Which is great, except when that something is a DVD/Blu-ray release, which usually means we already know all about the project from when it came out in theaters. What’s left to talk about? When those celebrities are Kermit the Frog and Pepe the King Prawn, lots. The two Muppets were in town to gab about the Aug. 12 DVD release of _Muppets Most Wanted_, so we took the opportunity to get some of those pressing questions answered. How, we wondered, does a Muppet promote a DVD release? How grueling is the promotional schedule? Does it bring up fun memories from filming, or is it a slog? We did manage to draw some answers out of them—but, as you’ll see in the video above, an interview with Kermit and Pepe doesn’t always lead where you thought it would. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3089003/muppets-most-wanted-kermit-pepe-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3089003/muppets-most-wanted-kermit-pepe-video/"},"headline":"VIDEO: Kermit and Pepe on How to Promote a Muppets Movie","datePublished":"2014-08-12T17:57:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-30T11:34:28.143Z","description":"The Muppets Most Wanted celebs dropped by TIME's offices to explain how it works","url":"https://time.com/3089003/muppets-most-wanted-kermit-pepe-video/","keywords":["movies","video","Muppets"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc7f15b869de909b8/69869f2835ba6fed94c03603/lily_muppets_1280.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Diane Tsai","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/diane-tsai/"},{"@type":"Person","name":"Lily Rothman","jobTitle":"Rothman is managing editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/lily-rothman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc7f15b869de909b8/69869f2835ba6fed94c03603/lily_muppets_1280.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Kermit the Frog Pepe the King Prawn at TIME","caption":"Kermit and Pepe tell TIME's Lily Rothman how to promote a Muppets movie","creditText":"TIME","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3089003/muppets-most-wanted-kermit-pepe-video/","name":"VIDEO: Kermit and Pepe on How to Promote a Muppets Movie"}}]}] ```
