YES! My three favorite Muppets all in one skit!

I hope the youtube shorts appear on the special features when this gets released.

Also hoping they'll release season four and five of the Muppet show and even Muppets Tonight.

Two people I work with took their kids to see the movie this weekend. They loved it and now their kids are all asking for DVDs of the TV show and the older movies. That's awesome.

 

[SuperBatman]

You know what hits me it's a shame they cut out Danny Trejo.cameo in this film. Either that or I missed it I thought that part was funny in the Hangover Trailer they did

 

[Bats123]

this was one of my favorite parts of the movie:

"you´re ruining an amazing song!!"

Has anybody heard what the Orginal ending was going to be? I just read what it would of been and I think it would've been better than the ending they went with. For those of u who have seen the movie go ahead and read this but if u haven't go see the movie and then read this

Spoiler

he endings diverge when the big tote board comes up one dollar short. In the released film Fozzie bumps it and we see they’re actually millions short. In the original film they’re always one dollar short, and when it looks like all hope is lost Waldorf and Statler pipe up from the balcony. “That wasn’t so bad after all,” they say, and toss down a dollar. TheMuppets are victorious.

 

[Webhead2006]

Would have been funny if they added that.

I still need to see Muppets Treasure Island and Muppets in Space . Not sure about Muppets Wizard of Oz though.

Also , I thought the Toy Story short was hilarious.

[blackout]That's funny but I actually like what they did. By coming up short the Muppets realize that it isn't the studio that matters but rather their friendship and family. [/blackout]

I saw it last night. I loved it. 10/10. Easily my favorite movie of the year. Very sweet, very nostalgic but also very funny and relevant.

I have no words.

The Muppets Are Brainwashing Your Children, According to Fox NewsBy Eric Larnick
Posted Dec 5th 2011 12:50PM

Get your pitchforks ready -- those wackos in Hollyweird are trying to brainwash your children into thinking terrible evil things. Using their agents of propaganda, they are attempting to corrupt an entire generation of impressionable viewers with false information, in an effort to lead this country's future into a perilous decline. Parents take heed: to protect your children, you must not take them to see 'The Muppets'; it may appear to be a holiday comedy for the whole family, an attempt to carry on the message and spirit of its creator Jim Henson, but that is mere deception. It is actually a weapon designed to trick your children into thinking that the oil industry -- and by proxy capitalism and America -- is evil. You can thank the good people at Fox Business Report for alerting us all to their dastardly motivation.

Since there's clearly no other economic news important enough to cover, 'Follow the Money' host Eric Bolling spoke with Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center, and asked the question that needed to be asked: "Is liberal Hollywood using class warfare to brainwash our kids?" And the answer is a resounding "YES!" In the new 'Muppets' movie, Chris Cooper stars as Tex Richman, an oil baron who plans to tear down the famed Muppet theater and drill for the precious oil percolating underneath. He also plans to buy out the Muppets name and re-package them for a group of low-life Reno troublemakers because he believes that we live in a "hard, cynical world" and it deserves a "hard, cynical act." And 'The Muppets' has the gall to imply that these are less than admirable character traits.

As Bolling and Gainor explain, the movie may deceive you into thinking that an unhealthy lust for personal wealth can you leave morally bankrupt, but don't buy it! 'The Muppets' -- like previous children's entertainment including 'Captain Planet,' Nickelodeon's 'Big Green Help' and 'Syriana' -- is trying to deceive your child into thinking capitalism is bad. Tex Richman is a successful businessman, and like Bolling reminds you, we should admire those people. Even though Richman blatantly flaunts his wealth in the Muppets faces when they ask him for leniency, you shouldn't believe that someone with wealth would refuse to be charitable.

(And the fact that Bolling made his fortune on the NY Mercantile Exchange, trading crude oil among other things, has nothing to do with his motivation; if you're just going to use that "fact" to question his "objectivity" then you can hop on the first bus back to Cuba.)

Oil, that ever-lasting lifeblood of the planet Earth, provides an endless amount of benefits to the America people; if children believe the lies of 'The Muppets,' they could grow up with the ridiculous notion that there are negative consequences to the oil business.

Now that you've had your eyes opened, don't think that all is lost. There is still suitable entertainment you can share with your children this holiday season, like 'Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked,' -- which coincidentally is also produced by the Fox corporation. It's kind of funny that the movie that poses the biggest financial threat to the potential audience of 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' just so happens to be mental poison to your child; it's a good thing the employees of the company were brave enough to point out this fact about their competition.

Not surprising by Fox News.
This is just A) appealing to their base and B) to promote Alvin and the Chipmunks.

 

[Webhead2006]

Oh my god really

 

[danoyse]

Even the conservatives on one of the message boards I read (the ones that go after movies like Happy Feet and Avatar) think they're out of their minds with this one.

How is it anti-rich? Kermit is living in mansion. Miss Piggy lives in Paris and is a fashion editor for Vogue. Scooter is working for Google.

Tex Richman wasn't evil because he was an oil guy. He was evil because he was a jerk who wanted to tear down the Muppet theater.

Fox just made themselves look like this:

What's brilliant is that Sam the Eagle gave perfect satire of Fox News 20 years before it's creation.

 

[Darkness Falls]

i can't believe fox news can be so stupid

 

[danoyse]

I can believe it. I hope Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert have a field day with it.

#GOPMuppetHearings has been trending on Twitter all day, it's hysterical:

"Mr. Grover, can you tell me WHICH one of these things is not like the other and why? Please remember you're under oath." #GOPMuppetHearings

"Let me phrase it in a way you can understand: Elmo love redistribute income?" #GOPMuppetHearings

"Mr Animal, isn't this you in this video of an Occupy drum circle?" #GOPMuppetHearings

"Meep meep meep is not speech, Mr. Beaker. Money is speech." #GOPMuppetHearings

"Have you now, or ever been, a member of the Communist Party?" "Yiiiiip yip yip yipyipyipyipyipyipyipyip uh-huh." #GOPMuppetHearings

"Mr. Ernie, what are we to make of your relationship with Mr Bert?" #GOPMuppetHearings

”Well I believe that being green is a choice, Mr. The Frog.” #GOPMuppetHearings

I finally saw this movie and it was AMAZING! I loved Rowlfs part of the montage and Fozzie's fart shoes. But where was Robin? I hope he's in the inevitable sequel.

 

[Webhead2006]

oh i am sure john stewart is going to do soemthing about it.

 

[jmc]

Sorry Americans, people like this are the reason your country is the laughing stock of the world. Muppets brainwashing children? Please. Get a ****ing life you tool.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Loved the movie. I loved how self aware and charming it was. I also really liked Walter.

 

[danoyse]

Sorry Americans, people like this are the reason your country is the laughing stock of the world. Muppets brainwashing children? Please. Get a ****ing life you tool.

Keep in mind, Americans are laughing at these idiots too. I've seen it posted about a dozen times on Facebook with "Are you ******g kidding me/" as a headline.

And the people who usually defend Fox News are being awfully quiet on this one.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Sorry Americans, people like this are the reason your country is the laughing stock of the world. Muppets brainwashing children? Please. Get a ****ing life you tool.

Stop judging the whole country based on a group of idiots. All countries have issues. I mean, it's not like Austrailia's perfect either.

And Fox is owned by an Australian.

Oh hell, I just saw someone on Facebook agreeing with Fox.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

What people relate some of the older disney movies (especially renaissance and Pixar movies) to are much worse.
