Overview
When Kermit the Frog and the Muppets learn that their beloved theater is slated for demolition, a sympathetic human, Gary, and his felt-faced brother, Walter, swoop in to help the gang put on a telethon show and raise the $10 million they need to save the day.
Of all of the films that I watched with my children over the years, this was our favorite. Of course, they knew nothing of the history of the muppets – that was something that added to my enjoyment. The franchise had really fallen into disrepair over the years until this gem came along. Every note in this film is perfect – it is touching, funny, and has a great story. I would watch Segel (the writer of the story) and Adams all day long. And the music…. wow! I still remember the opening notes of “I’ve got everything that I need” – my son and I would look each other and I would pick him up and dance around with him. Magical memories.
