Muppet Central has disclosed the plot to the next Muppet movie that will be hitting theaters Thanksgiving weekend 2011.
On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world?s biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Jason Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets? former stomping grounds.
To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino house band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.
I really like the second part of how and where the Muppets have gone their separate ways. But must there be ANOTHER family movie with the plot of the evil developer doing away with (insert main character name here) cherished structure. And involved is the worst at way over using using this device – Disney.
Interesting Chris Cooper taking over the typical Keenan Wynn type character. But – “Tex Richman”. Sheesh.
Where is Doc Hopper when you need him! 😉 Would have been better if it was animatronic Walt wanting to raize the theater for a theme park.
Watch out, Jerry Lewis!
It’s all a myth I tell you. Myth! Myth!
“Yeth?”
