Of COURSE the Muppet's Movie is anti-corporate!
The majority American sentiment is anti-corporate!
It's only been with a decade-long billion dollar propaganda campaign that the Corporate Empire has been able to convince a large minority that greed, excess profit and labor-busting is a good idea. America has ALWAYS, as a culture, supported the little guy against the Machine.
The Muppets are just more 99%ers - and the Corporate Banksters are running scared.

You may have already heard about this by now, but the press is blowing up at Fox over 'Follow the Money' host Eric Bolling's suggestion that "The Muppets," written by Jason Segel, has an anti-corporate agenda. If you remember the controversy surrounding Pixar's "Cars 2," this should sound all too familiar. It centers around the movie's main villain: Tex Richman, a greedy oil man.
Bolling explained on his Friday show, "The Muppets are back and being terrorized by an evil oil executive in their new movie. Liberal Hollywood depicting a successful businessman as 'evil,' that's not new. I’ll put it out there: Is liberal Hollywood using class warfare to kind of brainwash our kids?" Guest Dan Gainor added, "It’s amazing how far the left will go to manipulate your kids and give them the anti-corporate message."
Some have instead drawn comparisons to "There Will Be Blood," based on Upton Sinclair's "Oil!," suggesting "The Muppets" is vilifying corporate greed rather than corporations in general.

All the money in the world goes to buy privatly owned oil and coal. All that money is deposited in the private banks they own. The private banks controll the money supply, thus controll the interest rates, control the rate of employment, finance our elections, own all the media, write our history textbooks...
Its all the same thing.
The Arab Oil Enbargo was really Chase Mannhattan Bank and friends in a political war with Nixon, imo.
Nixons program to make the USA energy independent meant breaking the Chase Mannhattan etc monoploy on our energy supplies. Thats the Rockefellers.
Nixon Lost. The USA People Lost. The Banks, the Oil and Coal men won. But on the surface we still hold elections and go through the motions.
Something like when the Roman republic fell,..
I was raised on these movies, and somehow didn't turn out to hold the same opinions. In all those Brady Bunch-esque sitcoms, when they were about to lose their house to foreclosure and had to have bake sales to raise money for the 'balloon payment', even as a 10 year old I wondered, why weren't they planning ahead?
As they say, no publicity is bad publicity.. so fox calling them anti-corporate would make more people go see it to see if it is.. and thus supporting it even more. SO, thanks Fox "news".
Goes back to my cave...
This movie was financed by The Walt Disney Company, the single largest media conglomeration in the world. To suggest that it's anti-corporate is anti-logic.
Does anyone get what I mean?
They have a paper-thin plot, a goofy set-up, the most ancient and cliche story and plot points of any movie made in the last ten years, and that is why they rock. There is NEVER a subtle or subliminal message to them, they are meant to be light fun for the whole family. I mean... They're the Muppets... the Muppets.
Thank Goodness my daughter still likes Barbie movies.... the future is coming fast enough.
IT'S JUST A MOVIE!
watch it or not
its
NBD
some people will get all worked up over anything xP
