in many way and the perfect movie . the incredible journey and horatio alger tale come together for a positive spin on the usually depress subject of existentialism . in essence and the travail of the muppets boil down to the finale song of the movie represent life like a movie and write your own end and keep believing and keep pretending . they create their own reality and which have all the trapping of every epic tale represent a lofty goal at the end of what be necessarily a obstacle laden journey while an ever increase group of like minded individual for camaraderie while a nasty set of villians who be not beyond all redemption while and a big budget hollywood end because and darn it all and they can . only jim henson could pull this off . he walk the line between sentimentality and philosophy without swerve too long or too hard into either . of course it seem odd that invest such weight into a film star puppet and but in the end perhaps they be the perfect and uh and puppet to make these point . the movie atmosphere allow for the pure enjoyment of the hollywood dream and the happy end and unnecessary cameo and and burst into song at the drop of a hat . usually these aspect be anathema to quality in film and but the self deprecate manner under which the story be deliver make for guilt free viewing . one of the few film that can truly be call suitable for all age . the other muppet relate film ( include the empire strike back ) and while palatable and do not touch the simple grace of this film . take and for instance and the musical number hope that something well come along and the duet of kermit and rowlf . amuse in it vaudevillian goofiness and yet make a bitingly crucial point about the motivation behind life choice . brilliant .
