The Muppets 2011 ★★★★

Watched Aug 01, 2012

I really enjoyed this despite its darker, more realistic tone. This was perfectly put together as a comeback and I felt the conchords in the music which I think helped my mood.

I laughed, I really did. I think anyone who has a childhood connection with puppets can't help but have fun here.

My biggest concern other than the lip syncing of Chris Cooper's rap, despite it being cool, was that Disney seem to be buying up all that is cool in the world in the hope that it will hide the stench of their own troubled films.

I know, I know, they have no doubt had Jim Henson's show since at least Christmas Carol, but I had forgotten this. They stole (sorry, bought) Winnie the Pooh and merchandised the hell out of that too.
