It’s no secret that I love The Muppets. Growing up they were a staple in my house and frankly it was a dream come true to interview some of those involved with the new film. As co-writer (along with Nicholas Stoller) and director, James Bobin has helped bring these lovable creatures back into the limelight and he has created another hilariously fun flick with MUPPETS MOST WANTED.

When I sat down with the filmmaker we discussed the challenge of bringing Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog back onto the big screen. What I loved about the interview is his absolute admiration for all things Muppets. It is clear that he has a great respect for what Jim Henson created. With the new film he gives a little screen time to some of the lesser known characters, and for many fans that will be a real treat. MUPPETS MOST WANTED is opening this Friday at a theatre near you.
