The Muppets gather to watch their newly-finished big-budget rich-and-famous feature film: a talent agent persuades Kermit the Frog to leave the swamp to pursue a career in Hollywood. On his way there, he meets a bear, a pig, a whatever (his future muppet crew), and some special celebrity guest stars, while being chased by the desperate owner of a frog-leg restaurant!

2025 Was a great year for me and I think I did pretty well on watching movies too. (considering that I started my account August.) Watching this is a great send off for the year. Happy New Year!

one of my favorite movies of all time because it gives me hope for the future. It has such love held in the movie and you can feel it through the screen.
