The Muppets Trailer
What's not to love about the Muppets, especially in combination with the always loveable Amy Adams and sometimes loveable Jason Segal? The film introduces a new member to the Muppet community, Walter, who idolizes everything that the Muppets stand for: acceptance, unity and love. After seeing that the old Muppet studio in Los Angeles is completely run down and about to be taken over by an evil businessman, Walter decides to bring the gang back together to perform one last show. This gave the audience and opportunity to see what the Muppets have been doing for all of these years. Whether it is Miss Piggy working for French Vogue as the Anna Wintour-esque character, or seeing Animal in a rehabilitation facility (sponsored by Jack Black) for anger management issues, it was a really clever way to feel as if you have been clued in on their lives for the past number of years. The Muppets represent an eclectic group of creatures who all come
together to answer the always relevant question, "why are there so many
songs about rainbows?" This movie did not disappoint, and I believe it
even rivals the original 1979 classic. Yes, the song and dance numbers
are overly cheesy, and reminiscent of a 40s MGM classic musical, where
the townspeople come together off of the streets to question whether
Jason Segal is a man, or a Muppet of a man, but that all adds to the
charm. While the market of the movie is obviously geared towards
children, there are so many small quirky satirical references that make
it just as entertaining for adults as it is for children.
