The Muppets Trailer

I don’t have a sentimental attachment to Muppet movies the way that many of my peers do. I’ve actually never seen the classics, only Muppet Treasure Island and A Muppet Christmas Carol. It’s easy to be cynical about the way that the Muppet properties have been put through the Disney marketing machine, like Winnie-the-Pooh (both sets of characters and stories were conceived independently, then bought by the DIsney Corporation). If any project has a chance, though, it’s something like this, where a dedicated person with a great affection for the material (in this case, Jason Segal) works hard to bring new life to it. After all, the Muppets are only a hop, skip and jump away from the Dracula musical in Forgetting Sarah Marshall:

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead

This movie looks ridikulus, but I love puns so much I’m probably going to see it. Also, a Tom Stoppard fan.
