The Muppets
When Kermit the Frog and the Muppets learn that their beloved theater is slated for demolition, a sympathetic human, Gary, and his puppet brother, Walter, swoop in to help the gang put on a show and raise the $10 million they need to save the day.
Critics Sentiment
Kermit and Piggy reconcile during Rainbow Connection performance
Mary returns to Smalltown after feeling neglected by Gary
The film jumps from its weakest point during Mary's departure to its absolute peak with the telethon's emotional Rainbow Connection sequence.
The Muppets delivers a heartfelt tribute that successfully balances nostalgia with modern sensibilities, building from a melancholic setup through character reunions to an emotionally triumphant climax. While human subplot elements occasionally drag, the film's genuine love for the characters and classic variety show format resonates strongly with both longtime fans and newcomers. The emotional peak during Rainbow Connection represents everything audiences cherish about the Muppets at their finest.
