The possible plot of the new Muppet movie revealed.

Posted by andi330 (Member # 8572) on :

That's funny, the most recent Christmas special with Whoopi Goldberg (the It's a Wonderful Life knockoff) had almost the same plot. Someone wants to own and destroy the Muppet theatre and they have it declared a historical landmark to save it.

Joan Cusack saved that special.

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

Yeah, I remember that special. Except for Joan, a couple of shout-outs to classic Muppet moments, and a decent song, it was pretty forgettable.

They're serious?

You cut out the parts I remembered to force that laugh, Tom. [Evil]

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

Still more on the movie!

I'm starting to feel cautiously enthusiastic.

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

I'm starting to feel a little bit more comfortable about it myself. I think the whole "getting the gang back together" thing could work as an interesting plot devise.

Posted by Occasional (Member # 5860) on :

Wasn't "getting the gang back together" the plot of the first movie?

Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :

No, that was when they first met each other. There was no "back together." It was more like an initial meeting.

I thought that "not frog legs!" was the plot of the first movie.

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

ElJay and I loved frog legs until after that movie came out. I don't know if she still can eat them, but I can't -- they make me gag uncontrollably.

Posted by Occasional (Member # 5860) on :

Yea, I guess your right. It has been years since I saw the first one. Still, getting back together seems too close to getting together in the first place.

I would rather just watch the first and second ones as they were the best of the bunch.

Getting back together was definitely a theme in the third movie.
