It’s crazy to me that Disney isn’t using the Muppets more actively.

    I love the Muppets. I wish Disney used them more.

    I wonder if they have any idea how to translate what made the Muppets so special in their time to a modern day. There is a zaniness and levity to them that most struggle with, combines with a grounded cultural commentary. It’s satire, parody, and hopeful comedy mixed together; and it’s super tricky.

    Muppets Mayhem is a good start, but I really wish they’d make human actors less campy at the same time. Jason Segal got this part right.
