These commercials are getting BETTER AND BETTER!!! (And FUNNIER AND FUNNIER too!!!) Great concept, great execution, great humor.

Maybe I'm getting too excited about it but I have the feeling that Jim Henson would have loved this ad (and probably have created one just like it) simply for its New York touch.

Excellent puppetry in this commercial, too. A few of these scenes had a "how'd they do that" quality that has been popping up more and more in the latest Muppet ads and productions. Looking forward to seeing that continue in MMW.

And, if this commercial accomplished nothing else - hasn't it been a great run of pre-movie publicity? It seems like every new ad or clip seems to top the last one...and we've still got over three weeks to go!!!

Holy crud, that was weird. And strange. And odd. And...whoa.

Whoa.

...

Baby Animal? This may be the first allusion Disney has made to Muppet Babies (with the exception of Walter's lunch box). Baby animal. Yeah.
