    Jim Henson`s Muppets make their film debut in this charming story that chronicles their rise to fame. It all begins with Kermit the Frog sitting in a swamp singing and strumming a guitar. Realizing he can use his talent to "make people happy," Kermit decides to head for Hollywood. During his trip, Kermit meets fellow Muppets Fozzie the Bear, the Great Gonzo, Miss Piggy, and an odd assortment of others who join Kermit on his song-filled journey. But before Kermit and friends achieve their dreams of stardom, Kermit must confront the man who`s been trying to catch him since he left the swamp--a man who sees Kermit as a potential meal ticket.

    THE MUPPET MOVIE is a lovingly made, touching story for kids of all ages as only Jim Henson could make it. The film includes clever, very funny cameo appearances by Milton Berle, Mel Brooks, Bob Hope, Cloris Leachman, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, Telly Savalas, and Orson Welles. Academy Award Nominations: Best Original Song ("The Rainbow Connection"), Best Original Song Score.

The Muppet Movie

Netters from Katrina Wasteland, Mississippi Gulf Coast, Oct 12, 2007

Who doesn't love this movie? Great clean fun movie for the kids, the subtle adult humor, the wonderful long cast of cameo's (many now deceased), the memories.... I've been looking for a copy of this at a decent price for over 3 months and this was the cheapest. 100% new, sealed, Great deal!

Jim Henson is a World Treasure

kermitismyhero from San Diego, CA, Jun 18, 2007

All of the Muppet works were milestones of storytelling but this film in perticular, is I believe the "Flagship" of Muppet Magic. This film will go down in history and I believe will also have a huge come back in the future as we get more and more into the digital age, there is a sterile quality with the exception of the PIXAR animations. 'Ratatouille' is going to be an epic as well. If you buy this DVD you will be collecting a piece of animation history that will live on forever !!!

This movie is just as good as it was when I was a kid- great for friends and their kids now. The quality of the DVD was very good.
