"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 of the past are about to be destroyed, the little master announced Walter, trying to use all means to help the puppet Comey Frog retrieve all kinds of solo puppets, organize everyone together to raise money, and not be taken by the wealthy businessmen. The theater estate is bought. It seems an unfinished task, after all kinds of unremitting efforts and warmth infection, finally let the glorious stage that had been eclipsed for many years reappear on the stage, shining on everyone's hearts.

In the age of nostalgia, when people were intoxicated in the epic nostalgic drama "The Artist" and the nostalgic "Hugo" for the masters of art, Disney lost no time in producing this family carnival that has been delayed again and again. "The Muppet" once again allows the audience to fully cherish their childhood memories. If the main tone of politics is removed, and there is a main tone in the movie, such a main tone comes at the right time and is extremely refined, directly causing many of the puppets to become the 2466th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It's a pity that our domestic creative team hasn't smelled the strong atmosphere of this keynote. In addition to blindly following the 3D trend and making up various ghost stories, the only thing with nostalgic impression is the constant remake of old movies. Tempted. Perhaps, by the time everyone reacts, this trend has already been blown and it has become an outdated oiran.

"In fact, the main creators of this film only did one thing: to return these cultural totems to their glory days, and this alone is enough." Yes, for nostalgia, there is no need to do too much superfluous things, just find a good scene for everyone, create a good atmosphere, and nostalgia together, any extra modification will destroy the good mood. Come to a few small songs, dance a few small dances, put all the familiar faces on the stage to show a small face, inspire everyone's fragile heart, and it will come to a successful conclusion. This film may not be too cold for Chinese audiences, but the effect of the film in North America is beyond everyone's expectations. It can achieve extraordinary results in the era of CG special effects. This in itself should be thanked for the United Kingdom, which has always loved puppets. Director James Pobin has a degree and utmost sincerity in the quality and plot of the entire film.

    The highlight is the 60-year-old Cooper dancing and singing Rap, although only for 40 seconds.

    Unless you grew up with ragdolls (like Sesame Street), this movie can be ignored. It's not that it's not good-looking, it's still a lighthearted and happy movie after all, but some points are really bizarre... and there are too many sudden singing and dancing clips, which are a bit abrupt...
