The Muppets (2011)	comment	The Muppets is a 2011 feature-length film from Disney, and the first theatrical film to feature the eponymous characters since 1999's Muppets from Space. Unlike the 1990s and 2000s films, though, this film sets out to reinvigorate interest in the Muppet brand and characters, and return them a bit to their original variety-show days. It is written and executive produced by Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller, and directed by James Bobin of Flight of the Conchords fame, with fellow Conchords alumnus Bret McKenzie in charge of the music. It is the first Muppet film not to feature Jerry Nelsonnote Almost., and the first theatrical Muppet film not to feature Frank Oz. It won an Oscar for Best Song ("Man Or Muppet"), making it the first Muppet film to win any Oscar.The plot involves Walter (Peter Linz), the world's biggest Muppet fan, his brother Gary (Jason Segel) and Gary's girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, going on a vacation to Los Angeles. There the trio discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theatre and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets' former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10-million needed to save the theatre, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit the Frog reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue in Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate. Celebrity cameos and fourth-wall-breaking ensue. ...and dancing chickens... and Jack Black.The first trailer can be seen here. Be aware that it deliberately misleads you into thinking it's a romantic comedy. It becomes blatantly obvious by the end. There's also the extensive Muppet Wiki page, which gives you a good idea of what you're in for.Followed up by Muppets Most Wanted.Not to be confused with The Muppet Movie or the ABC show The Muppets (2015).

Scooter has to M.C. despite a bit of stage fright. He tries the old trick of picturing the audience naked, but the best he can do is get them down to modest underwear. He shrugs and gets on with it.

The Muppets (2011) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: The Moopets. Richman specifically wants to position them as a new grim and gritty version of the Muppets. This idea is also deconstructed in-universe, as much of the movie's plot involves the Muppets showing the world that there's still a place for the optimism and goodheartedness that makes them who they are. In this case, the "grim and gritty" Muppets are nothing more than a cynical attempt by a heartless businessman to cash in on what he thinks the public wants.

The Muppets (2011) / int_16f15b4	comment	Still Got It: All the Muppets realize that they never lost any of their talent and skill after years of living under the radar. But they still can't seem to keep rhythm in a song without Animal's percussion, who has been in anger management to control his violent ways and has thus vowed not to play drums. When he does finally return to the drums, Floyd uses this trope to congratulate him.

The Muppets (2011) / int_19ebe383	type	Never Trust a Trailer
The Muppets (2011) / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The initial trailers had Fake Out Openings for different movies, including Green with Envy and The Fuzzy Pack. Lampshaded in the "Green Lantern" spoof trailer, where Jason Segel states that people will think the spoof trailer means they are hiding something and promises the movie is not actually in Swedish (this likely references how foreign movies are often advertised in a way that downplays the fact that they are subtitled). Lots of edits were made between the trailer and the final cut. The electric fence and the awkward quietness in the crowded car are no longer Overly Long Gags. And despite having a trailer that lampshaded the joke, admitted it was getting old, and promising this was the LAST parody trailer... they did another one to advertise the DVD release, running in theatres in front of The Hunger Games and spoofing that film's advertising.

The Muppets (2011) / int_1b65dfad	type	The Cameo
The Muppets (2011) / int_1b65dfad	comment	The Cameo: As noted on the Awesome page, stars — big stars — were lining up to appear in this movie, however fleetingly. Old audio from The Muppet Show is used in order to give one to Jim Henson posthumously ("Our very special guest star, Mister Bob Hope!"). Jerry Nelson gets cameos at the same time, announcing the "Veterinary Hospital" and "Pigs in Space" sketches. The audio plays as Kermit reenters the Muppet Theatre for the first time in years and sees the main stage and the PIS set in disarray. Henson also gets visual cameos: He is on one of the pictures in Kermit's office, and he is visible on one of the lamppost-held banners on Hollywood Boulevard (this poster is/was actually there in real life, as people who have stars on the Walk of Fame were being honored with lamppost banners at the time of filming.) And Nelson gets one for real, doing the voiceover announcing the start of the Telethon. It being the Muppets, cameos abound. Virtually anybody who has a speaking part is some big name. Lampshaded and mocked during the telethon, when Whoopi Goldberg, Neil Patrick Harris, and many others approach to cameo on the Show Within a Show and end up running the phones. NPH lampshades his standard Special Telecast appearances: "No, I don't know why I'm not hosting this." Earlier in the movie, Dave Grohl shows up as Animool, Animal's counterpart in the Moopets. Michaela Conlin can be seen for a second as one of the fans outside the Muppet Theatre at the end. Jim Parsons is the "Man" version of Walter in "Man or Muppet". Leslie Feist apparently lives in Smalltown. Ditto for Mickey Rooney and Willie Nelson. Kristen Schaal is an anger management counselor. Sarah Silverman is the waitress who mockingly announces "party of one." Zach Galifianakis is Hobo Joe. Ricky Gervais's cameo was actually cut from the film, but he can still be seen dancing behind Jason Segel, in the street outside the Muppet Theatre, in the film's closing "Life's a Happy Song" number.

