Muppets Take D23

Posted by on Sep 13, 2009 in Conventions, News

Just when we thought we saw it all.  We were ready to call it a day.  It had an amazing weekend.  We thought D23 proved to be everything you could have wanted from a Disney convention.  We were wrong.  Enter Kermit and the Muppets!

We swung by the Muppets panel and were floored by a few big announcements.  First was, of course, that the Muppets are back and ready to rock.  Here’s a few other tidbits from the panel.

  • Tiffany Thornton (Sonny With a Chance) will be doing a duet at the big Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with iconic Muppet, Kermit!
  • FAO Schwartz’s make your own Muppets “Whatnots” is coming to BOTH Disneyland and Disney World
  • Announced were 5 more YouTube viral videos.  ”Ode to Joy” by Beaker is the first of the series with more to come
  • “Bohemian Rhapsody” rewritten by Brian May just for the Muppets
  • Announced the revamp of Muppets 3D at both Disney theme parks
  • Announced another Muppet Movie titled “The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made”

Gonzo and Fozzy were on hand signing autographs.  We waited over an HOUR to get ours.  Amazing.
