The Muppet Show will start streaming exclusively Friday, February 19, 2021 on Disney +. All five seasons will be included. Why is this noteworthy? Seasons four and five have never previously been released on home entertainment. Having grown up watching the original series on network television, we at CuteMonster HQ are elated to share the magic with the next generation.
Kermit the Frog
The Muppets (2011)
Upon first learning about the 2011 release of The Muppets, I was struck with mixed feelings of childlike joy and dread. Being given the chance as a parent to introduce my children to Jim Henson’s lovable band of characters appealed to me immensely. Yet Hollywood’s historical penchant for recycling beloved franchises based on profit motive rather than creative inspiration gave me pause. Would The Muppets, a musical comedy produced by Disney starring Jason Segel and Amy Adams, capture the magic of the original?
The Muppets are back!
Jim Henson’s beloved Muppets are back in theaters for the Summer of 2011. Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzy and the whole gang are back to entertain a whole new generation. Check out this newly released trailer for the upcoming comedy feature from Disney titled “The Muppets”.
