Description

After a fateful meeting with a big-time talent agent, Kermit the Frog heads for Hollywood dreaming of showbiz. Along the way, Fozzie Bear, the Great Gonzo, and the dazzling Miss Piggy join him in hopes of becoming film stars too. But when Kermit turns down a job offer from Doc Hopper, a fast-food mogul seeking to promote his French-fried frog-leg franchise, Kermit and the gang must elude Hopper’s clutches to achieve their dreams.
