Some critics consider this movie to be the best of the Muppets pictures, due to its humor and high execution level by director Frank Oz, who also provides the voice for the pig.
A charming spoof, the tale concerns Kermit, Miss Piggy and the rest of the gang trying to get backing for their Broadway show.
The cast includes Dabney Coleman, Art Carney, James Coco, Gregory Hines and Joan Rivers.
