The Muppet Movie is a 1979 American-British musical road comedy film and the first of a series of live-action feature films starring Jim Henson's Muppets. Directed by James Frawley, the film's screenplay was written by The Muppet Show writers Jerry Juhl and Jack Burns.
Produced by Henson Associates between the third and fourth seasons of The Muppet Show, The Muppet Movie depicts Kermit the Frog as he embarks on a cross-country trip to Hollywood, California. Along the way, he encounters several of the Muppets—who all share the same ambition of finding success in professional show business—while being pursued by a relentless restaurateur with intentions of employing Kermit as a spokesperson for his frog legs business.
Notable for its surreal humour, meta-references and prolific use of cameos, the film was released in the United States on June 22, 1979, and received critical praise; including two Academy Award nominations for Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher's musical score and their song, "Rainbow Connection". In 2009, The Muppet Movie was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.

This is a rare clip from the 97-minute UK cut of 'The Muppet Movie', shown only in British theatres in 1979 and once on VHS. This extended scene features additional shots of Kermit entering the cafe, more of Fozzie's act dying on stage, more tap-dancing and extra shots of the ensuing brawl.
"The Rainbow Connection" was written for The Muppet Movie and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song in 1979. It is sung by Kermit as the movie's opening number and reprised by the whole cast of Muppets at the end of the movie. The single of this song reached #25 on Billboard's "Hot 100 Singles" chart in 1979. Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide. So we've been told and some choose to believe it. I know they're wrong wait and see. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me. Who said that wishes would be heard and answered when wished on the morningstar? Someone thought of that and someone believed it. Look what it's do...

Park Circle Films screened THE MUPPET MOVIE on April 12th as part of its Silver Screen series. Sponsored by the North Charleston Cultural Arts Department. Tickets: $5 (Free for premium PCF members.) "...there's always room in movies for unbridled amiability when it's governed by intelligence and wit. ...One of the movie's funniest sequences is a montage that dramatizes in lyrical slow-motion how Kermit and Miss Piggy discover their love as they gambol across meadows, stop by a waterfall and punt across a still lake until their passion takes control. I should stress, though, that "The Muppet Movie" is always discreet. It's also very well written by Jerry Juhl and Jack Burns and directed by James Frawley ("Kid Blue," "The Big Bus") with a comic touch that never becomes facetious. I'm in ...
"Rainbow Connection" is a popular song written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher and originally performed by Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson) in The Muppet Movie in 1979. The song was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song in 1979. I uploaded this high quality HD version of the video because the other versions are heavily compressed or the wrong aspect ratio and size.
