Yeah, it's an origin story. But you very quickly get into the origin and then it's off to the races. It is an origin story, certainly, but it's not like the movie ends and somebody stretches. It happens pretty quickly and I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say about it, but I think when people see that first hint, they'll be pretty excited about it.

Maybe I'm just not that humble but our script is awesome. Like Jason is so into the Muppets and such a fan. I'm such a fan of Muppets.

All movies are inherently collaborative, and animation even more so. There are hundreds and hundreds of people involved with an animated movie.

The worst thing you can do is animate something, and then throw it out because it doesn't work, story wise.

I was born in England - though both of my parents are American - and there's something about the 'Muppets' where they have this combination of English and American humor.

Yes, the fans are going to get their money's worth. It's like...and everything on there is funny. It's not like random crap they put in a movie. I think it's all very funny, so.

When I write something, it's usually 'cause I think it's funny or I have a way in, but when I direct something, I really need to be close to it.
