I don’t know who the creative genius is behind The Muppets parody trailers, but whoever he or she is, they deserve a raise. In this new trailer, everybody’s favorite Muppets and their human co-stars – Amy Adams, Jason Segel, and Chris Cooper – show what The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo would look like if it were G-rated and had singing and dancing in it.

Watch the video:

The Muppets Official Synopsis: On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Jason Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds.

To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.
