Although I thought the movie itself was nearly unwatchable, I’ve enjoyed nearly other element about the latest Muppet revival. One of the strengths of the recent movie release was the viral marketing. That trend has continued as Disney prepared to release the DVD to UK audiences. Here’s a hilarious video from Kermit and Pepe The King Prawn on The London Eye.
All the need now is a TV show with the same level of humor … who’s with me?
Update: Pepe also took questions from Twitter and recorded a series of video answers. Head below the cut to get started:
It’s been seven months since The Muppets hit theaters but there’s still a little more to see from the film. Or rather stuff that didn’t make it into the film – aka bloopers and outtakes. I think I liked that more than the actual movie.… Read More »Blooper Reel from The Muppets
One of the many experiences exclusive to the Disney Fantasy is the Midship Detective Agency. By using the shipwide series of enchanted art, guests are able to play a Muppet adventure game called “The Case of the Stolen Show”. During the guests take an interactive adventure quest around the ship, uncovering clues via more than a dozen pieces of Enchanted Art and physical “evidence.”
The adventure begins with the cast of Muppets preparing to stage a big performance. But there’s a problem: Kermit’s banjo is missing, Fozzie’s squirting flower has vanished, Gonzo’s crash helmet has gone astray, Animal’s drum sticks have disappeared and the Swedish Chef can’t find his cleaver! All of the props for the big show have been stolen by a cunning thief (or more likely, another Muppet).
Guided by a map and holding a unique game card in front of select pieces of Enchanted Art, guests unveil clues and find missing props. Elsewhere on the ship, guests may check a Muppets message board and find a Muppet-sized stateroom door to discover clues. Their mission is to solve the crime before it’s time to raise the curtain and light the lights on the Muppets’ big show.
Here Imagineer Karen (I apologize I didn’t catch her last name) walks us through the technology behind enchanted art and the Midship Detective Agency along with the Muppets adventure.

When Disney bought the rights to “The Muppets” in 2004, they not only bought all the characters, but the name itself. That leaves Henson Studios in an odd position.
