I still love the Muppets even after all these years. Great characters.
Here's a quick tribute to Animal

Christoph Waltz has had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts, so now Ty Burrell will take his place.

As much as I love Burrell, I'm disappointed. Plus, I have to question the new casting, given that the role is an Interpol agent. Oh well... Guess we'll have to wait and see!

Wasn't the first one Segal's dream project or something? Is it weird he wouldn't want to be involved in this one or does it make sense he got to do it and that was enough for him?

it's a matter of being busy not of not wanting to do it

I started the first one and haven't finished it. It's like two months.

Yeah. Given the European adventure aspect, I don't think he would've found it necessary to have himself in the movie for anything beyond a cameo anyways. He probably would've been down to shoot a cameo, but this will be filming right during the busy timing of HIMYM filming. I think it'll be cool if they don't have a human main character and just have fun cameos at every turn like the old movies.

For shame. Granted, I'm a huge Muppet fan, but it's genuinely a great movie.

I guess I'm just indifferent to them. I might finish it today.

Apparently Ricky Gervais is in talks to be the main human character...

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

YES.

Edit: I was hoping for either him or Donald Glover.

[Smash Adams]

I hope Ricky doesn't give Kermit shit for believing in god

Continuity issues! Donald Glover was in the first one! Obviously, I have no idea what the script entails, but Alison Brie would be perfect for a female protagonist to join them.

Who said Kermit believes in God?

[wall e]

Isn't God Whoopi Goldberg in the Muppet universe?

[deanster321]

I probably like him more than I don't, but I can't see that working.
