It's The Muppet Show.. Yeeeaahhh!!!

The Muppets (2011)
Strangely the film that this most reminded me of was Rocky Balboa(2006), another film about a hero lost in the mists of time who everybody thinks is way past his glory days, coming back for one last attempt to recapture the magic. It’s also, and this is no faint complement to say, The Muppets was even better, better than Rocky Balboa, better than anyone had any right to expect considering the recent downward spiral into dvd hell that The Muppets seemed to be suffering. This is easily the best Muppet movie since A Christmas Carol(1992), if not the original three ‘classic’ films. If you remember the Muppet Show this will reignite your childhood love, if you’ve never seen a Muppet movie before, this is a perfect place to start. Many have already said it but Jason Segal walks the fine line between reverence and self reflection perfectly, this is both absolutely nostalgic but also postmodern, thankfully not in the usual grindingly wearing way. None of the cameos outstay their welcome, indeed, I thought this was the best thing Jack Black has done in years, and Alan Arkin totally steals his scenes as expected. If there’s anything to fault, and it’s a very small if, perhaps it’s a bit too clever for it’s own good sometimes, but like South Park:The Movie(1997), before it, this is one of the greatest disguised musicals you’ll see, probably funnier than the so called top comedies of last year, and like Pixar, a kid’s film that is just as enjoyable for adults, if not more so- 80s robot= pure genius, and I did seem to have something in my eye several times during it. 10/10
