Disney’s marketing folks have had a bit of a task ahead of them when it has come to promoting the new Muppet film The Muppets. With the last full-on Muppet project being 2005’s rather lackluster Muppets Wizard Of Oz television movie, a whole segment of the film’s potential audience has grown up without really knowing the characters. The first trailer released for the upcoming film did a good job introducing the Muppets to the uninitiated and now the second trailer is here to give us an idea of what the film’s story will be. And if you’re thinking that the film is going to be just for kids, I ask you to listen to the song that the chickens singing. In true Muppet tradition there’ll be plenty of jokes for the grown ups too.
