After all, it’s been almost a decade since the adorable group was seen on the big screen. The latest attempt to bringThe Muppetsback in a big way was the 2011 adventure starringJason SegelandAmy Adams. The musical story was about Walter (Peter Linz) and how he struggled to find his identity in the world due to the fact that he was born as a Muppet, but he wasn’t an official member of the team. Through ups and downs, Walter learns that he can’t always live right next to his brother (Segel) and that, with love and support from the people close to him, all of his dreams were possible.

The Muppets' Last Appearance on the Big Screen
The 2011 musical movie was very successful, and it convinced Disney to greenlight a sequel calledMuppets Most Wanted. Although Segel and Adams didn’t return for the second story,Ty Burell,Ricky GervaisandTina Feywere all there to form a human cast that could keep up with colorful troublemakers. Since the sequel didn’t have as much success as the original, the studio decided to giveThe Muppetsa break, and while they came back for a couple of television series, they haven’t been able to establish their comeback to cinemas. Hopefully, projects likeMuppets Mayhemgive a much-needed boost to the franchise.
