The Fart Shoes were originally a Checkov's Gun. Then they weren't.
Meanwhile, the "nipples" joke from Muppet Zardoz goes
uncomplained about.
They're going to throw talentless Disney Channel kids at us. It's just a reality we have to deal with. No use getting angry about it. At least we have The Muppets.
First off, I'll take Disney Channel talentless kids over Rob Schneider, Ashanti, and Kelly Osborne anyday. Secondly, as I said, they're just tossing 2 of their prefab stars in there. Universal would have turned the movie into an advertisement for NBC, just like VMX and LTS (to a lesser extent) were. Thirdly, remember how everyone was pulling their hair over Selena Gomez (or whatever interchangeable pop tween) last movie? And her big appearance was a 2 second
backhanded cameo. "My Manager told me to be here" indeed.
