was muppets christmas carol really a flop? I consider it one of if not the best versions of a christmas carol ever! certainly way better than disney's recent 3d re-hash of it.

I have zero confidence in this film. I hope I'm wrong -- I'd love to see a great Muppet film.

I like "Mickey's Christams Carol".

I'll go so far to say its one of my, if not my favorite, christmas movies. its a tradition here that we watch it several times. muppets to me never died, they were just never being used to the potential they have. I really hope this movie works wonders and sets the stage to bring the muppets back to their former glory.

I'd love to see a Muppets rebirth! I used to love the TV show. The movie at Studios is/was great - but its getting a little dated.

This is great news. They need to do something new to introduce the younger generation to the Muppets. Currently, I hear a lot of kids at Muppet 3-D asking Mom and Dad "Who are the Muppets?" Without a newer tie-in, I could see Disney getting rid of Muppet Vision 3-D for something more hip and current ....... I certainly hope not, as there is a ton of stuff they can with the Muppets.

It is written by and stars Jason Segel!! With Cameos from Dave Grohl, Jack Black, Neil Patrick Harris and Zack Galifianakis. How couldn't it be awesome??

 

[donald...really]

It also stars Amy Adams. From what I hear it sounds very promising. I am looking forward to it.

in other news, apparently Marvel have bought the comic rights to muppets from Disney.

sounds a bit of a curious deal

LOL... NY Times is a bit late on the news... This has been in the works for a while.

I wonder if BOOM! will lose the other titles also (Finding Nemo, Cars, Donal Duck, etc.) that they publish for Disney.

I LOVE this movie. I always compare all other versions to the muppets
