As music supervisor on the 2011's The Muppets, the native New Zealander wrote four original songs for the film, the first being "Life's a Happy Song." He won his Academy Award for the song "Man or Muppet." In an interview for the Los Angeles Times, McKenzie revealed he taught Chris Cooper how to rap, got in an argument with Miss Piggy in a recording session over how to sing a song, and that his daughter would ask him in the morning, "Off to work, Daddy? Muppets?," with her considering Kermit a friend of her father's. He considered the whole experience "awesome" and goes on to say, "When I was recording Kermit doing "Rainbow Connection," it was a strange "I've made it" moment. Working with the A-list. Aside from his work on the HBO series, he also made a cameo, as an Elf escort, on two of The Lord of the Rings movies; a role he is set to reprise in The Hobbit. He also guest-starred on the 22nd season premiere of The Simpsons, along with his Conchords partner Jemaine Clement. McKenzie was caricatured as Burt in a 2010 episode of Sesame Street.

In his time in America, he also worked as a advertisement sign holder. Bret also has an affinity for animal T-shirts and other very fashionable choices, including his Hair Helmet (which he designed and made himself). Many fans believe the character is called Bret McClegnie, but if one were to see the subtitles, they would discover he actually said "McKenzie". One would think some fans would have understood it only soundly like this because of his afore-mentioned heavy New Zealand accent.
