The Happytime Murders
No sesame. All street.
Directed by Brian Henson
Produced by STXfilms, Black Bear Pictures
A raucous, irreverent buddy-cop spoof that pairs a puppet detective with a human partner to solve murders in a world where puppets are marginalized, leaning heavily on crude humor and genre parody.
In a world where humans coexist with puppets—who are seen as lesser citizens—cast members of a beloved 1990s children's television series begin getting murdered one by one. Puppet Phil Philips, an ex-LAPD detective-turned-private eye, takes on the case at the request of his old boss in order to assist his former partner, Detective Connie Edwards.
