Alicia I love this movie so much
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
mitsubishizero Another childhood movie of mine that I enjoyed. It's more or less aged well. I like the movie because it's almost coming of age and shows Kermit before the Muppet's. The reason I say it's a coming of age movie is because the film chronicles Kermit exploring the outside world for the first time while growing up and finding a place for himself.
TheLittleSongbird Just for the record, I am a big fan of the Muppets, The Muppet Show and Muppet Babies were part of my childhoods, and I love all their specials and movies, excepting Letters to Santa, Muppet Wizard of Oz and this. Kermit's Swamp Years is not terrible, it's just that I had a very lukewarm reception towards it. The costume and set design are splendid, the voice work is great especially from Steve Whitmire and Dave Goelz and there are some cute moments such as the outtakes. However, the songs are mediocre, especially the uninspired lyrics, the script and jokes fall flat due to a lack of comic timing with the human cast with little of the material coming across as memorable or quotable, the story is dull and very basic with too much emphasis on the comic elements consequently the wit and heart is gone and the human cast range from so-so(Drew Haggard) to quite bad(John Hostetter). All in all, didn't do much for me, as much as I do love the Muppets. 4/10 Bethany Cox
bonniecaimi I bought this movie for my 2 and 3 year old because they've recently become interested in The Muppets and it barely held their attention... that is until there was a scene toward the end when there is apparently a scalpel fight between the Dr. Krassman and Kermit. They couldn't take their eyes off of it, and I couldn't believe mine! Jim Henson would be so disappointed. Why would a children's movie show a fight with scalpel? Yes, I know that no one was killed, but seriously... couldn't they have just let Kermit release the little guy from a cage or something? Does he have to wield a scalpel? My kids won't be watching this movie again, but now I'm waiting for them to start a sword fight with butter knives in the kitchen. Why was this movie given the rating of G instead of PG? Like I said, Jim Henson would be so disappointed at this. This was not his vision of a children's production.
Tommy Nelson stars: Steve Whittemire as Kermit and other. Bill Barretta as Croaker and D'fly. John Kennedy as Arnie the alligator and others. Dave Goelz as Waldorf. Jerry Nelson as Statler.Interesting little movie about Kermit when he was little. The good things about it were the great look the movie had due to the cameras they used to film it. It had funny references to the Muppets as they are today, including Kermit mentioning that he doesn't like pigs, an appearance by young men Statler and Waldorf and Arnie the alligator which was a character that appeared on the show and was in the Muppet Movie. The plot was that Kermit and Croaker the frogs are going to be dissected for a school project, but escape. Meant for little kids, but adults will enjoy it too.My rating: B minus. 81 mins.
