Next Muppet Movie

[CensoredAlso]

I'm glad other people liked MFS, honestly. I wish I felt the same way, but my first time seeing it was painful and embarrassing. My personal moral is, I don't have to enjoy everything the Muppets put out, it doesn't make me any less of a fan.

Couldnt have said it better myself

Whatever it's about, I just hope that Frank Oz Directs it!

 

[muppet baby]

Yes that is really what i hope I love the way that frank Oz works Oh yes i hope that he directs the next one .

 

[unclematt]

I highly doubt Frank Oz would be involved

 

[muppet baby]

You are probably right , but having hope never hurts

Actually it's funny you mentioned that you hoped Frank Oz would direct the Muppets again, not because it will happen (I seriously doubt that), but because the last time I watched MTM (oh, 2 weeks ago?) I noticed for the first time the drastically different humor and direction in that movie as compared to TMM or GMC, or the more current movies. For the first time in a Muppet movie there's not a lot of music softening the cuts... for example, think of the first scene in Pete's diner, when Kermit meets Jenny. It goes something like this: "My name's Kermit." "Hi Kermit, I'm Jenny." Cut to Kermit, close up: "I'm a frog." Hard cut to Miss Piggy watching Kermit and Jenny. Now IDK if it's because I majored in drama and my roommate's a film major that I notice little things like that, but it really different than previous Muppet humor ("Drinks on the house!" "What color are their hands now?").

TMM was always my favorite Muppet Movie, but I've found that for many people it's MTM, and when I was little that was my fav as well. It's just funny to see that now that I've, you know, kind of figured out for myself how the humor in MTM is different.

Watch it again (not like it's a chore) and let me know if you see what I mean!

I think it would take an awful lot for him to come back. And if he does come back to Direct he would have to do Piggy and Fozzie and then whats Eric going to do. The more Eric works the better he is going to get. It might almost be detremental for Frank to come back.

Good point about eric.
What you said is very true he does a wonderful job with miss piggy .

I know in 1999 Trank OZ has mentioned that he would like to direct the next Muppt movie.
