i just feel that doing these remakes does a dis service to the muppets , instead of allowing the characters to grow in thier own way, it takes them a step back, and forces them into molds, something that the original show, and movies never did,
take for instance Muppet Caper, they were given a good story, and a basic premise, but were still being them selves, and and simply telling a greta story , same with The Muppet movie, nam Manhattan, (ill leave out Muppets from Space because that movie was just bad from start to finish)
but when you do these Retelling it stunts the muppet performance, and keeps the muppets in molds that dont fit,
i think of all the recent films, only the Christams special had a little bit of the old muppet spark(even if it really didnt save the film, it was thier )
