Muppets to the City

Muppets to the City is a 2022 American musical comedy film directed by Bill Barretta and Kirk Thatcher, produced by The Jim Henson Company and The Muppets Studio, and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It stars The Muppets, in their first theatrical film since 2014's Muppets Most Wanted. It is also the first Muppet film made after the departure of Steve Whitmire from The Muppets Studio in 2016 (and thus the first to feature Matt Vogel as Kermit the Frog), and also the first to feature no antagonist.

In a plot somewhat similar to 1984's The Muppets Take Manhattan, the Muppets travel to New York to stage one last Muppet Show, one that, according to Kermit, "first, celebrates the history and lore of the Muppets, and second, panders to Muppet geeks like Walter and the nerds who run Muppet Wiki." Along the way, the Muppets reunite with several friends from their past, including several retired characters from The Muppet Show, several characters from Muppets Tonight, Kermit's old friends from Sam and Friends, the cast of The Jim Henson Hour, Kermit's childhood friends from Kermit's Swamp Years, the characters from Saturday Night Live's "Land of Gorch" segments, and even Scooter's twin sister Skeeter from Muppet Babies (in her first official appearance in puppet form, and as an adult).

Meanwhile, the original Muppet Show sign has gone missing, and it's up to a search party of Muppets (Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter, Rowlf, Walter, Rizzo, Animal, Pepe, Robin, Sweetums, Camilla, and Uncle Deadly) to find it before it's curtains up on the show. Will they find the sign in time?

The film was released in the United States on May 9, 2022 (Kermit the Frog's 67th birthday) and received positive reviews from critics, praising the characterization and family appeal of the Muppets, the return of several classic Muppets, the film's nostalgic feel, the featured songs, acts and jokes, and the Muppeteers' performances (especially the classic Muppets recast with new performers), though most criticised the 8-year gap between this film and Muppets Most Wanted. It raised over $100 million against a $49 million budget, and is the longest Muppet film to date, clocking in at over 2 hours in running time. To reflect the film's old-school theme, instead of the current Walt Disney Pictures logo, the 1985 logo (and the 1992 Jim Henson Productions logo) is seen at the beginning and end of the film. The font for the end credits is the same font used on The Muppet Show. The film is dedicated to longtime Muppet builders Caroly Wilcox and Tim Miller, as well as Muppet Show director Peter Harris.

The film was released on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download on September 5, 2022 (the 46th anniversary of The Muppet Show), and on Disney+ on September 24 (Jim Henson's 86th birthday). Continuing the retro theme, in place of the current Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment logo, the 1986 Walt Disney Home Video logo appears after the viewer chooses whether or not to watch the movie with audio description. Bonus features on the home video release include interviews with the Muppets and filmmakers, audio commentary from co-director Kirk Thatcher and Kermit the Frog, a sing-along feature, five behind-the-scenes featurettes (including one on the recreation of the retired Muppets, prominently featuring puppet builder James Wojtal), "The Sensational, Inspirational, Celebrational History of The Muppets" documentary (hosted by Uncle Deadly), deleted scenes, trailers for other upcoming Disney titles, and more.

Plot
Sam the Eagle begins the film by giving a speech, attempting to deter the moviegoers from witnessing the "undignified madhouse" that is the movie ("Trust me when I say it; watching a motion picture featuring frogs and pigs and bears and...weirdos engaging in 100% organic weird stuff withers your intelligence, and distracts from more educational activities, like watching a nature documentary, or walking to your local playground, or watching Ses..."). Unfortunately, he is interrupted by Uncle Deadly, who tells Sam to wrap up the speech so the movie can start (but not before ripping him apart about how no one wants to hear what "this pretentious, feathered stick-in-the-mud" has to say), much to Sam's protests, claiming he is doing this for the sanity of the moviegoers.

After the title card appears and we get an overhead pan across Los Angeles to a performance of "Together Again", we get the familiar sight of Kermit in The Muppet Show logo, saying, "It's The Muppet Show! Yaaaaaayyy!" as we are treated to a remake of the show's theme song, complete with joke from Fozzie Bear ("My father always told me, never bring an elephant to a public swimming pool. They always forget to pack their trunks!") and final horn note from Gonzo, which actually plays perfectly, much to his irritation. After this, it's revealed that this is merely a rehearsal for the Muppet reunion show being held tomorrow night, which apparently honors the history of the Muppets and panders to Muppet geeks like Walter, and they all have a lot of preparation to do before that night. Kermit assures everyone that "a lot of friends" are coming, but doesn't specify how many, leading to Sam Eagle and Uncle Deadly lamenting that the Muppet Theater will soon become "a lunatic asylum for animals."
