Jason Segel , co-writer and leading actor of the first film, declined any participation on the grounds that he had "brought the Muppets back into the spotlight in 2011" .
James Bobin said that the film should remind you a bit of the “old, criminal flicks of the 1960s, just with a frog, a pig, a bear and a dog - no panthers, not even pink ones - still with the Muppets charm and a mix of chaos and destruction, music and gags ” .
Eve Stewart , the film's production designer, noted that she was working on a scene in which Kermit and Miss Piggy will remarry. In addition to Great Britain , scenes on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles were filmed to recreate the end of the previous one.
