Re: The Muppet Movie

Let me know what the kids think.

I think it will revitalise the franchise and bring another generation into the fold

Re: The Muppet Movie

The guy voicing Gonzo IS the original Gonzo. He is as Gonzo-y as it gets.

Re: The Muppet Movie

Just saw it with the kids. We're still singing Manamana. Last half of the movie was the best; took me back to The Muppet Show days. Ah.... Good stuff. But the theater was mostly empty - hope that's not a bad omen.

Re: The Muppet Movie

It's about time we got a new Muppet movie. I know the franchise came to a hauls after Jim Henson passed away, but I've missed these guys!

I remember watching the Muppet Show all the time as a kid.

Oh! They are plaing interviews with the Muppets, and songs, for a couple days, on satellite. Channel 145! Brings back all kinds of memories!

I loved it, but man, I didn't know it was going to be so emotional going in.
Should'a brought some kleenex.

Re: The Muppet Movie

Saw it this afternoon and I enjoyed it. However, (saying this in my best Christopher Walken/Bruce Dickinson voice) it could've used a little more Swedish Chef.

My 4 year old daughter liked it but 2 1/2 year old boy could have cared less. However my wife and I both liked it a lot.

Re: The Muppet Movie

My daughters and I loved it. Right mix of update and nostalgia. The songs were catchy and when you heard familiar tunes, as someone said above, it was Toy Story 3 emotional...moves at a quick pace and even makes fun of itself several times! Cameos were good but not jaw dropping...but I didn't care...I was there to see Muppets!

Re: The Muppet Movie

I also enjoyed the movie. The laughter from the audience really helped me enjoy this even more.
I thought there were one too many sappy moments with Kermit being all depressing, and I would have liked to have seen more big cameos (I was really hoping for Steve Martin again) but this movie had a lot of heart and was a great homage to the original Muppet movie.
Amy Adams, as always, is my dream girl.

Oh yeah but when Frank OZ was still doing Cookie Monster a few years back he sounded exactly the same.

As payback for that French Star Wars clip, you folks will only be able to watch it on your iPods, sorry.
