Hey It’s Time For Something Fun: The Muppets Most Wanted Teaser Trailer

A few years ago I was incredibly excited for the arrival of a new movie about the Muppets.  When it finally came out, I was so delighted by it.  The Muppets was one of my favorite films of that year.  The film had a great warmth about it, some wonderful songs, and plenty of other reasons to be happy about it.  Fortunately, it was successful enough to make way for a sequel and that time is coming closer.  Next spring, The Muppets Most Wanted arrives in theaters and today marks the release of the first trailer for the film.  It features the main cast of this time around, which includes Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, and Ty Burrell, along with Kermit, Miss Piggy, and all the other Muppets of course.  Continue on to check out this brand new teaser, along with some images from the film.

 

 

 

Disney’s “Muppets Most Wanted” takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe’s most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine—the World’s Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit—and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais. The film stars Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon.
