Scannain (via ComingSoon) recently revealed the following international trailer for Disney’s The Muppets, which is set to hit theaters on November 23. It’s not particularly awe-striking, but it certainly is a poster.
I am already dreading the day Disney decides to start unleashing character posters for this film. There are 15 Muppets featured in this one poster which is more than two weeks of marketing attempts for the studio and based on the Cars 2 marketing where the studio released nearly 50 individual character images for the cars from that film I have a hard time imagining they won’t attempt the same with this one.
On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Jason Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate. With secret, signature, celebrity cameos, The Muppets hits the big screen Nov. 23, 2011.
