We've been looking forward to the Jason Segel-scripted reboot of the Muppets for a few years now (the poster even got us giddy) so you'll understand when you watch the just-released trailer for the Thanksgiving flick why we freaked out for the first :50-odd seconds—where are the Muppets we were promised? Why are we watching a preview for an Amy Adams rom-com called Green With Envy? And then it all made sense:
As the voiceover announcer stumbled on the name "Kermit... the frog?" we suddenly felt a huge sigh of relief. All your favorites seem to be there, and if the preview is any indication the sense of humor we grew up on looks to be intact. Could it be that after years of meh Muppets movies—The Muppets Wizard of OZ, anyone?—and a purchase by no less than the Disney corporation, the magic just may be (may be!) back?
