While I have some problems with the ending I think overall this was a pretty great film and a welcome addition to the Muppet canon. It feels like much more of a musical than their other films, despite the abundance of singing. There is also a great deal of time spent with humans than the actual muppets. Overall it feels like a nice set up for more.

James Bobin does a fine job and his direction coupled with Bret McKenzie's songs does make it feel very Flight of the Conchords, but still most of the songs are catchier than a lot of the Muppets' previous output.

Once again, it's filled with bad puns and silly humour, a few songs and a lot of celebrity cameos. And a few nice references to past films and how much the world has changed since their last outings. It was great to watch the originals again before seeing this.

I didn't really care much about the human storylines but they all did a fine job.

Oh and added bonus, you get the next Toy Story short before the feature. Neat.
