Wolff Movie Index

Muppet Movie, The(1979)

Wolff rating: EXCELLENT

Plot summary: Frog in swamp sets off to be rich and famous, but gets sidetracked by evil frog's legs promoter.

Biased, pithy comments: This is great fun for the young and the want-to-be-young. Kermit's facial expressions are precious, the songs are good, and I've never seen a puppet drive as well as Fozzie. It has little or no violence, a pleasant theme, and moves forward at a good pace.

Other Notes: Lots of fun cameos by stars from the 80s.

How many times I have seen it: countless

Starring: Jim Henson, Frank Oz
Directed by: Jim Henson
