Walter, is the world's biggest Muppet fan. On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, and his brother Gary (Jason Segel) and Gary's girlfriend, Mary (Amy Adams), discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets' former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.
“Man or Muppet”, with lyrics and music Bret McKenzie won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
A film session organized in partnership with Cinemateca Júnior that revisits the comedy universe of the famous characters created by Jim Henson, who marked the generations of the 70's and 80's.
This film can almost be seen as a presentation of this universe to the youngest. To watch without prejudice and then look for the unforgettable original characters in an afternoon of YouTube sessions...
