When the Muppets graduate from Danhurst College, they take their song-filled senior revue to New York City, only to learn that it isn't easy to find a producer who's willing to back a show starring a frog and a pig. Of course, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy won't take no for an answer, launching a search for someone to take them to Broadway.

"THE SCRIPT STILL NEEDS WORK!!!!" – kermit, and me

delightful as always. i cannot dislike a muppet movie; it's physically impossible for me to do. enjoyed seeing the sesame street characters at the end!! love how much they just toss the muppets around in classic muppet movies. like holy shit they're just flying through the air. weirdly captures graduating from college and having no clue what to do; i'm sure i'll rewatch this in 2 years. happy 2024 folks! let's all sellour shows
