That is a ray of light coming from the sky insinuating that their coming is fortold? I wouldn't mind a Muppets movie set during the end of days Christian Revelations. "Uncle Kermit, do puppets have souls?" "We're Muppets not puppets Robin." "Theres a guy with a hand up my ass. Is that why he didn't got to heaven?"
As Family Guy pointed out, without Jim Henson it just ain't right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxfbLXeCa5Y&feature=related
I like the bit about Animal being in anger management. Otherwise, it remains to be seen whether this is any good. It sounds like it's focused more on the human characters than most previous Muppet movies.
Never been a fan of The Muppets, I can't say this movie will turn me into one and I doubt just as much it'll impress many Muppet fans.
I hope we don't see them walking much if at all. They were always awkward when you saw their lower half.
Let us not forget Kermit's more sinister beginnings! [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIhPKgXeFuk[/yt]
I love the Muppets, and a lot of the recent movies have been very enjoyable, while some others have been not as good. I'm excited to see this, and hope they don't do anything too off course. Sounds like they're sticking to the classics here.
Um....something is not right. I think it's the fact that for the first time in my life I can see Kermit's crotch and how fat Miss Piggy really is. She's got major cankles. They've taken the cartoonish quality out and add humanoid characteristics...which just makes it weird. Jim Henson is turning in his grave.
I'm remaining optimistic, but yeah, the poster does seem a little empty. Seeing as this is only a teaser poster though, I'm sure the final poster will look much better.
They don't look too different to what they usually do the rare times they actually show the legs. As long as in the movie they're just bobbing puppets shown from torso up, I'm happy, but I don't expect we'll see too much of them like this in the movie (fingers crossed).
Brilliant. My first thought at seeing the picture here was of Chucky. There is something really creepy about the picture to me. I can't quite put my finger on it.
I wonder if the Muppets can really be the Muppets without Jim Henson. It will take somebody who not only knows them, but somebody with respect for the source material and artistic integrity-- rare qualities these days. And I really hope they don't CGI them. They must remain real Muppets. Maybe with this movie we'll finally get the release of the original Muppet specials from the 70s: Frog Prince, Muppet Musicians of Bremen, Hey, Cinderella and Great Santa Claus Switch. I'd love to have them on DVD.
I never like it when the voices are different then I remember, but the film actually sounds like it could be quite good.
