“The Muppets”: Movie teasers and trailers
“It was one of the most exciting days in my life when I sold that pitch… Followed by abject terror knowing that there are people out there who feel the same way about the Muppets as I do, that have such a reverence for them.”
“The big goal for me was just to do credit and justice to the legacy that Jim Henson and the rest of that family created.”
“It harks back to the late ’70s, early ’80s. That’s the Muppets we grew up with and the ones that I loved.
“So I think to some extent the surprise will be how faithful it is to the tone of that original.”
Great to hear because the original TV series featured some sharp writing, a healthy dose of it Monty Pythonesque in nature, and in many ways was the precursor for what Pixar and Dreamworks have managed to do in producing four quadrant movies that appeal to males, females, adults and kids.
Any Muppet fans out there? Are you excited to see the new movie?
