Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

I don't want to get into tedious details, but I just wanted to pop in here and say that generally, I enjoyed the film very much. Its the best Muppet movie in a long time. Its a love-letter to die hard fans.

I wished they would have had Fleet Scribbler at the end where all the reporters are at Kermit and Piggy's house. It would have been a great reference.

i wish it would have showed the kermie piggy flashback in the novelization

but wasn't that last scene with them at their house originally going to be the flashback? that's why piggy's in 80's clothes, right? i think they just retooled it so that it fits the final cut of the movie. so now showing a version where that's a totally different scene would alter the film a bit.

oh i guess so but

That's just how things go sometimes. Its rough, but what can you do?

The Muppets From Space junior novelization also had many scenes that I wished were in the actual Muppets from Space movie.

At least they found a place to use bits of that scene (in a different way) in the end credits.

As a side note, everyone knows that once a movie ends and the credits roll, you have the license to do whatever you want, For instance, an epilogue, bloopers, extra scenes just for fun, irreverent stuff, or whatever.

Perhaps someone will post the deleted scenes on Youtube.

muppets from space? scenes in the book? such as?

Well, in the novelization, Fozzie had more lines. (He spoke during the breakfast and dinner scenes) and at the end, Gonzo actually took the tine to say goodbye to Piggy and Fozzie. And a scene with Rizzo talking to Gonzo on the boarding house roof.

Just lots of little things here and there that would have made the film a little better.

oh maybe more money and sad no deleted scenes

By the way, I'm not sure if this has been stated before, but I just want to make an important point;

Regardless of the nitpicking and comments about what should have/could have been done-you can't please everyone, but the most important thing is the the film recived critical acclaim and was a success.

That bodes well for the future, and that's all that matters.

Right on! Wouldn't it have been cool too, if Louis Kazagger had been there to comment during the ninja kidnapping scene with Jack Black?

But like Mupp said, this is just a wishful comment, I, and I'm sure all of us, completely love the attention our beloved Muppets are getting as a result of this wonderful film!

Hey Muppet fan 123 , Thanks & im pretty thrilled with them too . im from Brunei (asia) so i got them from the local cinema at the mall here .
The u.k standee is pretty awesome too , would love to somehow get my flippers on it but i think that will drive ma mom bananas !!! =p

So good to hear this film is hitting parts of the world I didn't even know existed!

The trailer has a scene like that, with Rizzo telling Gonzo he's "freaking out the neighbors".

My favorite MFS line is from the trailer when Urbergonzo says, "Who put too much gunpowder in the canon?"

Probably got cut because it had nothing to do with painting a house.

I'm so glad Tim Hill didn't do the sequel he planned, "The Muppets think about going to the Beach, but find out they had more house work to do and postpone that trip until they re-grout the bathroom"

I don't know. I think seeing the Muppets re-grout a bathroom has the potential to be
hilarious (so long as it involves the Swedish Chef and maybe some sort of explosive).

Nah... if MFS was any indication, all the interesting characters would have left after the opening number, leaving Kermit and Fozzie to do it themselves.

Really... "OOH! Let's make them do mundane stuff!" How bad was that other director they had again?

I finally saw the movie last weekend with my cousin and we both enjoyed it. I most certainly will get the DVD when it comes out.

What was the song playing during the montage?
