MUSIC: Let’s get things started with OK Go

If you aren’t a Muppets fan, then this probably isn’t for you.  For the rest of us, the Green Album arrives in stores and digitally today and it features a number of artists presenting their take on classic Muppets songs.  OK Go went so far as to do a video for their cover of the Muppet Show Theme Song.

POSTER: The Muppets

There’s a brand new poster for Disney’s The Muppets movie that features all the recognizable characters, plus Amy Adams and Jason Segal.

With the help of three fans, the Muppets must reunite in order to save their old studio from a greedy oil tycoon.

Much like The Muppet Movie, there are a crap ton of cameos with everyone from Mila Kunis and Selena Gomez, to Jack Black and Katy Perry. Personally, I think it would be awesome if Steve Martin returned… Orson Welles, not so much…

POSTER: Disney promotes Muppet movie with DC reference

Here’s one for you. While we had a chance to see the Muppet Green Lantern trailer spoof this past week, here’s the movie poster Disney released to go along with movie spoofing campaign.

You are correct – Disney owns Marvel, which is the competition of DC, yet the movie makes us think of Green Lantern instead of the company owned comic publisher… the head spins.

ART APPRECIATION MOMENT OF THE DAY: Skottie Young

The Muppets are certainly seeing an upswing in popularity again, partially due to the BOOM! Studios (now Marvel) comic book series, and partially to the upcoming Muppet movie from long time puppet fan Jason Segel.  Oz artist Skottie Young offers up today’s Art Appreciation Moment of the Day with his take on that drum banging animal… uh… Animal!

POSTER: Muppets movie poster all legs

No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you, Jason Segel is not in this poster for the upcoming Muppets movie.  For now, simply sit back and enjoy gazing at Fozzie’s legs for hours on end… you know you want to.

In cinemas soon, and I’m going to bet it will be in glorious Three-Dee… WOOHOO! Bring on the dummy glasses!
