The Muppets at CERN

I just saw the Muppets yesterday and enjoyed it. If you have been thinking about seeing it and you like the Muppets, put it on your list.

I don't think it's a spoiler to tell you the Muppets get the gang back together again in the movie. They decide to round up the gang via montage. Look where they find Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker.

Yep, that's the ATLAS detector at CERN. Turns out Honeydew and Beaker spent their down time looking for the Higgs Boson. Yeah, I let out a little "squee" when I saw this.

    I like the Muppets, too, especially that guy doing the Everything Stinks newscast.

    I love, love, love the Muppets! I own a couple of old VHS tapes of them. My kids could watch them over and over again.

    The car full of them looks a little reminiscent of the JTI bus trips.

    Animal is in the movie, Drew, but he is having some personal issues. Don't worry, it's the Muppets so he works things out in the end.
