Following the cancellation of Muppets Tonight back in 1997, it seemed like the Muppets would never get to reappear in any films. However, almost a full year later, in 1999, we got introduced to a new film Muppets from Space, a couple years later in 2002, we got Kermit's Swamp Years and It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie. After the premiere of those two films, the ownership of The Muppets was later turned over to Disney, which in 2005, made a movie that was a complete failure Muppets Wizard of Oz, and then in 2008, Disney made a slightly more successful film Muppets Christmas Letters to Santa. In 2009, at the turn of the century, a viral music video parodying Bohemian Rhapsody starring Fozzie, Gonzo, Miss Piggy, Animal, Kermit, Scooter, and many more was posted online and the popularity of the Muppets skyrocketed. That same year, Jason Segel decided it was time for another Muppet film to be made. This one took all of 2009, 2010, and finally 2011, in which filming concluded for the movie. This one would simply come to be known as The Muppets (2011) and was designed for nostalgic Muppet fans to relive the experience all over again. The film introduced several new Muppet characters (Walter, Hobos, The Moopets, and 80's Robot) and reunited classic fan favorites (Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, Animal, Rowlf, Scooter, Camilla and Beaker) and many more (Crazy Harry, Lew Zealand, Beautiful Day Monster, The Swedish Chef, Sweetums, Statler and Waldorf, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Pepe the King Prawn, Rizzo the Rat, Marvin Suggs, Luncheon Counter Monster, Behemoth, Afghan Hound, and others)
