The Muppets (2011)
Bar none, the best theatrically released Muppet movie since The Muppet Christmas Carol and sadly that was almost 20 years ago.
Everything in this film just clicked, the songs, the gags, the story, even the "Celebrity cameos" were fun (My favorite cameo was the one made by Foo Fighter's front man David Ghrol, I won't give away what he was doing in the film, but it was a great moment.)
I have to give Jason Segel, Nicholas Stoller and James Bobin credit, they certainly have a lot of love and admiration for the source material and it shows in almost every frame of the film. Glad to see the spirit of Jim Henson's imagination live again.
