In September 2011, Disney.com launched a new Muppet website at www.muppets.com to promote the new film The Muppets. The site spotlights the films' trailer on a splash page with movie information, plot overview, character bios, photos and more located within the site itself. New transitional videos featuring the characters are featured on the character pages. The pages also reuse character clips from 2008's Muppets.com's "Do Not Touch Button" as hidden Easter eggs. New transitions and hidden clips were added in late September and October, featuring Animal, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Pepe, a penguin, The Swedish Chef, a turkey, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Beaker, Jason Segel, Statler and Waldorf, and Scooter. Some of the 2008 Muppets.com videos are used as easter eggs on Gary and Mary's page.

As of 2013, the site has been redone as part of Disney.com's redesign. However, the games, and videos remain. The character descriptions were with those from their Muppets Most Wanted website. They also added Muppet posts on their "Oh My Disney" blog.

Links to The Muppets Studio's Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts appear on each page. Many of the pages were sponsored by UL Labs and Bounty.

The videos activated by background items in character pages (besides trailers).

Kermit's page
Picture	Activated by	Description
	Sign reading "Gags and shticks"	Kermit has turned yellow, and says to the user that he should get his monitor fixed. He turns to his normal green and says it was just him because his uncle was a chameleon. Fozzie comes and asks Kermit if his uncle was a comic. Kermit says no, so Fozzie says, "He could have been a stand-up chameleon!" Kermit turns red from embarrassment.
	Ladder	Fozzie is carrying a ladder, and on his way out, he is shown again helping himself carry the other end of the ladder.
	Wooden rainbow	Kermit is dancing to a hip-hop song and stops briefly to say that frogs invented hip-hop on the web.
Miss Piggy's page
Picture	Activated by	Description
	Sign saying "Beverly Hills Piggy"	Piggy complains to the viewer that every time the sign is clicked, a buzzer goes off in her dressing room, interrupting her "beauty sleep".
	Bags	Piggy returns again, saying "There you go again", clearly about the buzzer from before, then asks the viewer to come "closer" until she thinks they are close enough. Then she does her patented karate chop.
	Rizzo and friends	Piggy comes out, looking at her outfit and wondering aloud if it will wake her look big on the web. She says "nah" and goes away. Rizzo comes to say, "Boy, that pig sure puts the wide in the World Wide Web." Piggy yells, "I heard that!" and chases after him to execute her revenge.
Animal's page
Picture	Activated by	Description
	Electric Mayhem sign	Animal comes on, then takes a close look at the camera. He slowly comes forward, then opens his mouth wide and covers up the camera with it as though eating the viewer.
	Electric Mayhem band	Animal runs around freaking out and yelling for no apparent reason.
