In a story on The Muppets for The Hollywood Reporter, Frank Oz, best known as the voice of Ms. Piggy, said he doesn’t think the movie “respects the characters.” (No word on how he feels about this fake interview.)

'Sup, pogs!
Let's all go to the movies, and let's all see the same movie, and let's discuss it here.
Gabe loves fan fiction. You Can Make It Up features his own personal alternate adventures starring some of our favorite characters.
After watching Death Sentence, a terrible movie starring Kevin Bacon as a father in search of vigilante justice directed by Saw's James Wan, Gabe embarked on The Hunt For The Worst Movie of All Time. This is his sad journey.
Plus it’s anti-semitic.
Where was all this conviction when you read the script for The Phantom Menace, Frank?
Or either of the following prequels? Let’s not excuse this oversight to JUST Phantom.
Waldorf: Did ya hear? Frank Oz says the new script doesn’t respect the characters!
Statler: Who does?
Waldorf and Statler: OOOOOOHHH HO HO HO HO HO HOOOO!!!
Actual excerpt from the new movie:
Waldorf: Did ya hear? Frank Oz says the new script doesn’t respect the characters!
Statler: That’s a reasonable opinion, coming from a man who has worked so closely with the franchise. I don’t think it would be proper for us to attack this man for merely expressing his opinion.
Waldorf: Indeed.
Facetaco doesn’t respect the “reply” button.
Also, this is the third reply error I’ve seen today. It’s Friday, huh?
Remember when Marlon Brando would only call him Miss Piggy?
I haven’t seen the movie, or even really seen a full trailer yet. But I agree with Frank.
Did they make the movie in Swedish or something?
bork bork bork!
whoops. should’ve refreshed.
That makes me sad. I hope it is an overreaction though because this movie looks so cute and I am so excited.
Me too! I can’t wait.
Ditto! I love and respect the Muppets and would want Frank Oz to approve. But then again I want to marry Jason Segel. It’s a tough call.
I like that the article notes that none of the former “muppets insiders” have seen the movie. Though, Frank Oz did read a draft of the screenplay apparently.
P.S. The article also notes that a muppet movie written and directed by Oz fell out of favor after Segel pitched his vision for a Muppets relaunch… so there’s that.
