I enjoyed the first new Muppet movie, but I don't disagree with any of your criticisms of it. It was definitely safe, and I don't recall any of the music numbers. That said, I thought Jason Segel's affection for the Muppets franchise was evident and that he did it service. I'm looking forward to this new one, I'm a fan and will ever be. As a kid, the Muppet show was an event in our household, complete with bowls of popcorn and sitting cross legged on the floor -only 2 feet from the television. That opening number of the show is amazing and has never been matched in television history. I have a question for you, would it be appropriate to take a three and a half-year-old to this movie? I have a request as well, I think you should record yourself playing the ukulele and let us hear you do that song :) As for songs from a Muppet movie, surely nothing can touch the original version of Rainbow Connection with Kermit picking the banjo in the swamp. Awesome stuff!
