The 1979 film follows the highly successful Muppet Show that introduced the world to the lovable cast of puppets. In The Muppet Movie, the muppets -- Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo and his pet chicken, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, Fozzie, and Scooter -- go on a road trip in hopes of making it big in Hollywood. Needless to say, things don't go exactly as planned, making this trip truly unforgettable.
