When The Muppets hits theaters on November 23rd, it will bring back all of your favorite Jim Henson characters. Kermit, Miss Piggy, Animal, Gonzo, Beaker, Rizzo, Sam Eagle, Pepe The Prawn and all the rest will be represented on screen, but there will be a new face that you won't recognize along for the ride as well. His name is Walter and there's nothing in his life that he has wanted more than to meet The Muppets. In the first clip from the movie, released today, he learns that he may actually get that opportunity and he couldn't be more excited.

If I'm being perfectly honest, I'm not sure Disney needs to keep promoting The Muppets the way that they are. Everyone and their grandmother is insanely excited for the movie to come out and that includes every member of the staff here at Cinema Blend. This may be the first time ever that I've been more excited for a movie being released Thanksgiving week than actual Thanksgiving dinner.

In addition to the full cast of muppets, the new movie stars Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Chris Cooper, Rashida Jones and features a slew of guest appearances from practically every actor in Hollywood. To learn more about the film, which is directed by James Bobin and written by Segel and Nicholas Stoller, be sure to head over to our Blend Film Database.
