Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and their puppet peers return in a joyfully nostalgic movie musical, The Muppets. Kermit, who has a bachelor pad in a swamp, answers some questions:
What is 'The Muppets' about?
Well, it's the story of a Muppet fan named Walter who comes to Hollywood to meet us, and ends up having to get all the Muppets back together to put on a show to save Muppet Studios.
I guess it's the first Muppet movie that's really from a fan's point of view.
How does your life differ from the characters you play?
On the big screen I'm almost 5m tall, but in real life it's closer to 45cm .
I'd have to say the biggest difference is more height - and better lighting.
Seriously, though, my life is just about the same on and off screen.
In real life and on film, I'm surrounded by chaos, craziness, and romantic pigs - just like any other Hollywood star.
What's the deal with you and Miss Piggy? Are you two still together?
We have a professional relationship. I think we're professionals. She thinks we're in a relationship.
Actually, Miss Piggy and I are good friends, but just friends.
We like each other a great deal, but we are not romantically involved, despite her best efforts.
Why should audiences see 'The Muppets'?
It's funny, upbeat and full of laughs for everyone - frogs, pigs, bears, even people.
For new fans, it's a chance to see the Muppets in action on the big screen. And, for old fans, it's a chance to get together with old friends, and get a little crazy together.
