Great cover article on The Muppets in this week's Entertainment Weekly, including a very intriguing paragraph:
"It's no accident that the release of The Muppets coincides with the kickoff of the holiday shopping season. For months Disney has been giving the movie a major marketing push, targeting parents and kids simultaneously, and with The Muppets finally poised to hit theaters, the company's merchandising operation is primed to go into high gear. Plush toys, clothing, books, pillowcases, toothbrushes--you name it and you're likely to see a Muppet's face on it."
Not to mention, on page 58 (under a great review of Being Elmo!), there's a picture of a new Addidas shoe inspired by Kermit: It'll get a little easier being green when these suede Kermit-inspired sneakers leap into stores this month.
This all sounds very promising!!
