I, like many of my peers, hold a certain fondness for the media we consumed when we were kids. Nostalgia goggles or not, I often feel like the media targeted towards the younger audiences these days can’t hold a candle to shows like Hey Arnold! or Ghostwriter. Because of this, I was especially excited a couple years ago when my favorite puppets, the Muppets, received a reboot courtesy of the folks at Disney.
However, for all my love of The Muppet Show and Muppet Babies, I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to see the first film in the revitalized franchise: The Muppets. Ever since the second film, Muppets Most Wanted, premiered, I vowed not to make the same mistake. To my good fortune, this was one vow that I actually fulfilled.
