Little Mister Muppet

Driven by the writing and acting talents of Jason Segel (Freaks & Geeks, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) the Muppets are back on the big screen. The newest epic adventure will feature your favorite cast of Muppets, Amy Adams, and the newest Muppet star Walter. There is only one problem, they aren't famous anymore.

In fact they aren't even together. The closest thing you will find is Fozzy Bear's tribute band, The Moopets. The movie picks up when Walter, Gary and Mary discover big business is going to drill under the Muppet Theater for oil.

I can't help but laugh at the metaphor as Disney, one of the most corrupt and ruthless companies in existence, is drilling into the past fame of the Muppets looking for black gold...I digress.

Determined not to let it happen, the gang sets out to bring the Muppets back to stardom. This task proves to be more difficult than expected. Kermit is a miser living in his Hollywood Mansion. Animal is checked into a celebrity anger management center. Miss Piggy rules the fashion world in Paris and Gonzo is a plumber.

The movie will also have a bunch of cameos from your favorite stars like Jack Black, Neil Patrick Harris, Ken Jeong, Zach Galifianakis, Whoopi Goldberg, Lady Gaga, George Clooney, Bill Crystal, Mila Kunis, Ben Stiller and Katy Perry just to name a few. With all those celebrities and the Muppets it is sure to be a star-studded good time.
