They’re closer than you reflect.

When 3 muppet fans learn that Tex Richman wants to drill not more than the muppet theater for oil Gary, Mary and Walter set out to find the muppets who have been split up for years Kermit lives in his own mansion depressed in hollywood, Gonzo is a high class plumber at Gonzo’s majestic Flush, Fozzie performs with a tribute band called The Moopets , Miss Piggy is the plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, and Animal is at a celebrity rage managment rehab center in Santa Barbara.

Review: This movie is by far the best I have seen all year. It has a lot of humor in it ( a lot that appeals to the grown-up viewer as the Muppet have never been just for children). The new character both human and Muppets (Walter is incredible) have a lot of heart to them. THis will be the first movie in over ten years that I will happily see more than once in theaters. It is a very emotional movie that makes us feel for these characters made of felt. The music is very memorable too. Jason Seagal is very clearly a Muppet fan, and you can tell by watching this film that all involved wanted to capture and preserve the ancient Muppet magic from the time of Jim Henson. This is by far my favorite Muppet movie since the Fantastic Muppet Caper. The Muppets are back and hopefully we will see more in the future.
