Kermit and Miss Piggy...

[fajrdrako]

On Dec. 11 I went to see the new movie The Muppets with fairestcat and didn't find time to write about it.

Good movie.

Now, I don't have the background with The Muppets that some of you do. I'm not sure I've ever actually seen The Muppets on TV. It didn't exist when I was young, old codger than I am, but one can't help knowing about the Muppets. And one of my favourite songs is Tom Smith's A Boy and His Frog. On the other hand, I was always a little uncomfortable with sexual stereotypes in it.

It wasn't clever, but it had a lot of heart, and I love musicals, and I love Kermit. I probably missed a few of the jokes a real Muppet fan would have got, but I got enough of them.

It seemed odd to see The Muppets as a Disney thing, though.
