The Muppets themselves are about 65 years old. Henson created them in 54-55. The Muppet Show itself is 35 years old.Andronicus said:

This is something long overdue, the trailer gives me lots of hope that it will be a glorious return of the Muppets from their current exile on YouTube.
Even if that were true - and it's not - why would that be a bad thing? The Lego series of videogames are for children, and they're loads of fun. The Harry Potter books are Young Adult fiction - supposedly not for grownups. Same is true for The Hunger Games.Digikid said:
There are plenty of things meant "for kids" that are just as enjoyable for adults. I suggest it's you who needs to lighten up, not Muppet fans who need to "grow up."
He's not a terrorist, he just likes blowing things up. He's been around since the original Muppet Show.Live4Lotus said:
On that same merit you can say Transformers is for children.Digikid said:
If I recall correctly Jim Henson himself said once during making the Muppet Show that his ambition for the Muppets was to make it enjoyable for children and adults alike to watch. There are some jokes in the shows and movies that if you watched as a child you would enjoy it without question. But as an adult watching the same movie/show you would pick up on jokes that you would understand at your age that you could never notice as a child.
As one of the many folks here that grew up on the Muppets this was one movie I looked at my own ma whom I went to go see Pirates with said plainly; Ma, this is a movie we should totally go see.
It is a nostalgia seeing old childhood shows still popping up to bring further entertainment. I am a bit disappointed that Disney bought it off from the Henson family but if they can continue to bring quality work of the Muppets I would be satisfied.
