Hello to all fellow Muppet fans! I'm from London, U.K., but have Italian heritage - I have been a Muppet fan for as long as I can remember now! Being 19, my generation didn't really receive any Muppet movie releases, which I've always thought a shame. However, the family are Disney fanatics and so when I first saw the Muppets in Muppet*Vision 3-D in Disney World in 1999 I fell in love with them, making it a mission to find out as much about them as I could!
My favourite movie would almost certainly have to be - call me clichéd or boring - the very first one, The Muppet Movie. It was just such a feel-good film, more so than any other, whilst still combining the comedic aspects that have made them so famous. I like that The Muppets (2011) paid tribute to this plot of getting the gang together, and it paid off as it clearly rekindled a lot of people's affection for the Muppets.
I've been an appreciator of music all my life, so as you can imagine the songs that grace the films and shows are of immense significance to me - my personal favourite would be a close tie between "Movin' Right Along" (The Muppet Movie) - mainly because it's just so darn catchy! - or "Couldn't We Ride" (The Great Muppet Caper) since it's such a beautifully-written song fit for any romantic movie scene. "Cabin Fever" (Muppet Treasure Island) and "Life's a Happy Song" (The Muppets) are great because of their funny elements - ah this list could just go on! I've always been interested to know what other fans think is their favourite song in the Muppets franchise?
Anyway many kind regards to all and I look forward to offering my input to this great site!!
