Ok so the muppets didn't make enough money by midnight, so they get kicked out. Then they leave. Then a bunch of fans are outside cheering. They sing a song and the movie's over. What happened? After the song? What did they do after the song? I mean, they lost the theater to that guy! The next movie should tell us!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388731228923289276.post-88201676378938191012013-02-21T22:55:32.133-06:002013-02-21T22:55:32.133-06:00I just hope that we don't have to save the Mup...I just hope that we don't have to save the Muppet Theater YET AGAIN!<br /><br />It would be great to tie in a moral theme that 21st century kids could relate to and still exude the muppet excitement and sense of adventure.<br /><br />Regardless I will continue to be a devoted fan!! <br /><br />S/N: Muppets Reunion with a Madea cameo!

That's likely just the working title. <br /><br />I'm okay with Animal's increasing popularity, but he really shouldn't get three times the screen presence as Gonzo, Rowlf or Scooter like in the last movie. They have to give him more to do and that means other Muppets paired with him. Give him more time with Floyd or develop his relationship with his recent Bunny roommate/companion. <br /><br />Muppets do need new characters from time to time. Pepe, Bobo, Sal and Johnny have been great editions to the cast over the years. Phil Gil and Jill served a purpose in MTM. Clueless and Polly were so good in MTI that they used them in some MT sketches. I also like the addition of Walter. He speaks to new fans in a way that's respectful to us old-timers. <br /><br />Ricky Gervais has proven to work well with Muppets. He's neither dismissive nor overbearing toward them. Any fan should be lucky he's lending his considerable talent to the Muppets. jvcarrollhttp://jvcarroll.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388731228923289276.post-14532801455220266752013-01-06T16:39:26.621-06:002013-01-06T16:39:26.621-06:00While I still thought the last Muppet movie was gr...While I still thought the last Muppet movie was great, I'd like to see if the new movie can jump all of these hoops; foremost that it not just be called "The Muppets 2".<br /><br />On a side note, I don't see why some folks are against the idea of Ricky Gervais starring in the new movie. Considering he's already worked with Elmo, you'd think more people wouldn't mind him continue to banter with Muppets =/ -- JBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388731228923289276.post-23209871106030157682013-01-06T14:28:44.190-06:002013-01-06T14:28:44.190-06:00Personally, I wouldn't have hired Gervais in t...Personally, I wouldn't have hired Gervais in the first place. Never really found the guy funny with an ego the size-dimensions of Thog...human characters, even big shot movie stars, always played secondary roles anyway. I'd personally like to see this Muppet movie handle the right balance again.<br /><br />Oh, and to avoid further movie clichés if possible.

The muppeteers can do it, we know that, but some of the writing makes it kiddy, sappy, and down right weird (in a bad way). I agree they don't need humans to sing and that animal is not a main, just a laugh or two. We need the main muppets back as stated. Besides my little rant (agreeing with the name) I am very excited and happy for the new movie. Okay I'm off the soap box now. <br />Hugs and giggles~Maria Gayle Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388731228923289276.post-26276602374717360642013-01-05T11:30:34.335-06:002013-01-05T11:30:34.335-06:00Wasn't another speculated working title for th...Wasn't another speculated working title for this movie "The Neo Muppet Caper"? Not that that makes any kind of sense or any thing...<br /><br />I agree with the OP on many different levels, I can do without any new Muppet characters thrown in, or the live actors singing ("Me Party" RULLY made me cringe, it was that bad).<br /><br />One improvement I'd like to see is with the songs and music in general; show-stopping production numbers are a staple within the Muppet world, however, it seems like in the previous movie, most of the songs were really cheesy, hokey, and at times, downright sappy. I'd like to see more of the kind of numbers I've become accustomed to and loved growning up: really catchy songs, with clever lyrics, toe-tapping melodies, and of course, that classic Muppet edge to them.<br /><br />Other than that, I'm really anxious to see what the new movie has in store for us... but, I agree... please don't call this "The Muppets 2"... I know some courses (mostly critics) like to label <i>The Great Muppet Caper</i> and <i>The Muppets Take Manhattan</i> as sequels to <i>The Muppet Movie</i>, but they're all stand-alone features, Muppet movies really don't need "sequels" or a continuing storyline, they work well as stand-alone features.Joseph Scarbroughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851086150240380366noreply@blogger.com
