Movie was very funny and the last time I laughed out loud this much was the Lego Movie.

Saw it this morning. Very enjoyable. A fine addition to the Muppet franchise. Honestly, if you're a fan of the Muppets, you'll love the movie. Plenty of gags, good musical numbers, and enjoyable cameos. Gervais is excellent.

Jim Henson’s Creature Shop Challenge is a competition series featuring ten aspiring creature creators competing to out-imagine one another in a series of challenges where they will build everything from mechanical characters to whimsical beasts, bringing high-end inanimate creature designs to life. The contestants compete for a prize worth up to $100,000 including the opportunity for the job of a lifetime - a contract working at the world-renowned Jim Henson’s Creature Shop™.

Brian Henson, Chairman of The Jim Henson Company and the Creature Shop, will serve as lead judge on the series. He will be joined by additional judges Beth Hathaway (a Creature Fabricator who has worked on such projects as Jurassic Park, The Walking Dead and Edward Scissorhands) and Kirk R. Thatcher (a Creature Designer with credits such as Return of the Jedi, Gremlins and E.T.). Gigi Edgley, best known for her role on Farscape, will serve as host.

Serving as mentors on the series will be world-renowned designer Peter Brooke, mechanization and animatronics master John Criswell and fabrication and artistic specialist Julie Zobel. The three are longtime Creature Shop artists who have dedicated their talents to the Henson legacy. Their tenures with The Jim Henson Company span decades and they bring a specialized knowledge having collaborated directly with Jim Henson himself. Working alongside the creature creators inside their workplace at the Creature Shop, they will be available for consultation and hands-on assistance.

The creative challenges in the series will showcase the fascinating process behind creature building, from conceptual design to sculpting, fabricating and mechanization. Each episode will end with on-set performances involving the elaborate and life-like creations. The creature creators will be tasked to create everything from hand puppets to large-scale theatrical creatures that can master the balance between realism and fantasy.

I love creative reality / competition shows. Project Runway, Face Off etc. But this looks PERFECT for me! Cannot wait.

Yeah I've been looking forward to this for a long time- the promos over the past few months have been quite tempting (the recent 1-eyed/2-eyed/5-eyed purple people eater one in particular).

Especially given my love of Henson's non-Muppet fantasy work, this looks right up my alley and gets to go where Face Off can't.

OMG, From a reissue (coming in 2029, apparently), Jim Henson & Frank Oz improv in character as Kermit and Fozzie / Piggy during camera tests during the filming of The Muppet Movie. It's incredible.

I liked Most Wanted quite a bit, but it was nowhere near as good as the original. I am hoping for another movie though.

When you say "the original", to which movie are you referring?

Indeed. As said in the movie Most Wanted is the 7th sequel to the first Muppet film.

Good question because now that I think of it, it's not as good as The Muppet Movie nor is it as good as The Muppets. Heck, it's nowhere near as self-aware as Great Muppet Caper. It is better than Muppets Take Manhattan.

I'm down with this. The two recent Muppet movies reminded me how much I love them. I had missed them and didn't even know it.

Yes, I agree. I'd like another film too but I loved the tv series as a little girl. Funny as heck.
