2011’s The Muppets did exactly what it was intended to do, revitalizing the beloved characters and reintroducing them to new and old fans alike. So now that the Muppets are, once again, considered “a viable franchise”, as the opening song of Muppets Most Wanted humorously notes, where do they go? On tour, of course!
This installment finds the group getting a new manager, Ricky Gervais’ Dominic Badguy (the last name is French, he insists, and not pronounced like you’d think), who brings them on that tour as part of his big new plans… Plans that secretly include replacing Kermit the Frog (performed by Steve Whitmire) with the master criminal, Constantine, a look-alike amphibian -- minus a mole, that is -- who manages to switch places with poor Kermit. With the rest of the Muppets thinking Constantine is their fearless leader, they travel from city to city, not realizing the tour is a cover for Dominic and Constantine’s crimes and a master plan to ultimately steal the Crown Jewels.
