I changed it to the poster to the one similar to the Toy Story 3 one.

Thanks that looks much better IMO. You should keep it to whichever one you like, you're the OP.

I might have to buy that poster even if I don't like the movie. Haven't seen it yet though.

That one's great too. I've gotten some great stuff from DMR, well two things anyway.

Who is that imposter in between Animal and Beeker?

I wondered that myself.

He's Walter, he's Jason Segal's brother, and the Muppet's #1 fan!

He's great! I really think this is one of the best Muppet movies, even tho I haven't seen all of them. :P

Which ones have you not seen? And don't say Muppet Christmas Carol or Kidding.

I saw that one a reallllly long time ago, like 4 years ago. The ones I only remember is Muppets Wizard of Oz, Muppets From Space, and Muppets Take Manhattan.

I liked Muppets from Space better than Manhattan (even though I didn't finish it the other day), I have a soft spot for Pepe, which he wasn't in very much in this one (2011) very much, maybe 2 minutes.

Ok I just had the weirdest thought ever because of that.

It's from the movie. Oh, Jim Parsons, you made me cry of laughter in the Muppets!

That's what I heard, that it was in the movie, but I thought of something completely different.

I prefer the one without Jason Segel, too.
Given the one-sided audience reaction to the movie, I suspect Disney will in the final cover art as well.

But that's beside the point:
Now that they've had their egos artificially inflated to the point of getting over their earlier panic, when will they decided it's safe to release it in tandem with the 1979 Muppet Movie on Bliu?
(I'm just judging Disney's actions by the whole Tron Legacy comparison--Similarities right down the line.)

He's not a "Muppet character", he's something Segel thought up so he could scribble over the Country Bears script, and he needed an analog equivalent of the Haley Joel Osment bear.

(Disney marketing hubris aside, it's starting to sound like the time the real Muppet Show wanted to introduce that reporter character from the Season 2 George Burns episode to the press as a "new running character", and then found out he wasn't even worth one episode--Scratch one character, exited quietly.
And does anyone even remember the name of that obnoxious CGI character Jim Henson wanted to permanently write into the NBC show and the Disney Parks attraction? No, really, he was serious about it.)

He's a new Muppet character, you don't have to like it, but it's true. The movie deals with it. You don't have to like the movie, EricJ, but the general public and many fans, myself included, loved it. It was nostalgic, it was fun, and it's one of the best Muppet films in a while. You can keep up your one man crusade against it, but it won't change the fact that people are enjoying it. You can stick with the originals while we enjoy this one with the originals. Jason Segal took a lot of love and care when crafting this movie, and it shows. It's absolutely wonderful. Have you seen it yet? Because you keep spewing dreck in the Muppet threads about how awful it is, but you can't possibly know unless you see it. But as I said, if you want to hate it fine, that's your business. But quit raining on everyone else's parade because we're enjoying it.

And also, as far as the Muppet Vision 3D character, yes I remember him. His name was Waldo C. Graphic. And he wasn't the best, but he was still fun, and Muppet Vision 3D still stands as a very entertaining Muppet short.
