The Muppet Movie was the first film I ever watched as a kid in a theater (the one with this song), so I’m beyond thrilled that Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and the rest of the fuzzy crew are back on the big screen this fall. Especially with uber-Muppets fan Jason Segal (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, How I Met Your Mother) shepherding the project.
This weekend, the teaser trailer for The Muppets premiered before some showings of the latest Pirates Of The Carribbean installment (both are Disney films). The first half is a fakeout, promoting an entirely different movie, Green With Envy, starring Segal and Amy Adams. Even with that sneaky surprise revealed here, there’s no hiding the smile you’ll be wearing when those familiar childhood faces come into frame.
So there’s no real Green With Envy movie, then? I sort of wanted to see that rom-com.
The Muppets arrives in theaters on November 23.
