They’re irreverent, irrepressible, and downright irresistible. They’re the Muppets! — starring in their basi 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 getting 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 publicize 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 galore of the greatest names on the silver screen — including Steve Martin, Mel Brooks, Orson Welles, and more! –-this totally restored and remastered 50th Anniversary Edition of THE MUPPET MOVIE is a seriously acclaimed comedy classic your family will treasure for all time.

Jim Henson vaulted Kermit, the widely known and esteemed floppy-armed frog, and his Muppet pals to the huge screen with this charming 1979 musical adventure. Like the TV show that inspired it, Henson and conductor James Frawley playfully recognise movie clichés and conventions and concede 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 favored is the tip-of-the-hat aspect 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 may sing! –Sean Axmaker

5 star movie, 2 stars for shoddy treatment and extras
By WTDK
OK to clear up some confusion about the latest incarnation of “The Muppet Movie” this edition is celebrating the fact that Kermit always a bit green around the gills is 50 years old. That said I’m completely unimpressed with this edition of a classic family movie. I’ll get to the reasons why in just a bit in the meantime here’s a recap of the plot for those of you who have forgotten what its about.

DVD NOT “censored”, but “The Muppets Go Hollywood” SHOULD’VE BEEN INCLUDED!
By Just A Fan
Let’s clear up some confusion here….the “grasshopper” comment was on the movie soundtrack ONLY. It was NOT in the film. If you listen to the song “I hope that something better comes along” from the soundtrack recording, MOST of the dialog exchange between Rowlf and Kermit prior to the beginning of the song, is DIFFERENT than the movie (not just the “grasshopper” line). The different dialog on the soundtrack was to help make sense of the scene in which the song takes place, for those who hadn’t seen the film.
I have an old VHS tape of The Muppet Movie from 1984, and the “grasshopper” line isn’t on that either. Nothing was censored for the DVD.

I agree that the Muppets’ 1979 TV special “The Muppets Go Hollywood” (which promoted the film’s release), SHOULD have been included on this DVD. I’m deducting one star for that ridiculous omission.

Great movie–but what the HEY? Censorship!
By A
I love the Muppet Movie. Its nods to film noir and buddy films, the music by the fabulous Paul Williams, the celebrity cameos, the characters–especially Miss Piggy and Fozzie.

Now then, I always watched the Muppets very aware that the movies were working on both the child and adult level, and happily put in the DVD anticipating my favorite muppet joke of all: when Kermit walks into a bar after having lost Piggy and says, sadly, “I’ll have a grasshopper, please.”

Great joke! Kids won’t know what a “grasshopper” is or that he is boozing over being stood up–they’ll just tune out til the music!

So why did they cut it from the DVD?

Especially when they kept the visual that Kermit drank alllll the champagne after Piggy left, and Rowlf’s assertion that every night he has “a coupla beers.” This PC thing has gone too far. I suppose it’s not enough to deduct a whole star–except it’s my all time fave muppet moment.

Oh well, love the movie. And love the DVD option of watching it in French, where they have to change Piggy’s trademark “Moi!” to “Me.”
