Orange

The Muppets Gold Spot is a pre-film advertisement produced exclusively for UK cinemas for Orange. 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.

Kermit the Frog was quoted in the press release:

“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.”
