In the words of Animal, "SEQUEL!" Seriously, is it March 28th yet?Walt Disney Pictures have just unveiled a new trailer (below) for their upcoming comedy blockbuster Muppets Most Wanted. The sequel to 2012's The Muppets will pick up directly after the original motion picture's narrative, as Jim Henson's band of iconic puppets find themselves once again at a loose end and must set out on a world tour in order to resurrect their popularity across the globe.
If this potentially hilarious follow-up's marketing campaign has left you wanting for teases of its musical numbers, then want no more. Most Wanted's opening song is titled Sequel Song, and as you might expect on the basis of its name, its lyrics are about as metatextual as you can possibly get. Sequelitis, extras, the industry's reliance on franchises and rehashed plots are just a few of the relevant issues that go under the radar here in a brilliantly satirical manner, ensuring that the next month or so will prove to be one of the most difficult periods to endure yet. We'd truly love to proclaim that it's time to meet the Muppets, but there's a way to go yet. Our solution entails two simple-yet-crucial words: Muppets Marathon. You're welcome.
Muppets Most Wanted capers into UK cinemas nationwide on March 28th.
