The Muppets Take Manhattan

Movie Summary

Released: 1986
Kermit and the Muppet clan go to New York to try to get a revue staged on Broadway. Once there, they find this to be quite a daunting task, so each of the Muppets go off in their own direction and find 9 to 5 jobs. But once a producer takes an interest in staging a show and all the friends return, Kermit is struck down with amnesia and vanishes.

This was the third big-screen Muppet film (after "The Muppet Movie" and "The Great Muppet Caper") and the final Muppet film to be helmed by Jim Henson. Once again, celebrity cameos and inside-jokes were rampant. Due to the overwhelming success of a flashback sequence that featured the Muppet characters as infants, the series "Muppet Babies" soon followed.

I just watched this last night on video tape. I know that it's on DVD, and it's been on DVD since 1999. I do wish that the DVD covor looked like the old video cover from the 80s.

It's good to see the old trailer of The Muppet's Take Manhattan here at RetroJunk. I first saw this trailer over at YouTube. There is another muppet trailer over at YouTube, which is to The Great Muppet Caper. That one hasn't been posted here onto RetroJunk yet.

Here is a link to that trailer to The Great Muppet Caper...
