For those of us who grew up in the 70's and early 80's, the Muppets were a mainstay. It was sad to see the franchise decline. So when I heard that there was an effort to revive the Muppets, I was looking forward to seeing the results. I was not disappointed. The movie was well-written, well acted, and entertained my wife and I (mid-40's), our 13-year old, and our 8 y.o.
