There’s an interview with Jason Segel who is making the new “Muppets” movie for Walt Disney. Jason Segel reveals that every character from the Muppets is returning: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, The Animal, Sam the Eagle, the Swedish Chef, Scooter, Mr. Waldorf, Statler, Zoot, Janice, Dr. Teeth, Sgt. Floyd Pepper, Beaker, Lew Zealand, Rizzo the rat, etc. Like he said, the whole gang!

He also said they plan to keep the new Muppet movie very traditional and similar to the first three “The Muppet Movie”, “The Great Muppet Caper” and “Muppets Take Manhatten”. In other words, the next Muppet movie will be a serious one, not a corny popcorn flick like Muppets going to Space or fighting against Pirates or something.

Sounding good so far. If it does live up to the first three, I’ll definitely see it in theater.

I’ve always been a big fan of the Muppets.
