1979

According to Kermit, this is the story of how the Muppets were first formed. After deciding to pursue a career in acting, Kermit takes off on a cross-country trek to find fame in Hollywood. Along the way, he meets Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Gonzo and the rest of the Muppets cast, and they all chip in to help Kermit evade the evil Doc Hopper, who wants Kermit to be his "spokesman" for his Frog Leg restaurant chain.

"Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me."
