Muppets Most Wanted TV Spots Breakdown, Part 2

Ryan Dosier - We're back with coverage of the two remaining Muppets Most Wanted TV Spots that our breakdown yesterday didn't get to. Here we go!

Shots from "Two Women" TV Spot

Poor Kermit has rarely looked this sad. I would be too if I was getting arrested again!

And Tina Fey has never looked so crazy.

If you look closely, you can see Annie Sue again in the back by Scooter and Sweetums.

You can almost hear Constantine saying, "What is up girl? You are the only one for mean."

This is amazing and so funny. I love, love that Nadya is in love with and obsessed with Kermit. Makes me very happy.

Hey! How did Nadya get into my room?!

Shots from "Right Now" TV Spot

Can I just acknowledge how insane this movie is going to be? It's so beautifully weird.

Honestly if you told me this shot was from 1979, I wouldn't bat an eyelash.

 Turns out Dominic is an accomplished ice skater!

Gratuitous Muppet Show arches shot. Hi, Wanda!

Again... how is this not just a deleted scene from The Muppet Show?

When I saw this I literally yelped.

Oh, look, Beaker learned to translate his thoughts to subtitles!

My thoughts exactly, seemingly random Twitter user.

I like to pretend that the words from the Twitter people at the bottom are what Ty Burrell is saying.

I'm wondering if this is real too, Twitter friend. In this shot alone we see Link Hogthrob, Wanda, and Beauregard. In 2014. How can it be real?!

Yes, Fozzie, you'll always be real to me.

Shots from "Winter Games" TV Spot

This is crazy. This is the amount of extras and production value the culled together for the Tower of London scenes. Incredible!!

"Thanks for not shooting me!"

"No problem, Keer-mit!" Oh my gosh, I love Stanley Tucci.

And there ya go! Hope this tides you over until the next time we have six new TV spots...

Muppets Most Wanted TV Spots Breakdown, Part 1

Ryan Dosier over the past week (and some of last week), Disney has released a slew of new TV spots for Muppets Most Wanted. These new spots are so jam-packed with new scenes from the movie that we decided they deserved one of our famous Muppet Mindset shot-by-shot Breakdowns! That was until we found a total of 50 never-before-seen shots in these spots... so the spots deserve two breakdowns! Let's get started with the first, shall we?

Shots from "America's Favorite Frog" TV Spot

Constantine mugging the camera (I assume) during the song "I'll Get You What You Want (Cockatoo in Malibu)." I love his outfit here and the set is fantastic.

Looks like Constantine is finding out that being Kermit isn't as easy as he thought.

This is either the funniest or the most dramatic picture I've ever seen. Either way, amazing.

Constantine has eyelids!! Also an extremely fantastic shot.

 This is Sam's traditional response to a rubber chicken.

 Now there's the Kermit we know and love!

I really, really love that Fozzie and Walter are (seemingly) paired up so much in this. What a great team.

I know we've seen this scene in a trailer before, but I paused the video here and it was too perfect not to grab it while I could.

Shots from "More Muppets" TV Spot

Oh my gosh this is amazing.

So. Much. Awesome. Scooter's prominent role in this movie is insane.

The guards won't let Sam in. Poor Sam.

Piggy's hair and necklace are so unique. Also... Floyd is near to Foo-Foo so now I'm holding my breath that they have some sort of interaction.

I love this shot so much. Look how wide Gonzo's mouth is!!

Perfect facial expression.

Okay. This shot. This was so insane and unreal that I had to learn how to make animated GIFs just so I could have a GIF of this. This movie is elevating puppetry to massive heights.

Whatcha doin', Sammy?

Again, we've seen this shot before, but I accidentally paused on this and it was too perfect not to grab. Welcome to my nightmares!

Shot of Piggy in her wedding dress in the movie!! Look at that church! AHHHH!!!

Kermit or Constantine? The eternal question.

Shots from "Confusing Plot" TV Spot

Kermit is a little disturbed by the Gulag food. Don't let Lew Zealand see this...

This is definitely Constantine. Right?

First of all: BEAUREGARD. Second of all, aww, he's having such a great--

--WHOA! PIGEON. I laughed so hard at this. I'm still laughing at this. Poor Bo.

Amazing shot. You really can't beat these group shots of these gorgeous characters.

Imagine waking up to THIS in the morning!

Look at all those wonderful mariachi outfits! Arriba!

The cinematic nature of this movie is seriously unreal. Without a doubt the most action-packed Muppet movie ever.

Is that the--Yup. It's the weird little monster who sings "You Are My Sunshine" during "Hugga Wugga" on The Muppet Show. Unbelievable.

Christoph Waltzes while Crazy Harry bombs. Also, Janice is playing clarinet, Floyd is playing some sort of tuba, and Rowlf is playing accordion? Awesome.

That's it for today! Check back tomorrow for shots from the "Winter Games," "Two Women," and "Right Now" TV spots!

Muppets Most Wanted "Game Day" TV Spot Breakdown

Ryan Dosier - On Super Bowl Sunday, Disney debuted another TV spot for Muppets Most Wanted during the pre-game show, and then released an extended version of the spot online. If you haven't seen it yet, you really should watch it... so here it is!



As you can see, there's a whole lot going on in this spot. So much so, in fact, that we've decided (because Jarrod Fairclough demanded) it deserves one of our handy breakdowns! This time we're only breaking down shots that have not been seen before.

Tina Fey and her Russian police force at the Tower of London?! "Arrest that frog!"?! Is she calling for Kermit or Constantine? Such excitement.

Is Piggy super excited or super scared? Either way, she looks good doing it.

Great to see Bunsen and Beaker get something to do in Muppets Most Wanted after being mostly shafted in The Muppets. Also, 80s Robot is perfect with them. That's brilliant.

I'm willing to bet we won't see this (obviously green-screen) shot of Statler and Waldorf in the film. However, the building behind them is Los Angeles Union Station, which may or may not feature heavily in the opening of the film...

Constantine's Kermit impersonation is getting really good!

Ahh! The classic double pretending to be a mirror gag. This already looks hilarious. I'm all for it.

Is this the first time Janice and Pepe have been in the same shot together? Also, how rare is it that we get to hear Janice speak with a featured line these days? Rully exciting.

Okay, this shot... I literally have no idea what's going on here. Yes, we know Kermit is thrown in the Russian prison, but why are Piggy and Constantine there? And why are they all doing a musical number? And why is there a giant block of ice crammed with Muppets in the way back? I have noidea what's going on here, but I love it.

Look, there's Ray Liotta, Jemaine Clement, Danny Trejo, and our friend Hornswoggle in the front row! I don't recognize any of the guys in back... should I?

Beautiful shot of the European countryside! This shot is just so... cinematic!

Ah, a pig in London in the spring...

Aww, Constantine is kinda cute when he's not trying to kill you.

I love Camilla's outfit. And the little rose on Gonzo's lapel. Plus, it's always such a joy to appreciate the fact that Annie Sue is there and her ridiculous Pippa Middleton hat.

I was on set when they filmed this!!! This was probably at about 2am on Hollywood Boulevard. No, that's not green screen, and yes, that's a real tumbleweed.

There you have it! Has your excitement level for the movie peaked yet? Mine's nearing the top...
