    A few weeks ago, my mother and I were looking at Christmas decorations: I noticed characters like Santa, Rudolph, Frosty, but also, Grogu (Baby Yoda), The Peanuts, Mickey, Olaf, Jack Skellington, Pikachu, The Grinch, Bluey, Scooby Doo, Garfield, etc. and I said to my mom "It's amazing how someone can create a cute character and make tons of money off of it." There are so many of these types of characters now, The Muppets are just lost in the shuffle.

    I think another reason we haven't seen another Muppet film could also be due to the reception of Matt Vogel's Kermit. Great performer as he is the voice just doesn't hit the eardrums quite right.

      ​@@AsukenickIt's been almost a decade at this point and he still isn't nailing it. Not that they give him much opportunity. I saw one video where I was like 'okay, great improvement' and then a recent one came out on Instagram and was a total regression. Ugh. I want him to succeed, but it's just not happening.

    We definitely need a new Muppetmovie.
    I watch Most Wanted at least once in a year and i think its one of my top 10 favorite movies, cause it doesn't take itself seriously, but is just a chill comedy.

      I honestly don't like Muppets Most Wanted or the movie before it. I prefer the classic Muppets much more. I think the last "modern" Muppets movie I really liked was Muppets In Space and even that wasn't as good as every other Muppet project that came before it.

      Yep, just over 70 years. Most fans, including myself, however, pinpoint The Muppets birth at 5/9/1955. After all, May 9 is Sam and Friends and Lisa Henson’s birthday.

    Muppets from space doesn’t feel like a Muppet movie, it feels like if happy Madison productions made a Muppet film.

    • @haileyshannon7548
      @haileyshannon7548 20 дней назад +2

      It's not really a Muppet movie, it's a story about a character who feels left out because he's different and there's nobody else like him and wants to find his "real" family (others who are like him), but learns that he's always had a family all along: his friends, who love him for who he is and all weird and different, too. You could use ANY characters in that story and it'd be the same movie.

    Muppets Wizard of Oz came out in 2005 so I wouldn’t say that it was capping off the 90s. In Muppets Wizard of Oz Miss Piggy actually played all 4 witches not just 3 as it’s based off of the original Oz books.

    Gonzo's species ambiguity is a big part of his character and they never should have tried to change that. In the original script it turns out that Gonzo's 'family' are indeed aliens, but have only taken on Gonzo's appearance.
    Also I'll die on the Most-Wanted-was-better-than-the-2011-movie hill.
    Folks should also listen to Bret McKenzie's rendition of I Can Get You What You Want, its great
