| | The Muppet Movie: Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition DVD Review |
 | | In 1979, fans of the Muppets knew them from their current television series, where Kermit the Frog was host, Fozzie Bear the disastrous stand-up comedian, Miss Piggy the resident diva, and the gang's home an old Vaudeville theater. |
 | | Of course, most viewers won't ponder such a thing, because the Muppets are, as they have just about always been, so believable as living, breathing frogs, bears, whatevers that you rarely consider the puppetry of it all. |
 | | The entire movie is framed as a premiere screening of the movie for the Muppet gang, which lends itself to potent self-referential humor, like Fozzie giving the Electric Mayhem a screenplay to consult, Statler and Waldorf's traditionally negative banter pre and post-screening, and the inevitable "flim" breakdown with the Swedish Chef. |
