I just can't imagine how fun and/or original it could be with all that baggage behind it. I'll be surprised if it turns out well, but I'll reserve judgment until then.

It seems like these Apatow alums can do no wrong so hopefully this is different. Wow, strange indeed… but I certainly think it could mean good things for the Muppet franchise.

Just wanted to get that in there. Watch the original Muppet Movie. There is no way in hell that would be made now. Disney will not allow this to be any good. Just wanted to get that in there.

I revere the Muppets, they were my childhood idols, and have passed on that love and devotion to my daughter. I would LOVE to see a new Muppet movie, but I cringe with a little bit of fear at the same time. Is there a market out there? Sure, for kids, for adults it may be small, but those with kids will take them. Family films sell (even the bad ones). Sesame Street is still a very popular series for children and they often feature the most popular Muppets Kermit and Miss Piggy. I’m interested, but reserved. I revere the Muppets,
