The Muppet Movie

Post by balon! »

Oh my gawd. I went in with high expectations, but the movie actually lived up to it and more.

Off the top of my head:

Pixar Toy Story short before the film.
Bad Guy rap scene
pre-show to the Muppet Show Tonight. "5 Minutes everyone!"
The songs were good.
Jason Siegel!!
Cameos...so many cameos!
New puppets/old puppets.
Miss Piggy rawked.
Dancing and choreography was excellent.

I haven't seen this yet, will probably wait for the DVD.
But all I have heard so far has been positive.

Saw it; liked it. I was disappointed that some of the voices were off. Especially Fozzy's. Otherwise it was all good - especially Chris Cooper goin all gangsta.

My wife and I took our daughters (ages 10 and 7) to see this. We laughed our asses off at all of the cultural references and the gags. Our daughters thought we were nuts! Most of the humor was above their heads.

Loved it. And I say this as someone who has relatives who still tease him for doing a 'Muppet dance' when the show would come on. Glad I'm not the only one that Fozzy was a bit off, though.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner
