Wocka Wocka! The Muppets Are Back And Better Than Ever! + Printable Muppets Coloring Sheets


The Muppet's are back and better than ever in their new self titled movie from Disney, The Muppets!

As children, both my husband and myself were huge fans of this furry lovable group of friends! So, we were more than a little thrilled when we had the opportunity to introduce our kiddo's to The Muppets when it released in theaters this past Fall.
We all enjoyed it so much, we went back to see it a second time while it was still in theaters! Since then the kids have regularly requested that we bring it home on Blu-ray and were so happy when the waiting was finally over! The Muppets recently released to "Wocka Wocka Value Pack" which includes The Muppets on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy + Soundtrack.
The Muppets includes a star studded cast, comical quips that will have the entire family laughing out loud, and nostalgic characters the that kids (and adults) will surely love.

Mary (Amy Adams) stars as Gary's (Jason Segel) girlfriend. While Gary is especially close with his Muppet brother "Walter" (pictured above left) he's excited to get away on an anniversary trip to Hollywood with Mary.

They've  planned this special trip to celebrate their Anniversary and have an exciting week of site-seeing planned (sans family).  At the last minute, Gary invites Walter to come along, thus changing the entire theme of the vacation.
Mary is hoping for a marriage proposal and romance and Walter wants only to meet his long time idols, The Muppets.

Walter is soon disappointed.  After he takes a lack-luster Studio tour, Walter learns that The Muppets are no longer working together, nor are they friends. He immediately sets out on a quest to bring The Muppets back together and he brings Gary and Mary along for the ride.  Walter must act fast though or The Muppets will lose their theater and their names to corporate greed and a group of Muppet wannabes, "The Moopets", forever. Amy Adams and Jason Segal are simply delightful in this film. The fun comedic storyline, bursts of song and dance and the lovable cast of The Muppets makes this one MUST SEE FAMILY FILM!

The Muppets have achieved official "Star" status!
                                                                                  
On March 20, 2012 the world-renowned Muppets received a star on the Hollywood Walk ("Wocka Wocka") of Fame, from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce in celebration of the release of Disney's "The Muppets" on Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD. The celebration was emceed by Chamber President and CEO Leron Gubler, with special guest speakers Rich Ross, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios and Lisa Henson, CEO, of The Jim Henson Company. Several Muppets were on hand to receive the star including Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal, Pepe, Sweetums, and Walter, the newest Muppet, who made his debut in Disney's 2011 film. The Muppets' star is the 2,466th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is located in front of the historic El Capitan Theatre.

The Wocka Wocka value pack definitely brings the fun in a BIG way! Half the fun of this new film is the delightful outbursts of song and dance, so having the soundtrack included was just PURE FUN for the kids!
