The Muppets, starring Jason Segel and Amy Adams, is released today, and the new film and overload of Muppet madness all over the entertainment world have got us remembering our deep love of the Muppets and Jim Henson's other projects. They may have been put on the back burner in the last few years, but Muppet fever is no new phenomenon. Since the 1950s, Jim Henson and his creations have been shaping the landscape of entertainment for young and old. From all the way back to Henson's first project Sam and Friends, all the way up the new film, we've got you covered with a history of Henson and the much-adored Muppets.

Kermit the Frog and Jason Segel

Jason Segel and his Muppets co-star Kermit the Frog flew into Sydney earlier this week to give Australian fans a taste of their upcoming film. While Kermit wasn’t able to meet and mingle with fans at Westfield Bondi Junction on Wednesday, Jason was super-friendly with the crowd and took plenty of time to take photos and chat with media. The staff of Max Brenner even made him a chocolate pizza with the words ‘Merry Slapsmas’ written in white chocolate buttons! We spoke Jason about bringing The Muppets back to the big screen.

  • On whether working with the Muppets was what he expected it to be: “Yeah, and more. You’ve very nervous to meet your idols, and Kermit turns out to be just the dude you pictured he was as a kid. It was just a dream come true, honestly. I had a lot of responsibility on this one, in that I wrote it and was producing it and all that — I had a lot of hats on — but every day I would pinch myself. I had a list of childhood dreams that I wanted, and working with the Muppets was one of them. I never dreamed it would be in this capacity.”
  • On how hands-on he was with the development of new Muppet Walter: “Well he’s a puppet, so I was literally hands-in [laughs].”
  • On the pressure he put on himself: “The pressure is to honour a legacy created by Mr. Henson and Mr. Oz that means so much to so many people. That’s all I was nervous about: making sure I did justice to a thing that influenced pretty much every person on this planet.”
  • On what could top The Muppets, career-wise: “I would actually like to be president of the United States.”

The Muppets is released in Australia on Jan. 12.

The Muppets Send Up The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

The marketing campaign for Jason Segel's upcoming Muppets movie has been endlessly entertaining, particularly the spoofs of other films. In the latest, they tackle the trailer for David Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, giant font and all. It also shows us brand new peeks at the Muppet movie, including glimpses at some of the big guest stars like Rashida Jones, Neil Patrick Harris, and Modern Family's Rico Rodriguez.

It's Time to Meet the Muppets With the Trailer For the Movie!

You've seen the Muppet movie teaser (and probably one of the many parodies), but now we've got the real-deal full trailer for the film.

You've seen the Muppet movie teaser (and probably one of the many parodies), but now we've got the real-deal full trailer for the film. The preview promises everything from action to romance and is packed with all the Muppets we've come to know and love. I'm already loving the throwbacks to classic Muppet moments (Menomena!) and the songs, of course. Jason Segel and Amy Adams lead the lovable pack as a cartoonish couple making a movie with them, and we also get a glimpse of Chris Cooper as one of the very many celebrity cameos that have been promised.
