Am I the only one that likes The Muppets Take Manhattan?

Oh it’s great! It’s from the Jim Henson days of course so automatically it was good though.

Here's the thing. I don't watch a ton of Muppets. BUT, they feel like such a great fit for the parks. It's almost like IP doesn't matter for them to me as far as me being a die hard fan, it's just fun. I don't watch the movies really (outside of Haunted Mansion), and never really watched the shows a lot. But I know the characters, and I enjoy the Muppetvision show.

I do think Kermit is one of the most recognizable IP’s in the world. I’m not sure how you gauge that but he’s got to be up there.

This is because as you said, they fit the goal of the emotions the park is evoking. They belong there.

They are a blend of in the movies/property and still a touch about making them. It was a beautiful design to send up the novelty of 3D while having some features in it. The entire show satires the 3D novelty of being in your face while being in your face about it.

You can't be. After the original Muppets film it is my favorite and most watched. And Phil, Gil and Lil from marketed it well. ;-)

I was summoned?

I think I had my parents rent The Great Muppet Caper on VHS every time we went to the rental store.

No announcement once again.

Treasure Island is pretty good too

Treasure Island was one of those movies on constant repeat at my house when I was a kid.

No announcement once again.

I think it might be friday

I think it might be friday

Have we established where that came from and if it has credence?

 

[Stupido]

And margaritas at the midnight buffet!

Let a Muppets Treasure Island attraction replace pirates since Disneyland's is way superior anyway. Blind Pew would make an incredible queue animatronic heckling and looking for Billy Bones.

This either goes one of two ways. Announce Monsters going into AC on Friday at the start of the 70th anniversary, garnering goodwill amongst fans knowing they’re safe.

OR, the extremely tone deaf route of announcing their replacement at the kickoff of their 70th celebration

I think it came from Jim Hill.

A few pages ago.

Maybe Len Testa, or Jim Hill?

Not a good sign. As everyone knows, announcements made late on a Friday is intended to bury the news.

If they do this, they know it’s not what the guests want, and we know they are doing it because they care more about saving costs than their paying guests.
