They're really not. They're a group the whole family can enjoy. You'd be surprised how much of an influence the muppets has on most modern comedy.Digikid said:
Also this is a site with a massive My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic following. No body gives a shit.
Dear Hollywood.
Please give me a date, not "thankgiving". You know, those things made of numbers that represent time? They usually look like this: 24/6/2011. It saves me googling some pointless American holiday I don't care one whit about.
Yours Sincerely,
Me.

How can a muppet movie not feature Waldorf and Statler. It just wouldn't be right.The Great JT said:
They're kind of stuck in that balcony thing. Maybe they will pop up for a bit, though?diggy140892 said:
I remember seeing this ad four days ago. It looked like the most bland, cliched RomCom ever...then Muppets. Muppets everywhere. Major 'WTF' moment.
From what I understand, the plot will be around The Muppets globetrotting to find all their friends again so they can pitch or put together a movie/play. I don't think it has very much of the rom-com aspect in it.Hamster at Dawn said:
"Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. LewisDigikid said:
tl;dr: YOU are the child. So shut up, go away, and don't let the doorknob hit you on the way out.
Not so. The Muppets are, at their most basic, a very deep and real reflection of our own lives and problems. Even though the Muppet's show itself is about 30 years old, the insight they provided, and continue to provide, into the human condition and society's flaws continue to be relevant even in this day. Through comedy, and the inherent innocence that presenting these issues through a medium composed of stuffed dolls offers, Jim henson was able to apply his own unique philosophy and virtues in a way that religion, the educational system, and perhaps even the internet itself cannot even dream of aspiring to.Digikid said:
For example, watch the following video, and tell me you don't get that sense of a universal truth slowly being unveiled, teetering on the edge of your mind, seconds away from splashing down into the sloshing, foaming chaos of consciousness.
Seeing this trailer made me realise how little of the muppets I've seen, not sure if it was aired over in Ireland when I was a kid, though I remember the odd episode. Perhaps a night of Muppets are in order...
I remember the show at Disneyland.
Fozzie: "Oh no, what are you guys doing here?"
Waldoff: "We were in a competition"
Slader: "Yeah, we lost"
Both: DO HO HOHOHO!
