Ok, Swedish Chef jokes get me every time. And I doubt S&W are villains, probably just in a meeting because they represent the theater.

is the swedish chef saying "say hello to my little friend?"

The spoof trailers were much better. That doesn't make me want to see it at all.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 19 June 2011 14:34 (twelve years ago) link
As a whole, kind of eh...
But the part where they start the Muppet Show theme song gave me the tingles

thats the first thing that has made me want to see this... fart shoes!!!!!!!!!

looks great, so much better than any muppet film since 'manhattan' and 'caper'.

As with Space Jam, I couldn't recognize a few of the characters from just their voices, and that worries me. But I'll still see it, if only to avoid rationalizing why I saw Space Jam and not this.

If it turns out to be Glee with Muppets I'll be disappointed.

not watching the real trailer, but can't imagine they would have brought McKenzie in to co-write new songs if it was all going to be pop covers

Feist doing 1,2,3,4 on Sesame Street was a huge thing - which I'm sure is why she's in this one

You know, if you had Newsom as a real life Janice, you'd just need to cast everyone else. (Who would be a good modern Dr. Teeth in place of Dr. John? Cee-Lo?)

ILX should pre-cover the Muppets OST IMO

In that case I already know who's doing the barbershop quartet...

― do not wake the dragon (DJP), Thursday, 13 October 2011 16:03 (twelve years ago) link
Hahah. Anyway the precover's a fun idea but we already know about half the songs or more; the key to precovering is having NO idea of what the actual songs in question are like.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 13 October 2011 16:06 (twelve years ago) link
errr, I have no idea about any of the songs here (apart from Teen Spirit, which I can imagine quite nicely in my head).
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 13 October 2011 16:09 (twelve years ago) link
no, John Denver was a Muppet, Newsom's more like Hello Kitty
