Orange is a telecommunications company based in Europe that offers Internet and other digital services.

The Muppets appeared in a pre-film advertisement for the company produced exclusively for UK cinemas called "The Muppets Gold Spot". The ad launched in cinemas nationwide on November 4th, 2011.

The segment features the cast of The Muppet Show (in a promotional sketch for The Muppets), where Orange (a UK cell phone company) has taken over the show, dubbing it "The Orange Show," building to a musical climax, and a reminder to switch off all mobile phones before the screening with the tagline "Don't let a mobile phone ruin your movie."

It was produced by creative agency Fallon, with DisneyMedia+ Solutions.

  Working with the Muppets, I’m used to things getting completely out of control and crazy. But thanks to the folks at Orange, I think we took out of control and crazy to a new level. It was a lot of fun, but I really hope they stick to their day job running a mobile network.
