Trivia
In addition to his real-life wife, Emily Blunt, John Krasinski is also joined by two former on-screen girlfriends. Amy Adams and Rashida Jones both play love interests to his The Office (2005) character, Jim Halpert.

An appearance by Elmo of Sesame Street (1969) was planned for a scene where lawyers would have nixed an attempt by the Muppets to have him host their show. According to Jason Segel, the cameo itself was forbidden by lawyers. Sesame Street Muppets had previously made cameos in The Muppet Show (1976), The Muppet Movie (1979), The Great Muppet Caper (1981), The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984) and various specials, but have not done so since the purchase of the Muppets characters by Disney in 2004.

Goofs
When Scooter turns his head to the side, it can be seen that he has no actual eyes on his face, only on his glasses. This is not an error for this movie as the Scooter puppet, going as far back as The Muppet Show, has never had eyes. His eyes were always just on his glasses.

When the Muppets plead Tex Richman to return them the theatre, the scene's establishing shot shows the Bank of America Center in Los Angeles as the headquarters for "Richman Oil". However, the same building can be repeatedly seen outside the office's windows when Richman performs his song. The scene was actually shot inside one of the towers of the nearby City National Plaza.

Q
A Note Regarding Spoilers
A
The following FAQ entries may contain spoilers. Only the biggest ones (if any) will be covered with spoiler tags. Spoiler tags have been used sparingly in order to make the page more readable.
Q
Is this going to be a musical?
A
With the exception of Muppets from Space, one cannot expect a Muppet movie without singing. The film will have songs written by Flight of the Conchords' Bret McKenzie, along with Muppet classics such as "Rainbow Connection," "Bein' Green", and "Mahna Mahna".
Q
Isn't that the plot of many other Muppet projects?
A
Yes, the plot is similar to other classic Muppet projects, but it's a way to reintroduce these characters to a brand new generation of fans.
