Line 37:
** Gonzo ''will not'' be [[Muppets From Space|from space]], or at least, the story will never focus on that.
** Several old Muppets making a return, including a few obscure ones.
** [[Human
*** This turned out to be subverted for the movie itself. The hierachy of character focus goes something like this: Walter<ref>technically qualifies as both a human and a non-human; he's a "muppet" with a lowercase "m"</ref> -> Kermit, Piggy and Fozzie -> Gary and Mary -> all the other Muppets and human characters.
** Hell, the film's ''entire existence'' is enough for the fans to go crazy.
Line 43:
** Also, '''[[Pixar]]''' helped doctor the script.
** Well, it has 97% on [[Rotten Tomatoes]]. The wait was worth it!
* [[Base Breaker]]: Pepe's prior status as one divided fans into two camps: the "[[Demoted to Extra|thank God Pepe didn't have more screentime in this movie]]" camp, and the "[[One
** Also the fart shoes.
** "Me Party" doesn't advance the plot, and Mary might have taken too much of it for herself, but it's dang catchy.
Line 49:
** Amy Adams singing and dancing alone in a diner, surrounded by a border of LEDs? The part where she made bread can-can looked pretty crazy as well.
*** So Amy Adams does her ''[[Fridge Brilliance|own puppetting!]]''
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: '''''Gonzo'''''. Okay, it's really no surprise coming from ''him'', but he takes it to new heights when it's revealed that he's not only been ''[[Crazy Prepared|expecting]]'' a reunion and thus had been wearing his stage outfit under his suit for years, but he also had an automatic '''[[Self
* [[Critical Dissonance]]: One of the most frustrating examples. ''The Muppets'' was one of the best-reviewed movies of 2011 and most who saw it did in fact praise the film. Unfortunately, most general audiences seemed to think ''[[Breaking Dawn]]'' and ''[[Alvin and The Chipmunks|Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked]]'' looked like the superior movies and saved their money for those, leading to a solid but not certainly great box office total.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [[Flight of the Conchords|Bret McKenzie]] wrote the new musical numbers for the film. They're a ton of fun and even include some very ''Conchords''-esque lyrics.
Line 61:
** "Man or Muppet". ''It won an Oscar''.
** Both versions of "Life's A Happy Song", especially the {{spoiler|[[Triumphant Reprise]] led by the Muppets themselves}}. {{spoiler|The [[Crowd Song|entire crowd joins in too]], which is [[Fridge Brilliance|definitely what would happen in real life if the Muppets suddenly broke into song after being cheered on by their fans]]!}}
** "Let's Talk About Me". The [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] [[Big Bad]] breaks into rap [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|for no good reason]], to [[Piss Take Rap|predictable]] ([[Stylistic Suck|and hilarious]]) [[So Bad
* [[Ear Worm]]: ''Life's a happy song, when there's someone by your side to sing along''.
** The {{spoiler|ending reprise}} especially!
Line 86:
* [[Spoiled By the Format]]: Lampshaded about half an hour in.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: [[The Muppets (Franchise)/Tear Jerker|There are a few moments]].
* [[What Do You Mean
** As well as the fact that any five-year-old would know he's a caricature just by the name and [[Large Ham]] tendencies.
** To say nothing of the fact that Kermit is himself a CEO of The Muppets as an incorporated entity -- and while not stinking rich, was still well off enough to be living in a swanky house and keeping it in good repair. So it was one corp guy against another corp ... er, frog.
