrassi: The Next Generation! Well, no, actually, I never wondered that, but I think it's hilarious that she's in this...

I love that this one starts with Sweetums crashing through the living-room wall. That's a great Muppet visual, and the rest of the commercial rides that wave.

I liked that scene - very well-written and self-aware. Rizzo's line about "other beloved characters" not getting more screen time simultaneously cracked me up and broke my heart. It was also responsible for the only time that any of the kids with us asked "Who's that?" It happened when Robin...

An Electric Mayhem movie (or even TV special or direct-to-video production) could be a hoot. They're a more cohesive unit, from both a comedic and musical perspective, now that the recasts have settled in. I would even suggest a Behind The Music type of faux-documentary if Robot Chicken hadn't...

Okay folks...We've had wonderful conversations about Muppets Most Wanted's content, promotion, box-office take and the future of the characters, but I thought it might be worth setting up a separate thread to talk about our experiences in actually going to see the movie. Some of you have...

Those are all a riot. I love Bunsen and Beaker's blooper (there's nothing like an off-the-cuff Muppet joke that everybody's obviously enjoying), Pepe's rant, and "Boop" (partly because the human driver and passenger are just cracking up through the whole thing). Honorable mention: Janice...

Oh man, I thought the first one was funny and then I watched the "Perfume" clip and nearly caused a disturbance at work from laughing too hard. Vogel has got something wonderful happening with Constantine (as if we didn't know that already)...

I noticed that, too. Of course, whenever someone brings up that scene, I find myself wondering if I, as a reasonably-intelligent 41-year-old man, require intensive counselling because I actually find humour in the line "Walter and Fonzie have quit the Mappets."

I'm pleasantly surprised that MMW has held up well from weekend-to-weekend. I'm starting to see a lot of talk on FB and social media in general from people who headed to theatres in groups (either as families or just friends) to see the movie on its second weekend in North America. Even the...

You'll notice that Fozzie was the first (after Animal) to actually figure out that Constantine WASN'T Kermit (even though he had a little "help" from a conveniently-splattered bit of guacamole...) ;)

A few quick thoughts on things people have brought up on this thread, and other random ramblings: * When you have an "evil doppleganger" plotline and the villain is as transparent as Constantine (who telegraphed this in the trailers and promo appearances and then took it to ridiculous...

Hey, no problem, guys. I'm weird like that. (I actually prefer MFS and MTI to TMTM.)

Stray thoughts: * It's been mentioned before on this thread but I wish it had been made clearer that Nadya figures out that it's Kermit instead of Constantine. The transition seems a little mushy - one scene she's insisting he's Constantine, the next she's casually calling him Kermit (and why...

I am personally done putting up with people griping about how the Muppets sound. For me, one of the triumphs of MMW is that Whitmire, Jacobson, Baretta, Vogel, Rudman and Linz all knock it out of the park at every opportunity, in terms of line delivery, singing, puppetry and all-around energy...

Which, in a way, makes it even funnier when Constantine reassures the Muppets that they can go back to rehearsing their "songs about sharing and the number three" (a line that made me and Mrs. Otter both laugh out loud).

It goes without saying that your Mom is wrong. ;) By the way, I was pleasantly surprised that Linz was one of the flamingos. I couldn't picture the voice of Walter also being responsible for such a gutsy rendition of the "Macarena" chorus.

I'm on my third complete-disc play-through of the MMW soundtrack and enjoying it immensely. I'm glad I managed to avoid listening to any of it online or buying the soundtrack before I went to the movie because now I'm re-living the joy of hearing all this great music for the first time when I...

I'm going to throw a few things out for everyone to chew on: * Muppet films are not now, and have never been, huge moneymakers. We all know this. Adjusted for inflation, TMM is the only movie to crack the $100-million mark at the box office (let alone the $200-million mark). And that movie, as...

Hey, it's all subjective. I'm surprised I haven't been fired off this forum for listing MFS above TMTM and MCC in my personal Muppet movie rankings. ;) As I said, MMW isn't far behind TM2011 in my books - the two occasionally wind up tied, depending on my mood. And MMW has it all over TM2011...

And a pretty major part too! I just think that was so wonderfully creative. And Bobby Benson just strikes me as a great secondary character. I loved the "rehearsal" scene in TM2011 where he's just chatting away with Link in the arches as everybody else muffs up their cues for the theme song.