Staying with Camilla, and doubling as a Funny Background Event, when she's seen typing in the background behind the main cast meeting Gonzo, how is she typing? By the Hunt-and-Peck method, of course. When Kermit asks "Piggy, why do you always have to be so over-dramatic about things?", or to paraphrase, she's hamming it up. From "Pictures In My Head": Miss Piggy drops a clever one when she is first approached by the Muppets, in Paris. She claims it's always "'WE' this and 'WE' that". One imagines a lot of things in France would be "'OUI' this and 'OUI' that", too.

That's why he keeps Bobo and Uncle Deadly around — so that he can have maniacal laughing on command, literally. The Head Bowling injury sustained thanks to Gonzo fixes that. He gets a head injury that is absolutely not related to his decision to give the Muppets their name and theatre back, but he also gains the ability to laugh for the first time in his life.

Gary learns that Mary has returned to Smalltown, and then comes the "Muppet or a Man" song. Then we see a bus returning to Smalltown and it's a safe assumption that Mary is on it and has just gotten back — we just saw Gary in LA, after all. HOWEVER, and blink and you'll miss it, the Population: X, and Counting dropped by three from 102 to 99 when they left at the beginning, and when the bus is returning the sign adds one going from 100 to 101. Mary is already back in town. However before you can think about this or even do the math, Gary is walking up to Mary's house.

Kermit, who uses the same card carousel he used in 1981 to find a guest star for the telethon, thinks Jimmy Carter is still the President, and keeps '80s Robot as a butler. Dr. Teeth, who plays We Built This City as the song for the cleaning montage! '80s Robot himself. He uses extremely loud and annoying dial-up modems, uses outdated lingo like "Gag me with a spoon" and "Grody to the max," and thinks that people still like Tab and New Coke.

This continues a long tradition of each current Muppet production picking and choosing which previous productions count. Justified, the Muppets have gone on press stating this is only a movie and they're all just playing themselves. Muppet Babies (1984) aired (there are a few pieces of memorabilia from that show in Gary and Walter's house), but that could simply be an animated show in-universe rather than events that happened to the characters (what didn't have an Animated Adaptation in the 80's?). Elements of The Muppets Take Manhattan are referenced, including Kermit and Piggy's wedding photo, but in this film they were never actually married. It's more clear in The Muppets' Junior Novel: After the events in The Muppets Take Manhattan, Piggy starts to act as if she and Kermit actually got married and Kermit gets mad about it. They do have a vague conversation about it in the movie while they are in Paris. There are only three references to the last theatrical Muppet movie, Muppets from Space: Gonzo's "People of Earth" callback (which, in itself, is something he would say even before MFS), Bobo's role as the villain's not-exactly-evil henchman, and the fact Gary and Walter own the movie on DVD (you'd have to look really closely to realize that, though); presumably, this stems from it not being owned by Disney, but by Sony via Columbia Pictures.

Evidently this is exhausting in-universe. When Mary looks out the window at Walter after saying it is fine that he's coming to LA you can see the townspeople who danced along with them lying around, exhausted. Then once they leave town, everyone collapses. Also when Walter goes onstage for his whistling song. We'd been told they had two minutes to come up with something, and a substantial part of that was Gary convincing Walter to go onstage. At the end of those two minutes, though, Walter is ready for his act, the spotlight is on him and the orchestra knows exactly which piece to play.

They use a similar trick (having it be sung by the chickens) to get away with including Cee-Lo Green's "Fuck You" in the show, although the chickens clearly sing two syllables, indicating that it's the radio edit "Forget You".

