I'll make this short and sweet. I fondly remember the Muppets from my own childhood, and after reading some of the many stellar reviews for this new version, I brought my 6 year old daughter to see it. Not that she wanted to...seeing as how she had no clue who this motley collection of puppets were, I wasn't surprised. In line to get tickets, I overheard other kids, with a familiar sounding whine, "But i dont wanna see the Muppets! I wanna see the Chipmunks..."My daughter is one of those who HATES admitting when she was wrong about something, anything. But after this film ended, she had a new love. And as the days passed, the memories of the film grew stronger. I purchased the soundtrack on CD, and she was addicted. It was highly gratifying to see her demonstrate such wonderful taste! This is one of those rare 'childrens' films that plays just as well to adults, without talking down to kids. It's a fantastic film, and one of the year's best, kids or adults.
