THE MUPPET MOVIE (1979) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - James Frawley

Written by - Jack Burnes, Jerry Juhl

Starring - Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson

 

"The Muppet’s debut on the cinema screens chronicles their rise to fame. A delightfully funny movie within a movie, this film also relies on some great cameos from the likes of Steve Martin, Mel Brooks and supporting work by Charles Durning as the evil restaurant owner that sells fried frogs. The laughs are genuine and the story itself is lively with a hint of nostalgia that increases as the years go by."
