“Unmasking the Muppets: The Surprising Secrets of Kermit’s Colorful Legacy!”
Jason Segel Got A Muppet Of Himself After The Movie
When Jason Segel tackled making The Muppets, the studio was so happy with him, they made a Jason Segel muppet for him as a gift. A lifelong fan of the property, Segel was thrilled.
The movie went on to make over $80 million and spawned one sequel and a television series.
Jason Segel And Amy Adams Operated Muppets On Set
During the car scene where Jason Segel and Amy Adams are surrounded by muppets, they had to help operate some of them. Because of the tight quarters of the car, there would have been no way to hide puppeteers to do it for them.
Somehow, we doubt Segel was upset about having to operate a few muppets. Part of the reason he got the job was his Dracula play in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
The New Movie Didn’t Mess With Tradition
Making an updated Muppet movie in 2014 was no easy task. The filmmakers could have relied on new technology to make things easier, but refused.
In order to make the muppets work, they used remote controls and batteries. The old school feel of the production helped them maintain their charm and introduce them to a new audience.
They Have A Star On The Walk Of Fame
Before The Muppets hit DVD, Kermit and his friends were given one amazing honor. They received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Everyone who is anyone showed up to honor the pop culture icons.
