Description
Compelled to leave his swamp to pursue a dream of stardom, Kermit the Frog makes a long and funny journey to Hollywood. Along the way, Kermit makes friends with Fozzie Bear, The Great Gonzo and finds love in the arms of Miss Piggy, all while eluding evil frog-leg restaurateur Doc Hopper. In their first feature-length outing, Jim Henson’s beloved creations are brought vividly, magically to life. Cameo performances by Bob Hope, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, Orson Welles and Mel Brooks.
