The Muppet Movie

Parents who were kids during the TV show’s original run, and at the release of this 1979 big screen romp, can now pass on the fun to their own children—who’ll probably begin clamoring for the DVD. In a road-movie format, Kermit, Miss Piggy, and company set out to find fame and fortune in Hollywood. En route, they encounter various adventures, plus a raft of cameos from Milton Berle to Bob Hope. Ourdoor movie screened at dusk. (G) BRIAN MILLER
