To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit 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 Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.

This movie was pitch perfect. Completely recaptured the magic of the Muppets. 'Sing A Happy Song' could easily be put into any of the Muppet movies and it wouldn't look out of place. I hope they bring back the Muppet Show after the success of this movie. At least we know they will make a sequel.

I think I liked this movie more than my 8 year old son.

I wasn't surprised to hear that Brett McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords had a hand in the original music. Many of those songs were VERY Flight-like.

I canceled my HBO after they canceled that show.

There were a few that just screamed Flight, including the rap by Chris Cooper. In fact, a few of the numbers looked like they could have been directed by Brett or Jermaine. They had that kind of flavor.

Kids loved it. My wife and I thought it was good and nostalgic. It felt like the old Muppets. Not as funny as some of the other movies but still good. My kids are all of the sudden Muppet fans because of this movie. Now they want me to get the others.
