"It's time to bump that. It's time to strobe the lights. It's time to see The Moment at your local theater tonight. I'm pretty sure that's basically what the Muppets sing before a show. But thankfully, there's a new Muppets special out to verify that. I'd like to think this ushers in a new era of Muppets that actually sticks, but the newly appointed Disney CEO, Josh D'Amaro, was the parks guy in charge during the closure of Muppet*Vision 3D, so ... moving right along."
"Every few years, there's another attempt to make the Muppets mainstream, which is silly because they're a cornerstone of American pop culture. But if it means more Muppets, why not? This time, that attempt is a special, one-shot return of this sketch-comedy show, starring Sabrina Carpenter, filmed at the original Muppet Theatre. -Roxana Hadadi To commemorate the end of Brat, Charli XCX and director Aidan Zamiri teamed up to produce a strange part-mockumentary, part-satire on an alternate reality of the singer throughout Brat's success."
A new Muppets special revives the original Muppet Theatre format with a sketch-comedy one-shot starring Sabrina Carpenter. The special represents another effort to reintroduce the Muppets to mainstream audiences amid lingering concerns tied to past decisions such as the closure of Muppet*Vision 3D under Disney parks leadership. Charli XCX and director Aidan Zamiri created a part-mockumentary, part-satire imagining an alternate reality during Brat's success, featuring an overbearing filmmaker and standout celebrity moments. Keke Palmer headlines a satire about a couple moving to an ostensibly safe town with a mysterious abandoned mansion and strange marital behavior.