For the TV network to air their telethon, the Muppets are required to have a celebrity. They decide to kidnap Jack Black for it. During the telethon, random celebrities show up, either with no idea why they're there, or because their agent told them to go there. This includes four Oscar winners, three Emmy winners, and a former drummer of Nirvana.

According to the map at the beginning of the movie, it seems to be in Nebraska or Kansas.

And that's exactly what happened, given the film's reception. In-universe: A fan of the Muppets dreams of bringing them back to fame and work with them! Out-of-universe: A fan of the Muppets dreams of bringing them back to fame and work with them! Coincidence?note This film wouldn't have happened if Jason Segel hadn't pulled a lot of strings.

The Muppets (2011) / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: Often. It was written by die-hard Muppet fans, after all. Gonzo apparently went back to being a plumber. Several previously forgotten Muppets like Thog and Uncle Deadly are back! An Inverted continuity nod: Bunsen and Beaker were first seen conducting a growth experiment in The Muppet Movie. Their first appearance in this movie consists of them trying a shrinking experiment. "The Rainbow Connection", "The Muppet Show Theme", and "Mahna Mahna" are sung once again. Bobo tries to get Uncle Deadly to sing "Together Again" with him, and Walter plays a few bars on the piano as he's trying to find his talent. A collection of very familiar banjos can be seen in Kermit's office. Bobo is playing the sidekicknote well, one of them, anyway to a bad guy again. The main characters singing Life's A Happy Song in front of a choreographed human crowd is similar to the opening number in The Great Muppet Caper. When Gonzo makes his triumphant return, he starts it off with "Citizens of Earth!" Sweetums apparently went back to working at Mad Man Mooney's car lot... and has to chase after Kermit and the crew AGAIN. The scene was even filmed at the same location. "Didn't you watch our first movie? We drive." At one point, it is mentioned that you just need one person to love you. "Just One Person", from one of the Peanuts musicals, Snoopy The Musical, was Jim Henson's favorite song and was featured both in the Bernadette Peters episode of The Muppet Show and the tribute special released shortly after his death as well as being performed by the Muppeteers at his memorial service. Scooter, a computer nerd in his youth, found a job with Google. Whoopi Goldberg is the first celebrity to show up at the Muppet Theatre to help, and one of the few that we can say with certainty are actually there because they want to be and not because their agents told them to. Not surprising, given her previous interactions with the Henson gang. When Kermit initially refuses to try and reassemble the gang, Mary asides to Gary, "This is going to be a really short movie." This is similar to a line Kermit says to his boss in The Great Muppet Caper so that he doesn't fire him. The riff that plays whenever Kermit and Piggy have a scene together is from "The First Time It Happens" from The Great Muppet Caper. In the trailers, Statler and Waldorf asking if the Muppets film will be in 3D is a reference to Muppet*Vision 3D. Gary and Walter are said to have been indistinguishable as children, despite one being a Muppet and the other a human. In The Great Muppet Caper, Kermit and Fozzie were identical twin reporters whom no one could tell apart unless Fozzie was wearing his hat.

In the bloopers reel, Hobo Joe makes a crack about the chicken being done, at which point a singed chicken of Gonzo's walks out of his fire-pit. One of the hobo puppets makes a crack about having ordered it To-Go, and around 2 minutes is spent with Hobo Joe needing it explained to him.

Played straight: Gary returns to the motel room in a tux and holding flowers after realizing why Mary was so upset with him (he'd been so caught up in helping the Muppets restore the theatre he completely forgot it was his and Mary's tenth anniversary) to discover Mary gone and a note that reads: ...which results in the despondent Gary walking the lonely empty streets of Hollywood just as it begins to rain.

