Jim Henson’s Muppets hit the big time in The Muppet Movie. In their first feature film the Muppets retell the story of how Kermit the Frog set off for Hollywood and found a group of friends who shared his dream of stardom. Like the television show, the film is full of witty, campy humor, and features a number of celebrity cameos from the likes of Steve Martin, Mel Brooks, Bob Hope, Richard Pryor, Orson Welles, and many more. Additionally, the musicals are immensely fun and entertaining, delivering such classics as “The Rainbow Connection” and “Can You Picture That.” Fun for all ages, The Muppet Movie is a wonderful family film.

Smart, funny and has aged really well over 40 years. Jim Henson's legacy still rings high today.

The Muppets have been with me for literally as long as I can remember. They are absolutely timeless. Everytime I watch them, and I have watched everything multiple times, I am having a lot of fun. They are a great means of escapism from your daily problems.

I must be missing something...sure there’s a few jokes that are kind of funny (the kind someone’s Dad makes where you inwardly roll your eyes and groan) but most of the film is just silly. I don’t want to listen to puppets singing out of tune, maybe I’m the wrong generation but it wasn’t for me.

[7.8/10] Kermit the Frog has plummeted to his lowest point. He’s gathered a ragtag group of aspiring performers with a dream to hit it big in Hollywood. Only now they’ve broken down by the side of the road, with no way to make it in time for their big audition. They sit around the campfire, lame More
