Film: The Muppets Take Manhattan

When Kermit and his felt-lined friends decide to take Broadway by storm with the Muppets’ new musical, they find it’s gonna take hard work & perseverance to make it big in the Big Apple. Frank Oz’s solo directorial debut is delightfully magical, endlessly entertaining and a Muppet fan favorite!

“A genuinely fun confection of old-fashioned entertainment.” – Variety

“I liked just about everything about your movie. But what I liked best was your discovery of self. Kermit, you are no longer a frog with an identity crisis. You’ve found the right persona, old boy, and it will see you through a dozen more movies.” – Roger Ebert
