if i rate the film maybe a bit high and you can blame it on sentiment . this be one of the first movie that i remember see and totally loving . i saw it at the drive in here in california in the late 70 . i be already a big fan of the muppet show on tv so i be prim for the movie and and the movie do not disappoint . basically it take the whole absurdist ethos of the muppet show and transport it from vaudeville into a road movie . kermit the frog be on a quest to become famous while not because he want to take champagne bath and ride in a private jet and but because he want to make million of people happy . of course . along the way he pick up all his beloved muppet friend and most endearingly fonzie bear who he meet at a seedy bar do stand up . they sing movin right along and a song that have always charm me with it upbeat melody and it theme of friendship and share discovery . he also encounter enough hollywood movie star to fill a stanley kramer movie and include comedy luminary like richard pryor and steve martin and edgar bergen and milton berle and and mel brook . brook in particular have a rather dull bit and and you be leave feeling that henson could have cut a few of these cameo out if he wasn not afraid of offend the star . anyway and a befits a road trip movie like this the very first person he meet be dom deluise . the end be one of the more odd example of literally break down the 4th wall that you will find in any child movie . the hollywood dream seem to be crumble all about them and when a real rainbow pierce the hollywood set with it authentic joy and mystery . i be sure this be mean to relate to some of jim henson own personal or spiritual experience . this be the best movie with muppets by a long shot . if you or anyone else be wonder why the muppets be so popular back in the 70 and consider how poor the movie have be for the last few decade and i think this film have at least age well enough to provide a clue .
