Kermit the Frog and
Fozzie Bear, from of the large crew of loveably fuzzy characters created by puppetmaster
Jim Henson, have embarked on a quest for stardom. They take a trip to Hollywood, riding in or on a wide variety of vehicles along the way. They begin their journey on a bicycle pedalled by
Kermit, but friends accumulate along the way, and they change vehicles to accomodate them. They have the additional challenge of fending off the entreaties of the heartless Doc Hopper (
Charles Durning), who wants
Kermit to make some advertisements promoting fried frog legs.
Kermit must also cope with his amorous feelings for
Miss Piggy, and hers for him. This appealing children's adventure movie has numerous scenes which do homage to classic films, and features a huge cast of Hollywood greats, from
Edgar Bergen to
Orson Welles, in cameo roles. A great box-office success, this movie paved the way for a number of sequels. One of the film's many songs,
The Rainbow Connection, was nominated for an Oscar.
