Kermit And Miss Piggy Reunited For Premiere

Friday, 27th January 2012 12:01

The Muppets have been in London for the UK premiere of their first film in 12 years.

In the US, The Muppets has already proved a box office hit and has an Oscar nomination for best song in a movie.

But its two biggest stars, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy told Sky News they were disappointed not to get nominations of their own.

"Sadly it seems that the academy does not recognise pigs," said Miss Piggy.

"Yeah or frogs," chimed in Kermit.

"I'm sure if they did we would have swept the awards for many years," Miss Piggy added.

In The Muppets, Kermit and Piggy join their fellow actors and friends in hoping to revive the Muppet magic and save their old theatre.

One US review described the famous characters' reunion movie as "clever, charming, and heartfelt".
