Watch: The actual, non-parody trailer for "The Muppets"

It's been a long road since we first found out that the Muppets were returning to the big screen — with a script by the ever-reliable Jason Segel, no less — and we've suffered through cameo rumors and parody trailers. But now, the day has finally come when we can see the actual trailer for The Muppets. And it answers the burning question: are the Muppets in this movie? And the answer is: Yes! But don't look too hard for plot or anything like that. Instead, enjoy that snippet of "Ma Na Mah Na":

While I still can't say for sure this film will have the drive of The Muppet Movie or The Muppets Take Manhattan — films that actually impressed themselves on my infant brain in a very primal way — I'm willing to place a fair amount of trust in Segel and co-star Amy Adams. But if I get even a hint of Muppet Treasure Island, I'm out of here.

Jim Henson made great movies whose characters happened to be The Muppets. Post Jim Henson, the movies are built AROUND their characters being The Muppets.

Yes, this is a crucial difference.

Like many funny things, the muppets have always been best in small doses. Bring back the half-hour muppet show and I'm all in. Another movie? This movie? Pass.

Mhmm

The trailer doesn't make the movie seem all that appealing to me, but I'll still see it. I love the Muppets, damn it.

What's the news. I saw the trailer for the new Muppets Movie on May 20. Sorry Mr. Ryan, you need to go to the movies more if you want to report on this stuff.

I love Jason Segel. That is all.
