The film is directed by James Bobin, written by Segel and Nicholas Stoller, produced by Martin Baker, David Furnish, Segel, David Hoberman, Todd Lieberman, and John Scotti, and features Bret McKenzie as the music supervisor.

[quote]Early reviews for The Muppets have been extremely positive. The film currently holds a 100% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Metacritic gave the film a score of 73/100 based on four "generally favorable reviews". Justin Chang of Variety called it "An effortlessly blending wised-up, self-relective humor with old-fashioned let's-put-on-a-show pizzazz. The Muppets is an unexpected treat." Todd McCarthy of Hollywood Reporter said it was "A mostly winning return for childhood favorties from a prior century looks to accomplish its goal of pleasing old fans and winning new ones." Joshua Tyler of CinimaBlend.com called it "One of the best movies you'll see this year." The Boston Globe gave it three out of four stars and said, "The result is refreshing on every level, a piece of nostalgia so old it’s new again, and a breather from Hollywood’s 3-D digital onslaught in favor of fur and fuzz." Ryan Dosier of the fan blog The Muppet Mindset said "'Life's a Happy Song' sums up The Muppets in the best way: 'Everything is perfect, it's falling into place, I can't seem to wipe this smile off my face!' And it's true... in so many, many ways. The Muppets have fallen into their place and on November 23rd and the days after, the support of the audience needs to prove it to see more and more Muppet projects. Go see this movie, Muppet fans. From one hardcore fan to however many of you are out there... Go see this movie. There is guaranteed to be at least one thing to make you grin from ear to ear, tap your toes, and give you shivers."[/quote]
