This film is OK, but I have an affection for it as one scene was filmed in my home village of Haddenham, Bucks, England. Several of my school friends were chosen to play cricket on the village green, and the rest of the school went to watch the filming. The scene is where Kermit and Fozzy (and Gonzo, I think) land their balloon basket in the village pond, and meet Robert Morley's character. The location was also used to film a beer commercial in the 1970s with John Cleese. It is also the scene of my near-drowning when, aged 9, I walked on the frozen pond with my friend Tim (one of the cricket players in the Muppet film) and fell through the thin ice, only to be pulled out by Tim. Hey kids, don't walk on frozen lakes/ponds/rivers etc!
