The Muppets sing at the Disney D23 Expo

As part of the Walt Disney Studios presentation at the Disney D23 Expo on Sept. 12, 2009, the Muppets took the stage and sang "Rainbow Connection" among other songs. These are the only clips of the Muppets that Disney provided from this presentation.

@MissDisneyUSA She's always pretty. She's prettier than Rosie O'Donnell..

"Who's Kelly Preston?" Ha ha ha! Then again, I don't know who she is either. I also love the clip where all the characters sing "Rainbow Connection" from the Mark Twain.

@Tenorsax621 Actually, at the time the movie announced was "The Cheapest Muppets Movie Ever Made". But around early 2010 they dropped it in favor of "The Muppets". I attended this event and the 2011 D23 expo (I have the D23 Gold Membership) and I have to say that Artie Esposito was fantastic at performing Kermit, especially at singing the Rainbow Connection, although Kermit didn't talk for the rest of day 2 and didn't make anymore appearances after day 2 at D23 '09, which was sad.

I wonder if the Muppets visit their original home at The Jim Henson Company to meet their family (the Hensons if you don't know) from time to time.

I've heard rumors Disney is planning a relaunching of the Muppet Franchise. Can't wait! :)

I was there when they had the D23 Expo and the Muppets were there. It was so beautiful when Kermit sang The Rainbow Connections and to see the whole Muppet gang there. Made me feel like a child again
