A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Angie Errigo

Jim Henson's beloved, zany puppets made their feature film debut in this entertaining adventure relating Kermit the Frog's inspirational journey from Georgia swamp tadpole to Hollywood star. Comedy director James Frawley imposes pleasing order on the charming proceedings while Henson and his long-time associate Frank Oz delightfully dominate as the manipulators and voices of Kermit and Miss Piggy. An indication of how big the Muppets were at the time is the more than a dozen silly star cameos (Orson Welles, Steve Martin, Bob Hope and James Coburn among them). The only letdown is Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher's disappointingly forgettable song score.