The second one is given in full, and is quite heartwarming. When Kermit's going through a moment of despair, Piggy delivers a short speech to the rest that is rousing in spite of her It's All About Me attitude:

The Muppets (2011) / int_b8e3f20a	comment	Demoted to Extra: Rizzo the rat is no longer paired with Gonzo in this film and is only seen in crowd shots, probably due to Steve Whitmire being really busy as Kermit. Kermit's nephew Robin suffers a similar fate. In the sequel, both characters complain about their lack of screen time in this film. PepÃ© the King Prawn, who has been a main character in almost every other Muppet production before and since. He only gets a single spotlight scene, being the one Miss Piggy initially chooses as her dance partner. His reduced role can be attributed to the film relying heavily on â€˜70s and â€˜80s Muppet Show nostalgia, whereas PepÃ© wasnâ€™t introduced until 1996. Dave Goelz's characters (Gonzo and especially Bunsen Honeydew and Zoot) get very little to do here. At first this seems a bit bizarre, since Dave is one of the only puppeteers from The Muppet Show era still performing his characters consistently, but when one realizes Goelz had shoulder surgery just before filming began, his characters' reduced roles makes sense.

The Muppets (2011) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Miss Piggy's dance rehearsal with Pepe the Prawn is a Shout Out to Dirty Dancing. The premise of Jack Black hosting the show against his will is the same one used in the John Cleese episode of The Muppet Show. Both even start their respective 'episodes' bound to a chair and gagged. Mary does a bit of the roll dance from The Gold Rush. The "Me Party" song is very reminiscent of a typical musical number from Flight of the Conchords, right down to the staging and camera work, which the director and songwriter also worked on. The Swedish Chef says, in his own barely intelligible way, "Say hello to my little friend!" as he's clearing out the fridge. Walter's "Even the sunniest days can have a few clouds in them" can be seen as a reference to Sesame Street's theme song: "Sunny day, sweeping the clouds away". Donald Glover sharing a scene with Rashida Jones, whom he's rapped about before. During the early part of the film set in Gary and Walter's small all-American town, there's a cameo by Mickey Rooney, star of the Andy Hardy films set in a small all-American town. It's also a reference to the Backyard Musicals Rooney did with Judy Garland ("Let's get everyone together and put on a show!") Camilla and the other chickens sing "Forget You"... just like they did with Cee-Lo during the 2011 Grammys. One that almost doubles as Parental Bonus: the car being worked on by Mary in her class at the beginning of the film is a Morris Minor, the stock car from Peter Jackson's infamous R-rated Muppets parody Meet the Feebles. Fozzie playing a gig at a hotel and his subsequent recruitment bring to mind The Blues Brothers.

The Muppets (2011) / int_cf511248	comment	All Part of the Show: Piggy has the Muppets kidnap Jack Black to be their celebrity host. He spends the entire telethon tied to a chair complaining about how they made him fancy, the jokes are bad, and he really is not doing this willingly. The audience laughs, thinking it's a Running Gag. It works to Fozzie's advantage in particular, since his jokes are actually bad, and they think Jack balances them out with his complaints.

During the reprise of "Life's A Happy Song", there's a poster for Cars 2 in the background (most notably during the end of the song). This is probably an unintentional example; while Cars 2 was released five months before The Muppets, the film's finale was shot in January 2011, hence the Cars 2 poster.

For the first time in a Muppet movie, the rods attached to their arms that the puppeteers use to control them are digitally removed. Doesn't distract you in the slightest.

They would have lost the theatre if it weren't for a blow to the head to Tex Richman, which absolutely did not cause his personality to change! This applies to Walter as well. His whole life growing up was a constant struggle, and one of the few things that helped him get through was his brother Gary and his love for the Muppets. He not only managed to bring back his heroes together to save the show, but was acknowledged as one of them so unconditionally that it was nothing less than a dream come true. The scene just before the final music number was him being lifted by the Muppets in front of their cheering fans.

The Muppets (2011) / int_f8e010ce	comment	Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: After he succeeds in claiming the Muppet name and studios, Tex appears begrudged that the Muppets still have their fans cheering them on, as hinted in "Life's a Happy Song", as hinted by the way he says, "Will you please stop singing? You've already sung this song." He also yells at them to stop calling them "Muppets", as he now owns the rights to that name — right before a blow to his head from Gonzo's bowling ball triggers Tex's Heelâ€“Face Turn.

The Muppets (2011) / int_f97b5d33	comment	Shoo Out the Clowns: Once they finish the reunion montage, nearly the entire gang is back together in the rental car. But once they "travel by map" to Paris to recruit Miss Piggy, most of the side characters — Sam, Swedish Chef, Bunsen and Beaker, the Electric Mayhem, Crazy Harry — suddenly disappear, leaving only the main few Muppets — Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter, Rowlf, and Animal.
