I never watched a muppets movie.

You're one of today's lucky 10,000!

I like to think that anyone who says they don't like musicals just hasn't seen a good one yet
-
Because none were made?
-
I like them as plays, but as a movie they don't really appeal to me. Pick of Destiny aside, that is.
-
The Blues Brothers is a musical.
-
As someone who has enjoyed a musical previously I will say there is a time and a place and that time is "not ever if possible"
-
I think it's just that different people have different preferences. I don't like musicals nor concerts of any kind simply because I prefer picking the music I want to listen to myself. Plus I usually prefer the studio version to live. And seeing other fans having fun doesn't emotionally move me one way or the other. So at the end of the day I'd be paying a lot of money for a most likely lackluster evening as I have many times before accepting that it's just not for me.

When they announced Peter Jackson to direct LoTR I thought... the musical muppet director?

I don't like the Muppet movies...

I kinda agree with you, but my wife just told me that I was wrong, after I read this post to her. Most musicals are boring as shit and making it a muppet doesn't make it better.

Muppet babies >> Muppet musicals

I’m still hoping they’ll do a Muppets Princess Bride
-
Now that's a great idea! Using Statler & Waldorf (the old hecklers from the balcony) for Peter Falk's Grandpa role ought to be hilarious!
I'm gonna be spending hours now trying to figure out which Muppet to assign as each character from TPB - like who gets stuck as Prince Humperdinck (or the six-fingered man)? Thanks... 🙄
EDIT: noticed I somehow dropped the word "or".

Gonzo

I would LOVE that

How about ''There are very few musicals I've ever enjoyed the first time around, and repeat viewing is like a death of a thousand boredoms
-
I thought this was just a parody account, this is wisdom.

Heartily agree

People who think they don’t like musicals love Disney movies.
-
What if I like old school musicals, (west side story, singing in the rain) and Muppet movies but can't stand musicals made after Cats?
-
I don’t like musicals in general but anything by Andrew Lloyd Webber (writer of Cats) is especially grating for me, he tends to repeat a singular word, sound, or phrase repeatedly for a very long time in his compositions and it causes an instant and very extreme rage in me. Same goes for the song Mustang Sally, that piece of music needs to burn in hell.

I don't like musicals because I'm there for a story that's believable, and that I can relate to - nobody just breaks out in song when they get dumped, for example. Muppets get a pass because I already had to suspend my disbelief in order to even want to watch them.
Nah, you just have boring friends. Weirdo.
I'd rather my friends than the ones you seem to have with the annoyingly odd behaviors. 🤨
EDIT: Love the downvote from someone I'm guessing took this comment seriously. Chillax, my dude (or dudette, or dudex, or whatever you prefer).
So do you react the same way to sci fi or fantasy movies? I mean nobody uses magic or flies faster than light in real life. I've always been puzzled by this point of view because I don't get why this is where the line is drawn.
I know where you're coming from, but there are people who genuinely do not care for neither musical, fantasy, nor sci-fi.
That's not what suspension of disbelief is.
It's all about creating a story that's believable within the rules of the setting. So within the rules of sci-fi faster than like travel is perfectly reasonable. Hell it might even actually be physically possible we don't know.
But musicals don't really do that, they don't really explain why suddenly everybody is singing in perfect harmony despite apparently having never practised, it just happens and no explanation is forthcoming.
