Muppets in Space (Johnsonverse)

Muppets in Space is a 2017 American sci-fi comedy film co-written and directed by Kirk Thatcher and the ninth feature film starring the Muppets. It stars Muppets performers Steve Whitmire, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Bill Barretta, Richard Hunt, Jerry Nelson, Donna Kimball, Peter Linz, and Kevin Clash with George Takei, R. Lee Ermey, and Carrie Fisher in additional roles. The plot follows Kermit being mistaken for the long-lost leader of an alien civilization, and the Muppet gang setting out across the universe to save him. 
Production began in 2013 after Johnson Industries acquired the Walt Disney Company; the story was conceived by Thatcher in the late 1990s before the project was retooled into Muppets from Space (1999). This was the first Muppet film with the involvement of Jim Henson Productions since said film as well.
