With Muppets Most Wanted , everyone's favourite inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational gang are back and bigger than ever.

Riding high on the deserved success of their 2012 revamp, Jim Henson's fuzziest and funniest creations have enrolled some of Hollywood's finest to join their madcap caper around Europe.

We caught up with Miss Piggy, Kermit, Ricky Gervais, producer Todd Lieberman and production designer Eve Stewart on-set of the new movie to get the lowdown on filming in the UK, celebrity cameos, Bret McKenzie's brand new musical numbers, and - most importantly - who's the biggest human or muppet diva on-set.

Check out some more images from behind-the-scenes of Muppets Most Wanted (including our man getting a hug from Piggy)...

Not only that, but a new trailer was released today. And it's as irreverent, silly and savvy as we've come to expect from the modern run of Muppet movie trailers...
