The short, called ‘G,’ which teaches kids about the hard and soft sounds the letter can make, features Muppetized versions of several ‘Glee’ characters, including Finn, Rachel, Kurt, Artie, Mercedes, Sue Sylvester, and Mr. Schuester (who’s redubbed Mr. Gooster).

Now the people behind the upcoming movie, ‘The Muppets,’ have done a trailer of their own that pays homage to the buzzy clip. It shows scenes in the same stylish, lightning-fast way, and although they couldn’t use the music from the original, they gave props to the writer of the tune they could use.
