Muppets Most Wanted
NYICFF is thrilled to present a special sneak preview screening of Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted. The latest adventure from the beloved Muppet gang takes them across the globe as they embark on an international tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe’s most exciting destinations including Berlin, Madrid, Dublin, and London. But, as always, mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, and they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine — the World’s Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit — and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two. Adding to the action is Nadya (Tina Fey), a no-nonsense prison guard and Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon (Ty Burrell). And, in the grand tradition of the Muppets, be on the lookout for blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearances by a slew of famous faces. James Bobin, who (like us) can’t seem to get enough of the Muppets, returns to the directing chair after the 2011 hit The Muppets. Also returning is Oscar®-winning songwriter Bret McKenzie, who is a star in his own right as half of the musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords.
