When the Muppets graduate from Danhurst College, they take their song-filled senior revue to New York City, only to learn that it isn't easy to find a producer who's willing to back a show starring a frog and a pig. Of course, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy won't take no for an answer, launching a search for someone to take them to Broadway.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A candy-colored, musical romp through 1980s New York where a scrappy troupe of talking puppets hustles for their big break on Broadway. It's pure charm wrapped in songs and slapstick, about believing in yourself and your friends, even when the world thinks you're ridiculous.
