The Muppets (2011)
The Muppets (2011) — Adventure / Comedy / Family Overview: A warm, funny, music-filled revival of the classic puppet franchise, The Muppets follows Walter — a lifelong Muppet superfan — and his human brother Gary and girlfriend Mary as they race to reunite the scattered Muppets and save the dilapidated Muppet Theater from an oil-hungry tycoon. Along the way you’ll find a homesick Kermit living in Hollywood, Miss Piggy’s haute couture life, Gonzo running a plumbing business, Fozzie in a tribute band and Animal in rehab — all brought back together for one big, last-ditch variety show. What you’ll experience: Expect broad slapstick, rapid-fire jokes, and tender emotional moments woven around upbeat, catchy musical numbers. The film balances heartfelt nostalgia and modern comedic gags, packed with colorful puppetry, energetic choreography and celebrity cameos. It’s ultimately a feel-good, family-friendly adventure about friendship, creativity and the magic of show business — you’ll laugh, sing along, and likely leave smiling and a little teary when the Muppets remind you why they’ve endured.
