This is such a great movie. I loved it as a kid, and while I went through a nostalgic period recently I found this treasure and gave it the old test of time. First viewing, absolutely fell in love with these songs - this has to be some of the best movie music ever! That had be coming back for a repeat viewing or two, and the rest of the film really grew on me. Now, I can definitely say it is one of my all-time favorite movies. The Muppets are really great, and this movie catches them at in their prime, right off the height of the unforgettable "Muppet Show".
Essentially, it's a road movie. Kermit the Frog leaves the swamp and heads to Hollywood, and naturally his lone journey becomes a giant group trip as he acquires a bear named Fozzie, a thing named Gonzo, a glamorous hog we all know as Miss Piggy, Rowlf the Dog, a big scary monster with a giant heart (Sweetums), and the greatest foam-based rock'n'roll band ever built, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. Add unforgettable music, numerous celebrity cameos, some of the oldest puns in the book, and a cameo by Big Bird - and you have one great piece of cinema, now one of the most treasured videos I own.
If your a fan of Jim Henson's Muppets, this is a must-see if you haven't already. Fans of movies in general have gotta love it as well. Probably the Muppets' greatest big screen venture to date.
