They're the Muppets! -- starring in their first full-length movie. See how their meteoric rise to fame and fortune began: with a rainbow, a song . . . and a Frog. After a fateful meeting with a big-time talent agent, Kermit the Frog heads for Hollywood dreaming of showbiz. Along the way, Fozzie Bear, the Great Gonzo, and the dazzling Miss Piggy join him in hopes of becoming film stars too. But all bets are off when Kermit falls into the clutches of Doc Hopper (Charles Durning), a fast-food mogul seeking to promote his French-fried frog-leg franchise! Featuring Oscar(R)-nominated music (1980, Best Original Song 'The Rainbow Connection,' Best Original Score) and side-splitting appearances by some of the biggest names on the silver screen -- including Steve Martin, Mel Brooks, Orson Welles, and more! –-this fully restored and remastered 50th Anniversary Edition of THE MUPPET MOVIE is a critically acclaimed comedy classic your family will treasure for all time. (c) The Muppets Holding Company, LLC and BVHE. MUPPETS characters and elements are trademarks of The Muppets Holding Company. All Rights Reserved. This simply irresistible first feature from the Muppets has Kermit the frog going from the swamps to Hollywood to be a star. As he travels and picks up his usual friends (Miss Piggy, Fozzie the Bear), Doc Hopper (Charles Durning) is in pursuit, looking for Kermit to be the spokesman for his frog-leg cuisine. A loose rendition of The Wizard of Oz, the film incorporates the same cagey humor as their breakout syndicated TV series The Muppet Show. This is one of the few times that a human cast (notably Steve Martin, Orson Welles, and Carol Kane) are integrated seamlessly with nonhumans. Worth noting is Paul Williams's score, which includes the Oscar-nominated 'The Rainbow Connection.' Williams's music, much like Howard Ashman's work on The Little Mermaid and other Disney films, provides more than atmosphere; there's a degree of magic here. Williams did not work on the future Muppet films until A Muppet Christmas Carol. His contributions made these films the best of the Muppet series. --Doug Thomas Jim Henson vaulted Kermit, the famous floppy-armed frog, and his Muppet pals to the big screen with this charming 1979 musical adventure. Like the TV show that inspired it, Henson and director James Frawley playfully acknowledge movie clichés and conventions and allow the characters to address the camera in asides, like a Hope and Crosby road film for the 1980s. The ambitious singing frog decides to leave his swamp and conquer Hollywood, gathering a group of friends along the way (Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and more) and bumping into oodles of guest stars making tongue-in-cheek cameos (my favorite is the tip-of-the-hat appearance by Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy). Meanwhile, despicable fast-food king Charles Durning pursues Kermit, hoping to make him the spokesfrog for his Frogs-Legs restaurant franchise. Austin Pendleton costars as Durning's sad sack henchman while guest stars include James Coburn, Dom DeLuise, Madeleine Kahn, Steve Martin, Milton Berle, Bob Hope, Carol Kane, Cloris Leachman, Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor, Telly Savalas, Elliot Gould, Orson Welles, and Big Bird. Paul Williams penned the bouncy, song-filled score. You'll believe a frog can sing! --Sean Axmaker Customers who bought this item also bought The Great Muppet Caper - Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition The Muppets Take Manhattan Muppet Treasure Island - Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition The Muppet Christmas Carol - Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition The Muppet Show - Season One (Special Edition) Customer Reviews for: The Muppet Movie - Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition   Rating - Misguided attempt at PC - Boycott! First - I love this movie. One of my favorites ever. Five stars, easily. So why the 2-star review? I bought it recently for my kids, and lo and behold, one of the best scenes is not there! Where is the part where Kermit, feeling forsaken by the departure of Miss Piggy, drowns his sorrows in a piano tune with Rolf the Dog? From other reviews I read here, it sounds like this scene was cut because of some humorous references to alcohol (which probably only adults will understand, anyway). ... Read More Rating - What a memory I was so pleased with this product. It arrived in no time. I grew up with the muppets and have the original on VHS, what a thrill it was to find it here!!!! Great service from shipper, will definately buy from seller again. Rating - The best movie in the entire Muppets feature films series!, I was only 10 years old when this movie came out, in '79, and after seeing it once or twice, in the theaters, I was hooked on it! Then, when it was shown on cable, I recorded it on video cassette so that I could watch it whenever I want. Then, a few years ago, after it came out on DVD, in 2001, I ordered my own copy of it. I love this movie for many reasons: the multitude of Muppets characters such as Kermit The Frog, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Gonzo The Great, Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem, Rowlf the Dog, etc., the many ... Read More Rating - Still A Great Movie This is one of those movies that is timeless. I watched it with my young grandchildren recently (ages 5 & 6) and they laughed their heads off. This was a great way to introduce them to the muppets as they had never seen them before. They wanted to watch more muppet movies. Rating - Takes me back I loved this movie as a kid, now my son loves it as well. I had forgotten about all the cameo appearances.
