The Muppets are back in brand new, all-singing, all-dancing movie, 'The Muppets', on 10th February. Find out what happened when Craveonmusic's Tina came face-to-face with Kermit The Frog at the UK press conference.

The Muppets are an institution. For those who grew up watching The Muppet Show, and the various movies, it's impossible not to raise a smile at the thought of Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzy, and co.

Attending the press conference for the new movie was like a surreal dream, especially in the plush surroundings of the Mayfair Hotel in London.

Taking part in the conference were Muppet royalty Kermit, Miss Piggy (who arrived late), and director James Bobin. Empire Magazine's Chris Hewitt presided over proceedings.

To watch Kermit and Miss Piggy in action is fascinating. None of the questions were pre-set, yet still their responses came lightening fast, never missing a beat. They were also incredibly funny.

When given the opportunity to put a question to Kermit and Miss Piggy, an unexpected rush of fear/panic shot through me - especially when Kermit said "Hi Tina!"

Never in a million years would I have thought that I would be sat in front of The Muppets, let alone TALKING to them!

My question to Kermit was: "In the film, you're seen as an inspiration to The Muppets. What's the most inspiring piece of advice that you have ever been given?"

His response couldn't have been more apt: "Try to find a way to do what you enjoy and survive at it"

Meeting The Muppets is the stuff of childhood dreams, it's a moment I will never forget. If you're reading this blog then thank you, I have each and every one of you to thank for helping make it possible.

Disney's The Muppets is released in cinemas nationwide across the UK from 10th February. You can read our review here.
