And depending on how many characters were rebuilt for this (obviously Thog and most likely Uncle Deadley, but who else?), I hope Disney finds ways to continue using all newly-rebuilt minor Muppets.

I think I mentioned this before, but if there's going to be a lot of minor Muppets appearing ( perhaps in crowd scenes etc... ) I strongly suspect that for reasons of time, budget and pure logistics, many of them will be CGI reproductions dropped into the shot. I hope I'm wrong and that they have indeed gone to the trouble of rebuilding lots of old, obscure characters. Yet something tells me that the cheaper option will have been taken, particularly if the characters in question are unlikely to be used again.

No i think they will take the time and re build.

They did rebuild Thog after all.

 

[dwayne1115]

right and im sure that even if they are not doing a movie or something that they still keep some of the minor one kept up as well.

My worry is that Segal was so focused on the "classic" aspect of the film, that he was completely unaware to feature newer characters like Pepe, Carl, etc. the fact Pepe is nowhere to be seen with the Muppet Movie bothers me.

 

[rowlfy662]

agreed there it is also worry me pepe is no were to be seen and if sal and johnny are not in it either even if its a cameo i shall cry along with not dr phil considering how funny he was in muppets from space and more jokes could be made featuring him and mulch

Who from photos, the trailer, and description seems like he'll be featured quite a bit with the main gang

Pepe is going to be in the new movie, but in a smaller role than previously.

Clifford will be in it too.

Speaking of minor Muppets in the new movie, check out this article:

Upon reading what Rashida Jones said in that article, I'm getting the feeling that we'll be seeing Trumpet Girl/Trombone Girl making a comeback in the film as well.
