The film was the first theatrical Muppets production to not feature Frank Oz and Jerry Nelson as their respective roles, though Nelson would make a voice cameo, thus making it his final Muppet film before his death the following year.
Filming began in September 2010 and was completed entirely in Los Angeles. Bobin was hired to direct in January 2010, and the film's supporting cast was filled out in October of the same year with the casting of Adams, Cooper and Jones. Walt Disney Pictures first announced the film in March 2008, with Segel and Stoller as the screenwriters and Mandeville Films as co-producer. In the film, devoted Muppet fan Walter, his human brother Gary and Gary's girlfriend Mary help Kermit the Frog reunite the disbanded Muppets, as they must raise $10 million to save the Muppet Theater from Tex Richman, a businessman who plans to demolish the studio to drill for oil. Bret McKenzie served as music supervisor, writing four of the film's five original songs, while Christophe Beck composed the film's score. The film stars Segel, Amy Adams, Chris Cooper, and Rashida Jones, as well as Muppets performers Steve Whitmire, Eric Jacobson, Dave Goelz, Bill Barretta, David Rudman, Matt Vogel, and Peter Linz. The Muppets is a 2011 American musical fantasy comedy film directed by James Bobin, written by Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller, and the seventh theatrical film featuring the Muppets.
