	The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)
		After the success of Kermit’s self-penned “Manhattan Melodies” stage show, he and the others are encouraged to take it to Broadway, which they attempt to do.
		Manhattan isn’t Se7en, after all, so I don’t think it’s unfair to reveal that the film has a happy ending.
		Ultimately, The Muppets Take Manhattan provided a positive image; were it not for the grain and other minor print flaws, the picture might have entered “A” territory.

	The Muppets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word "Muppet" itself was said by Henson to have been created by combining the words "marionette" and "puppet"; however, Henson was also known to have stated that it was just something he liked the sound of, and he made up the "marionette/puppet" story while talking to a journalist because it sounded plausible.
		Muppets are distinguished from ventriloquist "dummies", which are typically animated only in the head and face, in that their arms or other features are also mobile and expressive.
		Muppets may represent humans, anthropomorphic animals, realistic animals, robots or anthropomorphic objects, extra-terrestrial creatures, mythical beings or other unidentified, newly imagined creatures.

	The Muppets Take Manhattan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Muppets Take Manhattan is the third of a series of live-action musical feature films starring Jim Henson's Muppets.
		As was done with The Great Muppet Caper, Miss Piggy had a live action "stunt double," who was used in the long shots during the roller skating sequence.
		Unlike the previous two Muppet movies, which were produced independently, this one was produced by TriStar Pictures rather than merely distributed.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN
		The thing I like the best about THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN ($20) is the fact that the movie is a throwback to the good old days of Hollywood musicals, where a group of kids got together and put on a show.
		Unfortunately, no one is willing to take a chance on the Muppets or their show, so the group go their separate ways, leaving Kermit the Frog in New York to search for a backer on his own.
		THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN is presented in Dolby Digital monaural, which is a bit disappointing, since this is supposed to be a musical.

	Amazon.ca: Muppets take Manhattan (Widescreen/Full Screen): DVD: Frank Oz,John Bentley,Frances Bergen,Graham Brown,Art ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The third entry in the original Muppet movie trilogy and the first to be directed by Frank Oz, The Muppets Take Manhattan is not as memorable as its predecessors, but still manages to entertain on the same levels.
		As the film opens, the Muppet gang are graduating from college, and the big show they put on for the school is such a hit that they decide to go to New York and take their show to Broadway.
		I saw The Muppets Take Manhattan with my sister and nephews in a movie theater when I was about 19 years old and it is my favorite of the Muppet movies that I have seen.

	Muppet Central Articles - Reviews: The Muppets Take Manhattan DVD
		Of all the Muppet films (including Christmas Carol and Treasure Island), this is probably the deepest and most meaningful one for me. It makes me laugh heartily and often, but it carries with it a great sentimental value as well.
		In a way it harkens back to Muppet Babies (almost ironic, since this is the Babies' origin), where each of them imagine all these great places to explore (in the closet, in the basement, or on Planet X).
		As with the Muppet Movie, the special features (or should I say the interview and the Muppetisms) are quality, but lay a bit on the "not enough" side of the railroad track.

	The Muppets Take Manhattan - Movie Commentary by Scott Ventura (FeedMyEgo.com)
		In having characters who are not constantly smiles and sunshine at the core of the cast, the Muppet movies resemble the Warner Brothers' great Looney Tunes, which always had mischevious protagonists.
		MTM is also lacking in great acting from most of the non-cameo human performers.
		Muppets Take Manhattan's biggest set piece is the broadway show that brings all of the characters together.

		I distinctly remember seeing "Muppets Take Manhattan" in the movie theater when I was 8 years old--following the film, I immediately demanded that my parents purchase the soundtrack LP (yes, on vinyl!).
		"Muppets Take Manhattan," on the other hand, never fails to entertain me, still makes me laugh out loud (the purse-snatching scene; Kermit in his Bert Convy 'fro), and even tugs at my heartstrings.
		The Muppet performers are their usual, endearing selves: lovable, warm, likable.

		Of course, this was one of the Muppet films that actually was under the hand of the late Jim Henson, who unfortunately died in 1990 of pneumonia.
		But, this is a Muppet movie after all (not The Muppet Movie, which is still eagerly awaited) so things obviously improve, this time in the form of the son of a big-time Broadway producer who wants to put on Manhattan Melodies as his debut as a producer.
		Once again the bright colours of The Muppets have been handled pretty well, although it has to be said that this does not display the sort of glorious vibrancy that we would expect from a younger transfer.

		But once a producer takes an interest in staging a show and all the friends return, Kermit is struck down with amnesia and vanishes.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Muppets Take Manhattan
		The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984) is something of a bittersweet affair, marking not only Frank Oz's directorial debut but the final performance of Muppets creator Jim Henson as well.
		Their potential ticket to stardom is "Manhattan Melodies," a musical penned by Kermit, which his friends are sure will be a smash on Broadway.
		Although not the best film in the series, The Muppets Take Manhattan's heart is in the right place: the tunes are catchy, the humor retains the zany, self-depreciating qualities of the earlier Muppet outings, and you'll even get to witness the origin of the popular Muppet Babies cartoon series via a hilarious flashback.

		Kermit the Frog has just put together a successful variety show at Danhurst college (probably somewhere between Amherst and Dartmouth), and although he would like to mount it on Broadway so he would have a hit and be able to marry Miss Piggy, he cannot find backers.
		The Muppets are then forced to take jobs to support themselves, and it is while working as a waiter that Kermit meets the friendly Jennie (Juliana Donald).
		With stunning musical numbers involving a hundred or so Muppets and on-scene locations in New York City, the film is impressive in its merging of technical achievements and acting.

		Jim Henson is of course the creator of the Muppets, cultural icons and perennial staples in the lives of children all over the world.
		A few of the songs seem subpar compared to some other Muppet films, but the disarming and unpretentious way the Muppets sing the songs in their awkward yet endearing voices smoothes over the pedestrian nature of many of the tunes.
		The Muppets Take Manhattan is good fun for both adults and children.
