Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear, from of the large crew of loveably fuzzy characters created by puppetmaster Jim Henson, have embarked on a quest for stardom. They take a trip to Hollywood, riding in or on a wide variety of vehicles along the way. They begin their journey on a bicycle pedalled by Kermit, but friends accumulate along the way, and they change vehicles to accomodate them. They have the additional challenge of fending off the entreaties of the heartless Doc Hopper (Charles Durning), who wants Kermit to make some advertisements promoting fried frog legs. Kermit must also cope with his amorous feelings for Miss Piggy, and hers for him. This appealing children's adventure movie has numerous scenes which do homage to classic films, and features a huge cast of Hollywood greats, from Edgar Bergen to Orson Welles, in cameo roles. A great box-office success, this movie paved the way for a number of sequels. One of the film's many songs, The Rainbow Connection, was nominated for an Oscar. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

This movie is truly a classic. It was nice to see the extas. Even in todays electronic world the kids still enjoyed the muppets.

Disney is very good and dropping the ball. No commentary. No documentary. Just a parody of Behind The Frog that lasted less than ten minutes. These folks don't realize that original Muppets fans have grandkids now. My son was bored by this and wondered where Elmo was.

Jim Henson's favorite puppets make their debut on the big screen. With great characters, fantastic songs, and a wonderful story, The Muppet Movie is absolutely spectacular and wonderful masterpiece by Jim Henson himself.

We shared this with our grand-kids for the first time-they were mesmerized! They have discovered the Muppets and now want to see everything they've done. This is proof-positive that kids still want to see good family movies!

I wanted to introduce my kids to the Muppets, but it just didn't click with them. Started too slow also. I didn't really like it either.
