The Muppet Movie, originally released in 1979, was a musical road comedy film based off the popular Muppet Show. This show premiered in 1976 and ran through 1981. As a result, several other Muppet shows followed the creation of the franchise, including The Muppets, airing on ABC from 2015-2016.

The movie starts off with Kermit the Frog dreaming of being a movie star. Therefore, he then sets off for a cross-country trip from Florida to California. Along the way, he befriends Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and more. The film singlehandedly introduces the world to what we now know as some of the most recognizable characters.
