To promote the theatrical release of The Muppets, several movie parodies hit the internet. We saw Kermit and the gang pay homage to some of last year’s releases, including The Hangover 2 in “The Fuzzy Pack”, the Green Lantern and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (“>cleverly called The Pig with the Froggy Tattoo). They mocked the release of Twilight: Breaking Dawn with a set of posters featuring Bella Swine and WereRowlf. And now their latest victim is one of the most eagerly awaited films of 2012: The Hunger Games.
The clip extracts all the zany “violence” from The Muppets and combines it into one trailer loosely inspired by the arena battle of The Hunger Games. Pepe even counts down as in the original Hunger Games trailer (but without the benefit of having a deep and intimidating voice as his counterpart).
Just as the earlier trailers promoted the theatrical release of The Muppets, the latest installment promotes the DVD and Blu-Ray release, scheduled for March 20. The Wocka Wocka Value Pack includes the two aforementioned versions as well as a digital copy of the film and a download card for the film’s soundtrack, including the beloved classic “The Rainbow Connection” and the Academy Award-winning song “Man or Muppet.”
May the odds be ever in the Muppets’ favor!
