How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A genuinely heartfelt road-movie adventure wrapped in vaudeville charm, where charm itself feels like the point. Kermit and friends stumble toward stardom with infectious warmth and the kind of sincere joy that makes you believe puppets can have dreams.
