“A bear in his natural habitat. A Studebaker.” Yes, we all knew that Fozzie was the greatest Borscht Belt comic of his generation, and with that one perfect gag, The Muppet Movie proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt. It also proved that no one could bring a few feet of felt and sliced ping-pong balls to life like Jim Henson and Frank Oz. A tale for the lovers, the dreamers, and anyone who believes a frog can ride a bike, Kermit takes the gang from the swamps to the standard “rich and famous” contract. – Richard Whittaker
