Alright so as some of you know, they posted "Life's A Happy Song" on Ryan Seacrest's website... I think it's going to grow on me, and I'll enjoy it even more when the other Muppets sing it at the end of the movie.

I really love the classic Broadway-style musical sound this song has. It almost seems like it could be in The Music Man or something. The amount of variety within the music of this movie seems quite impressive.

His lisp, maybe? lol I'm hoping they didn't make him too cute. That's Bean's job.

Anything and everything pertaining to Walter will depend on how well the movie does. While Lola Bunny was used in every Looney Tunes project since Space Jam, the little aliens haven't been seen since. And Lola's only there to balance out the lack of female characters. Even then, her biggest roles were in the crappy generic Looney Tunes Babies and the crappy generic Loonatics. She plays a semi-major recurring role in the new show, but she's not on every episode... before that, she had one internet quality Looney Tunes cartoon to herself and was a minor character in Tweety;s High Flying adventure.

As for Muppet movie characters... other than Polly and Clueless being used in a UK exclusive Muppets Tonight short, they haven't exactly added any movie characters before. Sure, you may see someone reused for a crowd scene...

I'll agree with what was said earlier about the chicken's numbers on the show being way overdone. Personally I think it'd be pretty bad-a** if the Electric Mayhem had done "Forget You" don't you agree?

Actually I have a chicken puppet that I use sometimes, and I've been rehearsing him singing "Cluck You" for weeks! So I was really pleasantly surprised!

People who like Weird Al, Twilight, Bieber, Glee or certain reality shows tend to give me a headache.

Weird Al is the only one of those you mentioned that I do like, and I pretty much hate the rest, though I'm not sure if I should hate Glee. I've only watched a little of it, but then again, I chose to blindly hate the others (when I first heard of Justin Bieber, I decided to listen to one of his songs online, and before I was even finished listening to that one song I decided I couldn't handle any more!).

Regarding the Moopets singing The Rainbow Connection, I now actually sort of wish they did a few more classic songs, in a montage/medley-style performance. I'm pretty sure they are bad guys (I think the official character bio for Fozzie says that his fellow Moopets conned him into thinking the group would respectfully keep the spirit of the Muppets alive), so I don't have a problem with them ruining classic Muppet songs.

By the titles of some of the movie dialogue tracks, I have to wonder why some have to be seperate tracks, since some of them seem like they'd come right before (or after) the next (or last) music number.

The Muppet Movie soundtrack had some dialogue from the film between some of the songs, and those audio clips weren't listed as seperate tracks. I assume the other movie soundtracks also had between-song audio clips (the only other one I've heard is the Muppets From Space soundtrack, which doesn't). The various Muppet Show albums (not to mention Kermit Unpigged and probably Muppet Beach Party) also had dialogue between the songs without being seperate tracks.

Watching the most recent trailer, I now know who's in the Muppet Barbershop Quarter!

Looks like the artwork has slightly changed and the title will be on the left hand side of the case which could be on the back insert, and the promotional picture is actually the cover of the booklet (without the logo and titles.)
