“It will be great to welcome longtime fans back and give a new generation of fans a chance to see how we started, how Miss Piggy became a star and more,” said Caco the Frog. “Today, I’m proud to say, ‘It’s time to play music, turn on the lights and meet the Muppets at Disney Plus tonight!’ And as for Statler and Waldorf, the two old men on the porch, I can only add: ‘Sorry, guys, but … here we go again. “
