So has Disney just given up on making Muppets popular again? They made two theatrical movies, a failed Modern Family clone, and then stuck to Disney+ specials. Probably for the best, we're far too familiar with how they mutilated their other money makers.
Hopefully this one has an actual story unlike the original. It was so boring, most of the movie didn't matter the slightest and I could guess every story beat. Not because it made sense following what had happened before but because you supposed to have this sort scene right about this point of a running time. Genuinely underwhelming movie.
Have they tried introducing a gay transgender Muppet of color?
They did this to my nigga Gonzo. Does that count?
I didn't watch the movie, but she ended up with the fucking mosquito and had abomination babies right?
The Muppets modern legacy will be just having occasionally unfunny skits on The Game Awards.
I'm actually quite surprised they managed to pull off the original animated version to begin with. The original story was incredibly dark, taking potshots at society's prejudices and sacred cows, and ending with nearly everyone getting brutally massacred, including Esmeralda and the Hunchback. If you ever want to traumatize a kid, have them read the unabridged original story...
