Coming To Theaters March 2014: The Muppets….Again!

Didn’t you love The Muppets when you were a kid?  I did and I can remember seeing The Muppets Take Manhattan in 1984, one of the first movies I saw in a theater.  (I didn’t just date myself, did I?)  I’m so excited that there’s a NEW Muppets movie coming out next year and my kids will get the chance to fall in love with these sweet characters, too!  The Muppets…Again! hits theaters on March 21, 2014.

It looks like a great family film:

Disney’s “The Muppets …Again!” takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe’s most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine—the World’s Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit—and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais. The film stars Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon.

Disney’s “The Muppets … Again!” is directed by James Bobin and produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman. Bobin co-wrote the screenplay with Nicholas Stoller, who is also executive producer with John Scotti. Featuring music from Academy Award®-winning songwriter Bret McKenzie, “The Muppets … Again!” hits the big screen March 21, 2014.
