Yes, right before the credits roll. I waited until the end of the movie to take a picture cause I didn't know if we were supposed to be taking pictures or not.

Mimi Q, that's awesome! I hope you all had a great time with the trip!

What expenses did you have to cover that cost so much?

Did you get to meet anybody involved in the film?

What are your reviews of the film, the character voices, etc?

The expenses were just for my family of four to sightsee in NYC- cost of attractions, cabs, food, souvenirs, etc... The actual prize just covered the air fare and hotel. They did throw in a car from the airport to our hotel.

No, we didn't speak with anyone involved in the film. We just saw the stars. We were supposed to get a meet and greet with Kermit and Miss Piggy, but we didn't. The media was all over them before the premiere.

I am not a muppet expert like many on this board, so I can't really comment on the voices. The movie was good. I didn't think it was great. I don't think Ashanti is a very good actress- just my humble opinion. I really didn't expect Dorothy to be an waitress living in a double wide trailer, Toto to be a shrimp, or Poppyfields to be a nightclub- you get the idea.

Another Nightclub scene? Curious. That must be where Clifford was in the photos.

No, they were surrounded by the press. We couldn't get any good pictures of them. We were supposed to get to do a meet and greet with them, but we didn't.

That's a big-time shame. I'm sorry to hear that. It would have been the coolest day of my life to get to meet the Muppets...

That's disappointing. I'm sorry to hear that, but still, I envy your cool trip!
