What: The Muppet Movie
Where: @ home - Jonathan owns it
Why: I felt like watching it
Even though this movie was made in the 70s, it seems so timeless. I mean, besides the 70s fashions.
This story chronicles how all the Muppets became friends and became movie stars! Kermit meets a Hollywood agent in his swamp and decides to go to Hollywood to audition for a part. On the road he meets Fozzie Bear (after Fozzie bombs at a comedy club). Luckily Fozzie has a car, so off they go!
They run in the the Electric Mayhem band (Zoot is my favorite!), Gonzo & Camilla (a chicken), Miss Piggy and Rolf. They also run into Doc Hopper, who is opening a chain of french fried frog leg restaurants, and he wants Kermit to be the spokesman. Of course, Kermit is not interested, but Doc Hopper is obsessed!
Throw in a TON of 70s stars (honestly, I didn't recognize most of them - except Steve Martin and Richard Pryer) and a ton of classic songs ("Someday I'll find it, the rainbow connection ...") and you have a classic movie!

This is a great film-- I remember going to see "The Muppet Movie" when it first came out in 1979.
