Gang back to save theatre

The colourful ensemble of puppets, better known as The Muppets, return in a new film directed by James Bobin.

Kermit The Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and the rest of the gang are joined by Amy Adams, Jason Segel and Chris Cooper.

This time The Muppets get back together to save the Muppet Theatre from destruction at the hands of a money-mad oil baron.

Since their last adventure, the gang have gone their separate ways and found different careers and varying degrees of success.

When Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, discovers the home of his heroes is under threat, he vows to help raise the $10m needed to save the theatre by reuniting The Muppets for a live telethon with predictably chaotic results.

The Muppets (U) can be seen at Newark’s Odeon Cinema.
