  The movie was G-rated and I rated the movie a 4/5 for being clean, G-rated, simple-songs, and involving the muppets, big bird, and some famous stars such as Richard Pryor and Steve Martin.  The deduction was for it being not in my top 100 and for some strange/odd parts of the movie.

   The movie starts out with Kermit singing in a pond.  He gets approached by a man who is a Hollywood talent agent and tells Kermit he should try out for a role where a frog is need in a movie.  So Kermit decides to go after some thought.
   Along his travels, he does some singing and finds Fuzzy the Bear at a type of Salon.  While there Kermit gets roped into a stage act but thankfully runs off before people start to attack them for their poor performance.  This is where they get "a bear's natural habitat, a Studebaker".
   After much driving they stop at an abandoned church where a band is currently playing (Animal is at the drums).  A song occurs here and Kermit and Fuzzy drive off on the road with a new tie-dyed type colored Studebaker.  While driving, they encounter other people who want to go to Hollywood, such as Gonzo (with his chicken), miss Piggy (at a carnival beauty contest) and others, Bird Bird travelling to New York and a literal fork-in-the-road.  Also at a fancy restaurant, Kermit meets Ruff and they do a song there.
   But things get more exciting when miss Piggy gets captured (by a man who wants Kermit to be his spokes-frog for his new restaurant).  Kermit finds the whereabouts of miss Piggy.  He happens to get captured but manages to escape by slipping out of his hand-cuff handles and electrocuting the restaurant owner.
   Once they escape they all board their bus (gotten from the band people meet at the church), they all head to Hollywood to try out for the audition.  They all go in together into the reception office and demand to see the man for auditions.  At this the receptionist, tells them that he is busy but barge into the big shots office anyways.  At this they tell him that they are there to be Hollywood stars and the big wig likes the group and ends up with them all being hired for a movie.
   In the End, Kermit and the rest of the muppets do a big song (in a giant stage) at the end which recaptures some of the best and memorable moments of the movie and leaves people with a happy smile on their smile (or a puzzled look).
