The three-time Oscar nominee sings and dances in shooting “Life’s a Happy Song” in Disney’s revival of “The Muppets.” Amy stars as Mary, a perky and popular shop teacher from Smalltown, USA. When her boyfriend Gary (Jason Segel, who also co-wrote and executive produced the film) suggests they take a 10th anniversary trip to Los Angeles, Mary starts seeing a long-awaited marriage proposal in her future — until Gary invites along younger brother Walter, who happens to be a Muppet and a huge fan of TV’s “The Muppet Show.” Walter wants to see Muppet Studios, but the Muppets have broken up, the theater is crumbling, and sinister oil baron Tex Richman (Oscar winner Chris Cooper) is plotting to seize the studio, tear it down and drill beneath it. Saving the Muppets’ old stage will take $10 million. Kermit the Frog reunites with Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo the Great and the rest of the troupe for one last big show.
Adam’s stated; “I got involved because Jason and Kermit sent me a DVD singing to me and asking me to be in the film. I started crying, and … I was definitely doing the movie.”
