It's been a while since the muppets released their last big screen movie. In fact, it's been 12 years since the muppets appeared on the big screen, and oh boy, what a come back they've made this year!!! In fact, if you're a big muppet /jim henson fan like me, you're gonna love their newest movie "The Muppets"!!
First up, if you think that the muppets are the same as saseme street, then you better hope onto Wikipedia and get your facts right! In fact, the only thing that relates both the muppets and the sesame street gang together is their creator, Jim Henson, whom sadly past away in 1990. Jim Henson is one of the most fantastic guys on earth! In fact, Jim Henson is actually the Walt Disney of all his muppets characters.
Since Jim Henson's death, the muppets have slowly been forgotten by public, as more of it's tv shows were losing a lot of it's original taste. In fact, ever since the Disney Company bought over the muppets, everything became so "disney"-ish, which was when the muppet started losing it's own magic.
Ask a kid today, and most of them would say that the muppets is just another pre-school show like sesame street, where the truth is that the muppets have never been so pre-school like ever before! In fact, if you were to watch this movie, you'll know how "adult"-ish the muppets can be.
So, what's the show about?? The show starts of with Walter (the new muppet chracter) finding out about how the muppets studio was going to be teared down. In order to save the studio, he with the help of his brother, Gary (played by Jason Seagal) and Mary, Gary's girlfriend (played by Amy Adams) go out in search of Kermit and try to get the whole gang back together again in order to save the studio.
I honestly think that the begining of the show was OK as yes, there was one cute cheesy song called "Life's a Happy Song" which gets you into the mood of the show. However, the show just went uphill when Kermit the Frog start to enter the scene (like 20 min later). To those muppets fans out there, I'll bet you'll be screaming your lungs out at this moment!
Besides being able to see the ENTIRE muppet gang (which includes Miss Piggy! Scooter! Gonzo! Fozzie! Animal! Dr. Teeth! Bunsen and Beaker! Flyod!..... omg, I'm gonna name every single one of them if i don stop here) you'll too be able to see fabulous guest starts like Wooppie Goldberg, Selena Gomez, Jim Heson, Neil Patrick Harris, Jack Black, and many more!
The Muppets is a Must See show of the year! The fact that this is the very first time that disney didn't bother adding their so call "magic" into the show did not destroy the show at all! Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE disney fan as well, but the muppets is something that NO ONE suppose to mess with! If you donno who the muppets are, this is the time to get to know them, and if you already are a fan like me... I bet that you'll be having tears in your eyes, as the show brings back memories of it's old shows and movies!!!!
So what are you waiting for? Grab a ticket now and go watch the show!!! NOW!! XD
