Video: The Muppets Movie World Premier Red Carpet Interviews
Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the gang attended the world premier of “The Muppets Movie” tonight at the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles. Miss Piggy arrived in Piggy-Glamour-style in a chauffeur driven convertible car. Kermit chose a more standard ride with the rest of the Muppet Gang.
The twosome were joined by the newest Muppet, Walter, who he dishes on how he was “discovered.” And we hear from the two writers of the show, Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller about how they turned their love of the Muppets into a full-length movie that’s clever enough for the parents and action-packed enough for the kids.
Check out what the stars and the writers have to say about this new movie in theaters nationwide on Thanksgiving.
