Hands up if you love The Muppets

As Disney reunites Jim Henson’s loveable, roguish, iconic characters, Miss Piggy and Kermit talk to Declan Cashin

Hands up if you love The Muppets

AFTER a long absence from our screens — save for a few TV movies and internet sketches — Jim Henson’s ‘sensational, inspirational, celebrational’ pop culture icons the Muppets are back with a Disney-financed movie.

Entitled The Muppets, the film is an affectionate, self-referential musical comedy (with tunes from Flight of the Conchords’ Bret McKenzie) about the old crew’s attempts to save their beloved Muppet Theatre from being destroyed by an evil oil baron (Chris Cooper).
