The flick directed by Brian Henson (A Muppets Christmas Carol) and penned by Todd Berger (Kung Fu Panda 2) from a story he wrote with Dee Austin Robertson takes place in a world where puppets and humans live together, but the puppets are viewed as second-class citizens.
When the puppet cast of a 1980s kids TV show are murdered one by one, a disgraced detective-turned-private eye puppet takes on the case.
The film noir puppet comedy has been in development at the Henson Co. since 2008.
