Many Muppet characters that had not been seen in years were rebuilt for the film. According to Muppet designer Stephen Rotondaro ; "A lot of stuff was recreated, some puppets had gone missing—like Marvin Suggs [the Muppet Show musician known for playing an instrument made of living balls of fluff]. Although the film used traditional puppets instead of computer-generated characters, there were several visual effects shots in the film, allowing the traditional characters to do things that they had not been able to do before.
Visual effects producer Janet Muswell Hamilton spoke of finding the right balance;. We wanted the original puppets to do more than they've ever been able to do before I spent lots of time with the puppeteers and the director, of course discussing ways to achieve our ideas.
We needed cool concepts that no one's seen before -- all while maintaining the integrity of the Muppets, the Muppet franchise, the Muppet name, the Muppet feeling. The puppeteers were very intent on keeping everything, as they said, very "Muppet-y. You must always keep in mind where the puppeteers will stand because they're there even though the audience doesn't see them , how they hold the puppets, and if they're able to move in certain positions. How can we help them achieve something new and exciting without undermining the creative presence of the Muppets?

Juli R Super Reviewer. May 14, The Muppets must reunite to put on a show and save their theater. Like The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle a few years ago, The Muppets cashes in on its nostalgia, supposing that the audience misses their bygone days.
And while I vaguely remember enjoying the show as a child, there isn't much about the original that this film brings back.
Whereas The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle had some remarkably funny puns, there isn't much to laugh at here. I chuckled a couple times, mostly at the remarks by the two curmudgeonly spectators, but there weren't any guffaws.
Most disappointing were the musical numbers with the exception of Chris Cooper's rap; during her songs it seemed that Amy Adams was forcing a grin, knowing she should look happy. The plot unfolds just as anyone knows it would. Overall, I wasn't impressed by this film, but Muppets fans might find something worth liking if only for the nostalgia. Jim H Super Reviewer. Jan 02, I had to watch The Muppets twice before I even liked it. I'm glad I did though because I enjoyed it the 2nd time around.
I wouldn't buy the movie but it's good enough that it's worth taking a look at. Brody M Super Reviewer. See all Audience reviews. There are no approved quotes yet for this movie. Best Horror Movies.
