Trivia
The last Muppet film to have Kermit the Frog be played by Jim Henson before Steve Whitmire took on the role theatrically since The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) in the wake of Henson's death in 1990. See more »Goofs
When Kermit the Frog plays "All Together Again" with the glasses of water, the cups with more water produce a higher sound. In reality, it's the opposite. See more »Quotes

This is my least-favorite of the three Muppet movies of the Henson era. There just isn't enough Muppets. Most of the gang leaves during the very beginning and it's all about Kermit, Piggy and Rizzo. Great characters, yes, but without the whole wacky ensemble it's just not the same. That, and the film is kind of just reinforcing what happened in the original Muppet movie, only replacing Hollywood with Broadway.
Don't get me wrong, it's an enjoyable movie, but it's not grade 'A' muppet material.
