Woo hoo, can't wait! ! ! ! I cannot tell you how many times I've watched the others!

One other thing I find strange (chances are I'm being an idiot!), but is this the first time the stars have gotten top billing over the Muppets?

I wonder what it's set to debut in front of... Smurfs is the only thing that comes out this weekend that I could see holding a Muppet trailer. Cowboys and Aliens? Doubtful. I guess we'll see!

I'm thinking the Smurfs, because that'd be a wise decision, unless it turns into a flop...

I see a LOT of amazon Muppet movies and TV show listings like that. I swear the Follow that Bird DVD had Sally Kellerman as top billing in the listing. Like you can name 5 people who remember who Sally Kellerman is. There was another, but I forget.

Seems like movies are pretty much marketed like that anyway. The biggest name stars get top billing, even if they're barely in the film. And somehow cartoon characters/puppets don't count.

New trailer sounds good. Hopefully with a LOT more polish than the first official not parody one (the lack of polish and possible use of test footage was my complaint). And a lot less confusing Moopets bits.

Great poster (even though it still looks photoshopped). And the standee is simply epic. Check out the details like the various Muppet photos around the room, the Muppet cupcakes (including a Snowth one), Muppet magazines, Scooter trying to control Animal (who looks like he's after Amy Adams), and Crazy Harry eyeing Floyd's ELECTRIC guitar. And I'm glad to see that Pepe and Rizzo will evidentally have something to do in the movie (unless adding them into these posters was just done to draw more attention from casual fans, which I doubt). Even the 80s robot and Miss Poogy got to be in the poster.

Also, is it just me or is Rizzo in the standee twice? That's clearly him talking to the Swedish Chef on the steps, but I can also spot a rat up on the outside balcony that looks like Rizzo (in a suit and tie).

Teehee! :laugh: Link's looking quite distinguished in a trench coat. :flirt:

This is going to be great. I really love both the poster, and standee. I'm psyched! <3

I'm even more excited for this movie now!:smile:

They are both great looking. Obviously Disney and Jason Segal are trying to pull out all of the stops to make this a great movie, along with bringing the Muppets back into the spotlight.
