Well, my avatar makes it kind of obvious but my favorite movie of all time is The Muppets, the one that was made in 2011. As a kid I actually didn’t like the Muppets or the Muppet show. I thought they were too weird and scary compared to Sesame Street which I really did love. Watching this movie changed my mind on all that. It showed me a whole world that I had missed and the story will go out of its way to make anyone who ever knew about them but forgot about them for a few years feel like such an asshole for letting them become a distant memory. I rarely cry at movies without dogs as the main focus of the story but this movie made me cry during the new Rainbow Connection scene when they all come out to sing it and I had never even seen the original movie!
I also related super hard to the new muppet they introduced, Walter. He was someone who was so passionate about something he was a fan of but got bullied for it because people saw it as childish which is just like I used to be about Pokémon. (Many other people born in 1994 only prefer the first generation while I was still into Gen 5). In the end he even finds his place among the very franchise he always admired which is something I wish I could have done.
