Trivia
The Blu-ray release of the film is the first to use the "Disney Intermission" feature. Upon pausing the movie, rather than a freeze frame, viewers are presented with the famous Muppet Theater red curtains which offer a gateway to new Muppetational entertainment. A series of quick gags unfolds on the screen, different with each pausing of the film. The release's other bonus features are also shown from behind the curtain, often with new Intermission-only twists. The "Disney Intermission" feature can be turned off in the menus, reverting the Blu-ray to a standard freeze frame when paused. See more »Goofs
When Walter is practicing at the piano at the Muppet Theatre, the book moves from the left side of the piano (in the first shot) to the right side (subsequent shots). See more »Quotes

Warm, charming and funny, just like the Muppets I remember from my childhood. I'm not often one for musicals, but this one - aided by the brilliant combination of fuzzy puppet singers and Flight of the Conchords composition - hits all the right notes. It's funny without nudging into blue territory, a talent that's becoming more scarce by the minute, with a heartwarming reunion storyline that slowly reintroduces the cast and reminds us why we grew to love them in the first place. Loaded with unexpected cameos and sly winks at the troupe's long history, it's clear that a lot of love went into the making of this picture; the screen positively resonates from beginning to end. Though I was hesitant to revisit this old territory at first, by the final act I was grinning warmly and nodding right along, utterly entranced.
