It's funny that you brought that scene up because the other day I was thinking that MMW could use something big, crazy, colourful, visual and unpredictable like the TMM giant-Animal scene. The string-of-Muppets-on-a-helicopter bits might do it when we finally see them in context on a big screen...

Amid all the hoopla about the ABC Family airings of 2011's The Muppets and the Muppet movie marathon (both excellent ideas!), here's a heads-up for my fellow Canadians: The Muppets will appear tonight (Sunday, January 5) at 6 p.m. local time on CBC Television, in what I believe is the 2011...

I've basically reached 1985 and the Labyrinth filming (I was shocked to learn that Ally Sheedy, Jane Krakowski, Sarah Jessica Parker and Mia Sara were among the actresses up for Jennifer Connolly's role) and I'm still enjoying the book. The tone is bright and breezy, not unlike much of Jim's...

I loved that promo. There's an even better one out today, including a new-to-us clip of Constantine trying (and failing) to imitate Kermit.

That was a HOOT!!! Excellent pacing and great use of Muppets in the "real world." And after watching MasterChef with Mrs. Otter this past summer, it's great to see Gordon Ramsay get a little comeuppance. (A tie for Gordon Ramsay pretty much equates a loss, especially a tie with the Swedish...

I'm not a wrestling fan (I still haven't watched the WWE/Muppet crossovers from just over two years ago) but this cracked me up. I will watch pretty much anybody from any walk of life getting enthusiastic about the Muppets, honestly. This dude seems to get their vibe and be an actual fan...

I'm with you on the Mayhem, although they did get off a couple of funny lines, especially Zoot talking about his spit valve. I'm on the fence about whether he said he's been using the same "wreath" or "reed" since 1962. It's funny either way. Strangely, I liked that the chickens kept showing...

I, too, am late to the reviewing game (busy working weekend) but I figure I might as well offer my two cents on the whole Gagapalooza thing. This was SO CLOSE to being a decent production. Just a little bit more effort would have taken a jumbled assortment of Gaga concert clips...

While I respect everybody's right to their opinions, I'm shaking my head over all the hatred and vitriol on this thread, all because The Muppets have dared to appear with people who some of us don't admire, respect or enjoy in other mediums. Yes, it's hard to accept that occasionally our...

There are not enough words in the English language to convey how much better these trailers are than the original teaser trailer. These previews actually lay out the story and give audiences something to sink their teeth into, as opposed to simply announcing that a new Muppet movie is coming and...

I'm getting more excited about this as we get closer to the show. Lady Gaga is pulling all kinds of goofy faces in these promos - it's as if she's letting her inner Muppet come out to play. It's definitely not going to be a John Denver type of special but I can see this being a lot of fun and...

That's a good starter poster. I know there are a few recycled Muppet poser images here but it still works for me (especially since Constantine provides such a sharp contrast to the "real" Kermit). Boy, we don't see Sam The Eagle in Muppet movie posters very often, do we? That alone makes me...

I'm nearly at the "Sesame Street" chapter (and have had to really hose myself down from skipping ahead to it) and so far I'm enjoying this immensely. Jones' writing style alternates between breezy and colourful to detailed and serious when necessary - not unlike his subject matter! I'm...

I can take or leave Gaga but, strangely, I can see this working. (I wasn't sold on a Gaga-centric Simpsons episode and that worked, so anything is possible.) No matter who they're paired with, the Muppets just seem to get Christmas right.

I really want to hate the use of "sequel" to describe this film in the trailer (was GMC a sequel to TMM? Was MTI a sequel to MCC?), but I like the self-deprecating approach, with the light bulbs burning out on the "BIGGER" sign. And I have to admit I got a little giddy hearing the narrator...

I can completely understand people not liking the NBC cameos in VMX. That being said, I actually found the Fear Factor and Scrubs bits kind of funny, along with Kermit's "corporate synergy" line before the NBC logo mysteriously shows up on his flipper. But hey, that's me. If you really want to...

Gotta tell you, those videos made me smile. And neither Ross nor Debby sounded in the least like they were cajoled into acting enthusiastic about this - they genuinely seem excited about being in this movie and being with the Muppets. Debby's interview even had a Jason Segel vibe to it, from...

That actually makes sense from both a "Muppet canon" perspective and a "plot for the new movie" perspective. Good deduction, JimAndFrank - I'm sticking with your theory.

I was heartbroken to learn this news last night - I have always known that Jane was, and is, a huge piece of the Henson family legacy and I'm truly sorry to hear of her struggling with this right now. (I lost an aunt to cancer last year and one of my best friends is struggling with Stage 4...

I will laugh at his "Hey, A Movie" line "IS THERE ANY WAY TO STOP IT?!?" until the day I die. Sweetums is arguably one of the most underrated Muppets of all time and I'm delighted that he's been given new life in the modern age. Loved it when he played such a big role in the star-unveiling at...
