Apparently we’re not the only ones who get a little bit excited about both Twilight and The Hunger Games. Here a couple of Muppets from the The Muppet movie, Kermit and Walter, sit down to discuss some recent movies. They then get into their reasons for why they like both Twilight and The Hunger Games. Check it all out below:

Kermit the Frog and newly-minted man-of-a-Muppet Walter graced MTV News with their presence earlier this week, catching the attention of everyone passing through our newsroom at the time. As you might expect, the “Muppets” stars are quite the charming duo in real life. It’s one thing to see their antics on the big screen; watching them come alive right before you, however, is another experience entirely. The effect they have on even the most serious of grown adults (though, admittedly, we don’t have many of those around these parts) is astounding: Within seconds of laying eyes on Kermit and Walter, years of growth and maturity immediately fade away, leaving you in a temporary state of childlike wonder. In short, I fully recommend meeting Muppets if you ever have the chance.

Of course, Kermit and Walter weren’t at MTV News headquarters purely out of the kindness of their hearts, kind though their hearts may be: They were here to promote “The Muppets,” arriving on Blu-ray and DVD on March 20. We were happy to chat with them about the awesome home-video release — it has an intermission feature, everybody! An intermission feature! — but Kermit and Walter had more than just their own movie on their minds: They also wanted to talk about superheroes, vampires, deadly tournaments and more.

Thanks Noor!

I love these guys. It’s been months since I saw this movie in the theatre and I still find myself singing ‘Man or Muppet’.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 has pulled off a rare feat this holiday season, managing to stay number one at the box office for a third straight week. This puts the movie totals at over $247.5 million domestically and over $550 million worldwide. Read all the details after the jump:

“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Pt. 1″ pulled off a rare feat this year retaining the top spot at the box office for a third straight weekend. With $16.9 million and $247.5 million to date domestic and over $550 million worldwide, the fourth installment of Stephenie Meyers’ vampire saga has given Summit Entertainment an early if not expected Christmas present. The picture also is a rare three-weekend topper this calendar year joining “The Help” (four weekends) and “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” (three) in that regard.

Before Friday many industry observers thought Disney’s “The Muppets” could use strong word of mouth to overtake “Breaking Dawn” for the top spot. Not only did that not occur, the Jason Segel passion project didn’t even come close with just another $11.2 million and a troubling 62% drop. With just $56.4 million so far its unlikely the “Muppets” will hit the $100 million mark.

Okay, it can hardly be called a real parody because it is rather a teeny tiny little clip, but all the same it is The Muppets and they are getting a little play on Breaking Dawn. Enjoy the clip below!

It’s almost Twilight, time for Breaking Prawn. You get it right, prawn and ….. dawn? (laughs)

Nice Pepe! In all seriousness, I really do love all the little parodies that people come up with. When something has gotten as big as The Twilight Saga has, how can you not see it turned into parodies? It’s all in good fun! Even a little something from The Muppets is pretty cool, I’ve loved them since I was tiny.

What did you think of the little Muppet parody for Twilight? Did it get a smile out of you?
