Think of Linda Rondstadt singing with Kermit for emotion; Paul Simon and Miss Piggy for comedy; and, John Denver for all of the above. All on YouTube. What is missing that we all want (I believe) are those "moments" like John Denver singing in a garden with the heads of cabbages joining in on the chorus.

Originally Posted By Disney and beyond I would be very worried if they announced a new Muppets 3D show. The current one if my personal favorite, and the way the Muppets have been treated since Henson's Death, I'm sure the new film wouldn't live up to expectations. What I would like to see them do is revive the idea of The Muppet Movie Ride to Streets of America (IF it were me, I'd movie Pizza Planet to Pixar Place and add it there.
