      "Muppets": The puppets we played in those years

      The puppet family, which has grown up for several generations, has gradually declined with the development of the times and the advancement of technology. Not only did it lose its reputation at the time, even the puppet theater was on the verge of closing down and being sold out. There are abundant oil resources underground in the theater, which attracted ruthless wealthy businessmen, who decided to spend huge sums of money to buy the theater land for development. Seeing that the good memories...

      Life is a happy song

      After watching this film, I don’t think I will worry about why Gary has a puppet's younger brother, and why Muppet Pig can also be a senior editor. Just as I will no longer doubt that there are animals in Chuntian Huahua Kindergarten.

       The world of children and adults is different, our seemingly lifeless playthings may be carnival in the night in the eyes of children. So China has "Fantastic Numbers" and the United States has "Toy Story". When I was accustomed to simply watching the...

      The third best gift ever in the world

      "You gave people the best gift!"
       "Children?"
       "Oh, no, another one."
      "Ice cream?"
       "No, no, behind that..."
      "Laughter?"
      "Yes, that's history. The third best gift in the world since!"

      Yes, this silly-looking nostalgic musical is the best gift for the audience.

      I have never been a fan of Sesame Street. I didn't have any hope for such a silly-looking movie, but it turned out to be quite pleasant. The plot is really clichéd, but the details are...

      Hot chocolate in winter

      Warm and cute, funny and touching, and the music is good, except for the protagonist's belly, I can't fault it.

      But Muppets is probably not popular anymore. I watched it in New York movie theaters, although it is well received on Google There are so many people in the cinema, but even a quarter of them are dissatisfied. A few months ago, Harry Potter in the same cinema at the same time had to be in line for an hour.

      At that time, a gray-haired man was sitting not far from me...

      20120521hm The brain is a little short-circuited on Monday, and I need this kind of happy and brainless film to transition. Disney's sunshine swept away the gloom in Beijing's foul air. Muppets, tap dancing, musicals... The whole world is nostalgic, under the bombardment of special effects, with the ease and humor of the old days, to dissolve the tired body and mind. Be happy, even if you can find an hour and a half of comfort in the movie, that's fine. Every song in the video is great.

      I remember watching their films when I was a child, why are they so boring now, some vulgar and stupid singing and dancing shows, which should always be touching in the end, but the ending is so pale, boring, and very embarrassing. The supporting roles have all become monkeys, and being played like that is much worse than...

    The graceful singing in the film brought tears of happiness to the audience, and the charm of the puppets never faded ( reviewed by the St. Petersburg Times) .
